Iridium, Adtran announces European, Asia-Pacific launch of solutions with STL

Adtran (ADTN), in partnership with Iridium Communications (IRDM) announced the European and Asia-Pacific launch of its synchronization solutions featuring Iridium Satellite Time and Location, STL, technology, a significant step in countering growing threats to Global Navigation Satellite Systems, GNSS. Adtran’s OSA 5405-S PTP compact grandmaster clock with STL capabilities and its OSA 5400 STL module are now available to timing network operators in Western Europe, major countries in Eastern Europe, Turkey, and parts of Asia-Pacific, including the majority of Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea. The solutions enhance the resilience and reliability of critical infrastructure, such as 5G networks, defense systems and many more. Leveraging low-Earth orbit satellites to deliver precise and secure positioning, navigation and timing services, the devices ensure continuous synchronization even in environments where GNSS is compromised. As a certified Iridium partner, Adtran offers the technology through two distinct purchasing options: an annual service license for optimal flexibility or bundled with equipment for long-term financial planning.
