Protecting Critical Infrastructure from GNSS Vulnerabilities
Product Information
The Microchip second-generation BlueSky™ GNSS Firewall protects GNSS systems against spoofing and jamming threats and offers multiple levels of resiliency.
BlueSky™ GNSS Firewall enables critical infrastructure providers to harden the security of their operations from GNSS threats and deliver a more reliable and secure service. The security-hardened system provides protection against GNSS threats such as jamming, spoofing and complete outage. It also supports a range of precision timing technologies, including atomic clocks, to enable continuous operation when GNSS may be completely denied for extended periods. In addition, Microchip is expanding the GNSS portfolio with the introduction of a BlueSky option to its TimePictra™ software management suite, providing centralised control and visibility of GNSS reception across regional, national and global geographic areas.
BlueSky protects legacy systems that can be easily spoofed - fooled into locking on to a simulated GNSS signal that could be poisoning critical installations with false time and/or frequency. Deploying solutions like the Bluesky GNSS firewall as a wrapper around these older systems offers protection against not only spoofing but jamming and other unintentional interference sources too.
