Attend the Resilient Timing for Critical Infrastructure Webinar April 6 — a Precursor to ATIS’ Workshop on Synchronization and Timing Systems

THE WEBINAR: On Wednesday, April 6, at 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. EDT, the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) presents the Resilient Timing for Critical Infrastructure webinar, a precursor to the Annual Workshop on Synchronization and Timing Systems (WSTS). The webinar features top industry experts delivering insight into the latest techniques for adding resilience and robustness to timing infrastructure. REGISTER.

BACKGROUND: Critical infrastructure requires precise timing to operate. This reliance makes the infrastructure vulnerable to disruptions in timing that can be either intentional or unintentional. Intentional disruptions can be caused by GNSS jamming or spoofing or network attacks.. Unintentional disruptions are usually caused by equipment failures or acts of nature.

The webinar covers the most critical topics in timing resilience, including:

  • Redundancy
  • Holdover
  • Management
  • Monitoring
  • Alternative reference time sources

Examples address networks used for critical industry applications such as:

  • Power grids
  • Telecommunications
  • Finance systems
  • Broadcast/media

Following brief presentations from the experts, a longer panel discussion will be held with time for Q&A from the audience.

Speakers:

Doug Arnold, Principal Technologist, Meinberg
David Chandler, Product Line Manager, Microchip
Anand Ram, Vice President Business Development, Calnex
Nino De Falcis, Senior Director of Business Development, Oscilloquartz

Moderator:

Marc Weiss, WSTS Chair, Time & Frequency Expert Consultant
