ICM SMT 360 Multi-GNSS Timing Module

Protempis’s ICM SMT 360™ module is a multi-GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, BEIDOU and Galileo) receiver, optimized for stationary applications to generate precise timing signal. The ICM SMT 360 is designed to provide time and frequency to small cells, from residential/enterprise femtocell to rural microcell. The ICM SMT 360 generates pulse per second (PPS) and a precise 10MHz reference clock for synchronization of small cells. The ICM SMT 360 timing module includes many of Protempis’s standard timing features, including Time-Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (T-RAIM) algorithm, automatic self-survey, and GNSS disciplining of the oscillator to provide an accurate frequency reference.

Protempis is a leading provider of advanced GNSS-based time and synchronization solutions, formerly known as Trimble Time and Frequency. The company offers a comprehensive range of products that ensure accurate time synchronization for critical infrastructure in telecommunications, finance, data centers, industrial automation, and the energy sector.

Their product portfolio includes GNSS receivers, disciplined clocks, PTP Grandmaster clocks, smart antennas, and NTP time servers. One of their flagship products is the Thunderbolt™ GM330, a PTP Grandmaster clock designed to meet the demands of modern communication networks such as 5G, O-RAN, and private wireless systems. This device integrates GNSS time sourcing, PTP synchronization, and high-performance network switching in a compact format.

The company is known for its reliability, with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of over 1,000,000 hours for its GPS/GNSS disciplined clocks. Their FreqOut™ architecture delivers atomic clock-like performance at a fraction of the cost, eliminating the need for expensive rubidium clocks.

Protempis serves a wide range of industries including aerospace, finance, healthcare, industrial automation, and telecommunications. Their solutions are designed to meet strict timing requirements, ensuring operational efficiency and regulatory compliance.
