CHANDLER, Ariz. - VIAVI Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ:VIAV) announced today the launch of the µPNT GDO-1000, a GNSS-disciplined oscillator in M.2 B-key form factor, according to a press release statement.
The device measures 22mm x 42mm and weighs less than 4 grams. The company states it is designed for defense and airborne platforms, unmanned systems, data center cards and communications equipment where space and power constraints exist.
The GDO-1000 features dual-frequency L1/L5 GNSS reception with microsecond-class 24-hour holdover capability. The module draws approximately half a watt of power and uses a MEMS-based oscillator rather than traditional quartz Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillators.
The device includes AI and ML algorithms developed by Jackson Labs, which VIAVI acquired. These algorithms predict and compensate for oscillator behavior across environmental conditions. The module accepts an external 1PPS input, allowing it to be disciplined by M-Code GPS or alternative navigation sources.
"Until now, customers needing reliable timing in compact systems have had to choose between two suboptimal options. CSACs are expensive and supply-constrained. Full-size OCXO-based timing solutions are too large and power-hungry for many modern platforms," said Doug Russell, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Aerospace & Defense at VIAVI.
The GDO-1000 will be displayed at VIAVI Booth 407 at the 2026 Joint Navigation Conference from June 1-4 at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center.
