Septentrio, part of Hexagon, launched a miniaturized timing module designed to bring nanosecond-precision timing to high-volume applications requiring strict size and weight (SWaP) constraints.

The mosaic-G5 T measures 23 mm x 16 mm and weighs 2.2 g, making it suitable for data centers, telecommunications networks, satellite communications, financial institutions and other critical infrastructure requiring precise time synchronization.

The module receives signals from multiple GNSS satellite constellations and includes anti-jamming and anti-spoofing technology to maintain service continuity. It features built-in cybersecurity capabilities and dual pulse-per-second outputs for high-resolution timing.

“For over 25 years, we have been producing world-recognized timing receivers, serving critical applications and major industry players,” said Yasmine Hunter, product manager at Septentrio. “With our next-generation technology, we are now bringing precise and resilient time in an ultra-compact form factor to high-volume applications.”

The receiver operates across multiple frequencies, enabling high precision even in areas with radio interference. It supports clock and frequency input for synchronization and is ready to support Galileo High Accuracy Service. The module remains compatible with other correction services that enhance timing accuracy.

Septentrio will demonstrate the mosaic-G5 T at the International Timing and Sync Forum in Prague, Czech Republic, Oct. 27-31 at stand 21.
