CHANDLER, Ariz., Feb. 11,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- VIAVI Solutions Inc.
(VIAVI) (NASDAQ: VIAV) today launched EdgeGM™ 7000, a highly
resilient Edge Grandmaster Clock building on the industry-leading
SecurePNT™ portfolio. EdgeGM 7000 offers up to 25G Precision Time
Protocol (PTP) and multi-orbit SecureTimeSM
altGNSSSM for the most comprehensive assurance of
Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) services used in critical
infrastructure operations worldwide. This solution will be
showcased during MWC Barcelona at VIAVI Stand 5A18 in Hall 5, from
March 3 to 6, 2025.
Essential networks throughout the world – including 5G/6G
telecommunications, AI hyperscale data centers, defense, public
safety, transportation, aviation, energy and finance – rely on
publicly available GPS and GNSS signals for efficient data
synchronization based on timing and location. These vulnerable and
single-source signals are occasionally unavailable or at risk of
being jammed or spoofed, or satellites themselves can be attacked,
with potentially catastrophic consequences. Governments around the
world have begun mandating that critical infrastructure providers
improve resilience of their networks through more responsible use
of PNT services.
SecurePNT and SecureTime from VIAVI offer the most resilient
timing in the industry, with multisource assurance combining
signals from GNSS-dependent government and GNSS-independent
commercial constellations across Medium Earth Orbit (MEO),
Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO),
respectively. The EdgeGM 7000 integrates advanced and scalable
resiliency and PTP speed capabilities in a compact half 19" wide
and 1U height rack-mountable unit with scalable software options.
For instance, it can be upgraded from 1/10G to 25G PTP with a
simple license, and GNSS backup can be activated with an on-demand
alternate GNSS GEO-L source license over the air. EdgeGM exceeds
Level 4 PNT resiliency as specified in the IEEE P1252 standard. It
also incorporates PTP profiles for multiple industries, including
telecommunications, enterprise, power and more.
"The world has seen a steady rise in threats to critical
infrastructure, including disruption to the Positioning, Navigation
and Timing services that are so vital to secure operations," said
Doug Russell, Senior Vice President,
AvComm, VIAVI. "With the EdgeGM 7000, VIAVI is enhancing our
portfolio to stay ahead of a rapidly evolving threat landscape,
providing customers with the industry's most powerful features in a
flexible and scalable architecture."
