Using GPS For NTP Server Time SynchronisationUsing GPS For NTP Server Time SynchronisationAuthor: David EvansThe GPS system is a satellite navigation system operated by the US Department of Defence. It essentially provides a subscription-free civilian timing and navigation service. GPS is primarily intended as a highly accurate global positioning and navigation reference. However, a by-product of accurate positioning is that each orbiting satellite also has an integrated highly precise atomic clock unit synchronised by the US Naval Observatory (USNO). It is therefore ideal for providing a high accuracy time reference for computer timing systems, such as NTP. |
