NanoSync III™  Model 407
 

 
 

The NanoSync III is a very compact (2.25 inch x 4.0 inch x 8.0 inch), low power GPS referenced time and frequency module providing a precise 1PPS and 10MHz reference in a small, ruggedized enclosure.

Well-suited for various military platforms supporting wireless and electronic warfare applications, the NanoSync III SAASM comes equipped with either a GB-GRAM or MRU SAASM receiver, easy-to-use key load connector, PLGR/DAGR port for hot start GPS acquisition and a zeroize switch. NanoSync III is also available with a civil C/A code GPS receiver.

In the event of GPS signal loss, the NanoSync III will continue to provide accurate time and frequency using a high stability crystal oscillator (OCXO). The NanoSync III uses the latest FEI-Zyfer proprietary learning algorithm to compensate for external and internal conditions that may affect accuracy, ensuring the most accurate GPS time and frequency reference available.

The NanoSync III can be monitored and controlled through an easily accessible RS-232 port.
