TrueTime Introduces Low Cost, Embedded GPS Time and Frequency Module; New OEM Module Allows Design Engineers to Easily Integrate GPS Time and Frequency.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SANTA ROSA Santa Rosa, city, Argentina Santa Rosa, city (1991 pop. 80,629), capital of La Pampa prov., central Argentina. It is a modern city and road junction surrounded by a rich agricultural and cattle-raising area. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 12, 2000 TrueTime, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : TRUE), today announced the introduction of its new GPS Synchronized Time and Frequency Module, the GPS-TFM. The new time and frequency module is an ideal solution for many applications such as video synchronization, cellular frequency references, E911 Time of Arrival position determination systems, telecom synchronization systems, network quality of service measurement systems, and other applications requiring precise time and frequency. The GPS-TFM is a versatile core product that can be custom tailored to meet specific OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and requirements. Modules can be supplied delivering a broad range of reference frequencies and timing outputs. The GPS-TFM is specifically designed for OEM applications that require a precise source of time and frequency with a simple interface, small size and low cost. The evaluation module acquires precise time and frequency from atomic clocks aboard Global Positioning Systems (GPS) satellites with 40 nanosecond (1) One billionth of a second. Used to measure the speed of logic and memory chips, a nanosecond can be visualized by converting it to distance. In one nanosecond, electricity travels approximately a foot in a wire. time accuracy and 1 X 10(to the power of -12) frequency accuracy referenced to the world's international time standard -- Universal Time Coordinated (time, standard) Universal Time Coordinated - An incorrect term for Coordinated Universal Time. (UTC (Coordinated Universal Time, Temps Universel Coordonné) The international time standard (formerly Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT). Zero hours UTC is midnight in Greenwich, England, which is located at 0 degrees longitude. ). During satellite tracking there is no long-term frequency drift In electrical engineering, and particularly in telecommunications, frequency drift is an unintended and generally arbitrary offset of an oscillator from its nominal frequency. . "We are pleased to announce the addition of the GPS-TFM to the TrueTime family of products. The release of the GPS-TFM complements our strategy to further develop OEM relationships and position TrueTime for long-term success," said Lisa Withers withers the region over the backline where the neck joins the thorax and where the dorsal margins of the scapulae lie just below the skin. fistulous withers see fistulous withers. , TrueTime's president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . Why Time and Synchronization is Vital for Today's Growing Networks Precise time and synchronization is vital for voice, data, video and e-commerce applications. Most applications, especially voice and video, have timing requirements that demand an ever-increasing reliability and accuracy not realized with conventional computer clock systems. Electronic fund transfers, stock trading and other e-commerce transactions also depend on accurate time for authentication. In addition, accurately synchronized time is critical for network security, software development, log-file accuracy, billing systems, database integrity, and many more essential applications. Real-time, delay-sensitive data is susceptible to drop-off without the appropriate solution. TrueTime products provide greater accuracy and resolution than conventional timing devices for a wide array of mission-critical networks, e-commerce, telecommunications, broadcast and aerospace applications. About TrueTime TrueTime, Inc. designs, develops, manufactures and markets precision time and frequency products that are essential components used by many technology-based markets to provide greater accuracy and resolution than can be obtained from conventional timing devices.
