Description

Ever wondered why your wristwatch isn’t quite enough for cutting-edge science? Time and Frequency Transfer (TFT) is the invisible force behind everything from radio telescopes to subatomic particle physics—but what is it, really? In this accessible, jargon-free talk, we’ll break down time, frequency, and how they’re transferred over fiber—without the technical deep dive. Whether you’re curious or just tired of nodding along in meetings, this session will give you a clear understanding of why TFT matters and how NRENs are shaping its future.
