A study by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the U.S. Government agency responsible for maintaining national time scale, shows that Satelles’ Satellite Time and Location (STL) provides a signal that is independent of GNSS with exceptional timing stability and reach that extends indoors, beyond the range of GNSS signals.
Following a detailed performance study in 2020, NIST determined that STL is a reliable source of timing that is highly consistent with Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and is based on a signal that is independent from GPS and other GNSS. The STL service delivered this consistent performance in a deep indoor environment where GNSS signals did not reach.

RESTON, Va., April 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Satelles, Inc. (www.satelles.com), innovative provider of highly secure satellite-based time and location services, today announced an important new finding by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) about Satellite Time and Location (STL). Following a detailed performance study in 2020, NIST determined that STL is a reliable source of timing that is highly consistent with Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and is based on a signal that is independent from the Global Positioning System (GPS) and other Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). The STL service was able to deliver this consistent performance in a deep indoor environment where GNSS signals did not reach.
