Speaker
Description
Starting in 2025, GÉANT aims to establish a set of cross-border fibre links to crate a European infrastructure for the distribution of time and frequency. The implementation is planned to be completed within the GN5-2 funding cycle. These new fibre links will complement existing national time-frequency links, ultimately forming the basis of a comprehensive Europe-wide infrastructure. This presentation will explore how this emerging fibre network will facilitate novel scientific research initiatives in Europe. The new time and frequency network will help the NMIs perform experiments that will allow the SI second to be redefined based on optical atomic clocks.
What will the TNC audience take away from your talk
The audience will discover the importance of time/frequency to scientific research and the next generation of network technologies. They will learn how GEANT will invest in a new infrastructure to support these needs.
