KEEP TRACK OF TIME DOWN TO MILLIONTHS OF A SECOND

As a time server, your phone will have connections to dozens of other GPS devices and NTP servers. Get your time from the most accurate sources and provide a necessary point of reference between other receivers to ensure that all neighboring devices are accurate in parallel.

SEE YOUR LATITUDINAL/LONGITUDINAL LOCATION DOWN TO THE NEAREST METER

Satellite triangulation with GPS allows you to observe your personal location on the globe to mere feet. And as a server making communication with GPS sources, your location will update as often as you want it to. Know your place in the wider world!

FIND THE SATELLITES IN THE SKY SUPPORTING YOUR PERSONAL GPS

Speaking of satellites, with the touch of a button you can find out their location as well. The low-orbit network of lightspeed information is at your fingertips.

WATCH YOUR SERVER TRAFFIC

As a time server, you’ll play host to a thousand devices relying on your accurate measurements. Keep track of mile a minute requests measured out in precise graphs in real time.

SEE THE DIFFERENCE YOU’RE MAKING
