Title:
TimeLink for the North
Agreement Value:
$40,926.00
Agreement Date:
Feb 10, 2020 - Mar 9, 2021
Description:
High precision time stamping is an essential feature of the operation of high throughput and secure networks in northern locations. In this prototyping project Nuvujaq will work with NRC researchers to undertake the testing and integration of a time stamping device – the NRC TimeLink – in remote the Northern locations of Inuvik, Iqualuit and Ulukhaktok, building towards future use-cases on 5G and later generation networks.Nuvujaq will design and assemble testbeds for the TimeLink system in collaboration with NRC researchers. The system will function for two years to analyze variances from the baseline and overall system performance in remote communities as compared to the reference clock at NRC in Ottawa. In parallel, Nuvujaq will offer timing network services to local ISPs on ‘best effort’ basis and accumulate data related to system performance for different use cases: timestamping of secure local file storage, log data transfers over the satellite, earth observations and possibly other applications/use cases.
