Jericho Receivers launches GPS-independent atomic clock using ATSC 3.0

Jericho Receivers said June 30 it is now selling a software-defined atomic clock that combines GNSS, ATSC 3.0 broadcast timing and network time sources to keep precision timing running during jamming, spoofing or satellite outages. The company is targeting critical infrastructure, defense and telecom users that need resilient positioning, navigation and timing.

Why it matters: - Jericho Receivers is pitching the SDAC as a backup and complement to satellite timing for systems that cannot afford drift during outages. - The product is aimed at critical infrastructure where assured positioning, navigation and timing, or PNT, matters for operations and security. - The company says the design is meant to reduce dependence on GNSS alone, which can be vulnerable to jamming and spoofing.

What happened: - Jericho Receivers, a wholly owned subsidiary of All 6G, announced the commercial launch of its Software-Defined Atomic Clock on June 30, 2026, in West Palm Beach, Florida. - The SDAC fuses GNSS, ATSC 3.0 Broadcast Positioning System signals and network-based precision time protocols. - Jericho Receivers said the product is now available for evaluation and deployment. - The company directs interested users to more information and demonstrations.

The details: - The SDAC is designed to keep atomic-clock-grade timing accurate when GNSS signals are jammed, spoofed or unavailable. - The system continuously cross-references multiple time references instead of relying on traditional holdover mode. - Traditional holdover keeps internal time after a satellite outage, but time drift is unavoidable. - Jericho Receivers says the architecture combines three timing sources: GNSS for primary high-precision timing, ATSC 3.0 terrestrial broadcasts with BPS as a GPS-independent complement, and network precision time references for IP infrastructure. - The company says the SDAC provides continuous, high-accuracy synchronization in challenging environments. - The product is designed and manufactured in the U.S. under All 6G’s no-Chinese-chip policy. - Jericho Receivers says the SDAC is suited for 5G and 6G networks, data centers, power grids, financial systems, defense applications and other critical infrastructure. - The company provided media contact details for Jericho Receivers / All 6G, including info@All6G.com and 561-444-7771.

Between the lines: - The launch ties ATSC 3.0 to a broader national timing use case, not just broadcast delivery. - ATSC president Madeleine Noland said ATSC 3.0 was designed to support precise time transfer and positioning through BPS, and called the Jericho product a terrestrial complement to GNSS. - All 6G CEO Dean Goodman said the product fills a long-standing need for a true complement to satellite signals and is intended to support secure, resilient infrastructure for 5G, 6G and beyond. - Goodman also said the system supports the resilient national PNT infrastructure highlighted by FCC Chairman Carr. - The messaging suggests Jericho is positioning broadcasting infrastructure as part of the timing-security stack, not a niche fallback.

What's next: - Jericho Receivers is seeking evaluation and deployment customers for the SDAC. - The company is also signaling broader adoption of ATSC 3.0 capabilities as a timing source for critical networks. - All 6G says the launch fits its broader mission to bridge broadcast expertise with 6G-era infrastructure needs.

The bottom line: - Jericho Receivers is betting that resilient timing will become a bigger selling point as GNSS disruption risks grow, and it is using ATSC 3.0 to make that case.
