Secure Your Legacy Timing Systems From GNSS Threats
Protect GNSS Critical Infrastructure with BlueSky™ GNSS Firewall Validated and Hardened Outputs
By providing a cost-effective overlay solution installed between existing GNSS antennas and GNSS systems, the BlueSky™ GNSS Firewall solves the problem of protecting systems that have already been deployed and simultaneously provides protection for new packet timing systems. Like a network firewall, the BlueSky GNSS Firewall protects against untrusted sky-based signals that can be subjected to jamming and spoofing.
With the rise in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) vulnerabilities, Microchip’s TimePictra platform and BlueSky GNSS Firewall offer a robust solution for monitoring GNSS reception quality and preventing minor disruptions from escalating into serious outages. This system allows infrastructure operators to identify whether a GNSS vulnerability is localized or affects a broader geographical area to enable swift and cost-effective action.
- Identification of GNSS system threats and protection from spoofing and jamming
- Seamless integration between existing GNSS antenna and GNSS system
- Optional Rubidium Miniature Atomic Clock (MAC) can be installed inside the unit
- 1 PPS and 10 MHz timing reference inputs for extended holdover (for example, connection of external cesium reference)
- Redundant AC or DC power options with power monitoring and load sharing
- Local and remote Command Line Interface (CLI) in addition to secure and easy-to-use web interface
- Embedded software is field upgradeable with new GNSS validation rules
- Seamless integration with TimePictra® software suite for end-to-end management of up to thousands of units from a single server
Protect PNT Infrastructure with the TimePictra® Platform and BlueSky™ GNSS Firewall
This video tutorial demonstrates use cases for the hardened and validated outputs from the BlueSky GNSS Firewall to protect critical infrastructure operations that depend on GNSS as a timing reference signal.
