Global Navigation Satellite Systems Engineering, Policy, and Design
Positioning is the fundamental prerequisite for autonomy—and both absolute (global) and relative (local) information is required. While a critical piece, GNSS and inertial need to be combined with other sensors, like cameras, to perceive the surrounding environment to enable autonomous navigation.

Because of its vulnerabilities to spoofing and jamming, critical infrastructure can no longer rely on GNSS alone for PNT. Alternative sources must be part of the equation, which is why Adtran recently partnered with Satelles to add Satellite Time and Location (STL) capabilities to its Oscilloquartz synchronization products.
