‘ASTORS’ Award Winner Orolia, Delivers its First Low SWaP-C Miniaturized Rubidium Oscillator. Ultra-Portable High Precision & Performance Atomic Frequency Source

Orolia, a Multiple Award Winner for Three Consecutive ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Secuity Awards Programs, has introduced a breakthrough low SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power and Cost), Miniaturized Rubidium Oscillator, the Spectratime mRO-50, to meet the latest commercial, military and aerospace requirements where time stability and power consumption are critical.

Orolia is the world leader in Resilient Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) solutions and space-based atomic clocks.

The Spectratime mRO-50 provides a one day holdover below 1µs and a retrace below 1 x 10-10 in a form factor (50.8 x 50.8 x 19.5mm) that takes up only 51 cc of volume (about one-third of the volume compared to standard rubidiums) and consumes only 0.45W of power, which is about ten times less than existing solutions with similar capabilities.

With these competitive advantages, the new Spectratime mRO-50 Miniaturized Rubidium Oscillator provides accurate frequency and precise time synchronization to mobile applications, such as military radio-pack systems in GNSS denied environments.

The new Spectratime mRO-50 from 'ASTORS' Award Winner Orolia, meets core telecom, military and critical infrastructure requirements to provide wider thermal range, quicker lock and higher stability.

Its improved operating temperature of-10°C to 60°C (military version extended to -40°C to 75°C) is also ideal for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), and underwater applications.

Applications Include:

Telecom Defense
Navigation Battery Powered Instruments
Broadcast

Main Features Include:

Solutions:

High accuracy and stability atomic frequency clock High stability frequency source
Low SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power and Cost) features Telecom & mobile network synchronization (TDM, PTP)
Enhanced MAC (Miniature Atomic Clock) technology Military airborne, ground, mobile & unmanned radio communications
Small form factor & ultra-portable packaging Oil & gas sensor-based exploration
Standard quartz oscillator pinouts Instrumentation
MAC / SA.3x compatible pinouts Portable & battery-sensitive applications
RoHS compliant GPS/GNSS-based applications

The clock design is based on the proven rubidium clock heritage at Orolia and it has been adapted for low power (0.36W@3.3V) and size (51cc).

Global critical infrastructure requires continuous access to accurate, reliable PNT data.

The US and the UK are already advancing national programs to increase protection for this essential data.

The US is increasing PNT data protection across a wide range of critical infrastructure programs with the Executive Order on PNT.

In the UK, Resilient Time Distribution has become a national priority through the National Timing Center Program.

These programs include key steps such as establishing PNT profiles and conducting vulnerability testing to identify weaknesses.

Next, Resilient PNT solutions will provide additional layers of protection so that critical infrastructure can continuously prevent, respond and recover from PNT data threats over time.

Together, the companies will offer the most advanced and proven solutions to help protect these critical applications against disruption and manipulation of their PNT services, including GPS/GNSS jamming, spoofing and outages.

“This partnership is a key example of Orolia’s commitment to combining best in class technologies into more robust Resilient PNT solutions for our customers,” said Orolia CEO Jean-Yves Courtois.

“Those who require the most accurate, extremely precise time and frequency technology will now also benefit from an unprecedented level of resilience to protect critical PNT data sources, for more confidence and peace of mind.”

To Offer Resilient, Sub-Nanosecond Time Transfer and Frequency Distribution
New Global Partnership to Offer Resilient, Sub-Nanosecond Time Transfer and Frequency Distribution

In its industry-leading position, Orolia has the unique expertise to offer an unparalleled modular approach to Resilient PNT, which includes a combination of GNSS signals protected with Interference Detection and Mitigation (IDM) technology, together with Low Earth Orbit (LEO) secure alternative signals.

Now the Orolia-Seven Solutions partnership also offers terrestrial sub-nanosecond time distribution from distant and potentially redundant locations.

Orolia’s Resilient PNT suite also provides continuous protection assurance with vulnerability testing to keep pace with emerging threats.

“The goal is to offer the best time transfer and frequency distribution solutions in terms of accuracy, reliability and interoperability,” said Eduardo Ros, CEO D. and Co-founder of Seven Solutions.

“Many segments, such as Finance and 5G Telecommunications, are developing new functionalities that require ultra-accurate time distribution accuracy.”

“Reliability is enhanced with built-in redundant resources and network-based failover mechanisms.”

“Finally, in order to maximize interoperability, our solution for time transfer is based on the White Rabbit concept that has been pushed over the last decade to become the basis of the standard High Accuracy time transfer profile (within the recent release of IEEE 1588 of precision time protocol).”

This new partnership between Seven Solutions and Orolia will facilitate global operations and naturally integrate with reliable time sources.
