GPS denial mitigation and NTP timing for compromised locations protecting timing systems from untrusted signals

The integrity of the GNSS system is paramount for ensuring seamless and secure operations. Holkirk’s Next Generation Land Terminals (NGLT) are at the forefront of this innovation, with manual input of both geo-location and current time stamping.

Now working with our partners Milexia UK , your GNSS security can be further enhanced with the integration of the BlueSky GNSS Firewall. This state-of-the-art solution offers unparalleled protection against untrusted signals, providing a robust safeguard for your GNSS systems.

The BlueSky Firewall is designed to protect deployed GNSS systems by offering a cost-effective overlay solution. This revolutionary technology is installed between existing GNSS antennas and GNSS systems, effectively creating a secure barrier that shields systems inside the firewall from untrusted, sky-based signals outside the firewall. By incorporating the BlueSky Firewall, Holkirk’s NGLT ensures that your timing systems remain accurate, reliable, and secure.
