Septentrio provided its mosaic-X5 GNSS module for Jackson Labs Technologies’ (a Viavi Solutions company) timing/frequency products, delivering nanosecond accuracy even in the presence of RF (radio frequency) interference.
Septentrio mosaic-X5
Jackson Labs develops assured position, navigation, and timing (A-PNT) solutions to secure applications for military, government, and critical infrastructure applications.
This includes modules, subsystems, and box-level solutions such as front-end receivers, transcoders, rack-mounted equipment, and patented retrofit technology.
PNT-6220 & mosaic-X5 Integration
Septentrio’s mosaic-X5, a compact and multi-constellation GNSS receiver module, helped to provide resilient nanosecond timing for Jackson Labs’ innovative PNT-6220.
PNT-6220 has a unique capability to translate GPS full-constellation multi-frequency data into a single GPS L1 CA signal.

This allows legacy GPS equipment with a standard antenna input to be easily upgraded to the latest GPS/GNSS multi-signal capacity with minimal disturbance to the network setup.
Key Benefits of the mosaic-X5
The mosaic-X5 delivers the capabilities to perform sub-microsecond time stamping for finances (i.e. timing of transactions), and time synchronization for telecom, broadcasting, and energy grids.
Septentrio’s mosaic-X5 GNSS module enables PTP (Precision Time Protocol) for sub-microsecond timing over the internet, and operates robustly even under GNSS jamming and spoofing with AIM+ Advanced Interference Mitigation technology.
As the threat of jamming and spoofing grows globally, countries like the U.S. are producing resilient PNT solutions that can be counted on to work in every environment.
Said Jackson, Founder & President of Jackson Labs, commented, “The mosaic-X5 is a small module with big impact. It has a broad spectrum of functionalities and was very easy to integrate into our hardware. We found the web interface especially useful for upgrading and configuring the GNSS receiver.”
