u-blox updates NEO-F10T with enhanced security for critical infrastructure
u-blox has announced the latest update on NEO-F10T, a compact dual-band GNSS timing module designed to meet the most stringent 5G timing requirements. This new variant of the NEO-F10T includes superior security features, including Galileo OSNMA (Open Service Navigation Message Authentication), making it an ideal solution for private networks and telecommunications infrastructure.
The NEO-F10T delivers nanosecond-level timing accuracy and incorporates advanced security protocols such as Galileo OSNMA (Open Service Navigation Message Authentication), secure boot, and secure interfaces. These features ensure the highest level of timing integrity and protection against spoofing attacks, providing customers with a reliable and secure solution for their timing needs.
“NEO-F10T is designed to meet the timing synchronisation requirements in various critical infrastructure applications on a global scale,” said Samuli Pietilä, Director of Product Line Management, Timing and Infrastructure, at u-blox. “With this update, we are happy to introduce Galileo OSNMA to strengthen the module’s robustness against malicious attacks even further.”
The NEO-F10T incorporates Galileo OSNMA, a global, free-of-charge service that enhances GNSS signal robustness by ensuring the authenticity of received navigation messages. This feature is essential for defending against signal spoofing attacks, making the NEO-F10T a trusted solution for applications where security is paramount. Additionally, the module includes advanced security protocols such as secure boot, secure interfaces, configuration lock, and T-RAIM (Time-RAIM) for integrity monitoring, ensuring the highest level of timing integrity.
The module follows the industry-standard NEO form factor, allowing customers to integrate it seamlessly into their existing designs. Designed for efficiency, the NEO-F10T operates with low power consumption, making it ideal for compact and power-sensitive environments.
