Nanosecond accuracy, assured uptime, and rapid deployment for mission-critical industries.

Prague – October 28, 2025 – Safran Electronics & Defense has launched TimeLynx™, a breakthrough Time-as-a-Service (TaaS) delivering nanosecond-accurate, UTC-traceable time directly to customer infrastructure. Combining unmatched precision, GNSS-independent resilience, and single-tenant security in a flexible subscription model, TimeLynx™ sets a new standard for timing-sensitive industries including Finance, Telecommunications, Broadcast & Media, and Data.

TimeLynx™ guarantees 100-nanosecond accuracy with White Rabbit and 250 nanoseconds with PTP, backed by a 99.9% service-level agreement. Built for resilience, the service integrates safeguards against GNSS jamming and spoofing, with automatic fallback mechanisms to ensure uninterrupted availability. Fully traceable to national metrology institutes and independent of GNSS, TimeLynx™ delivers sovereign, trusted time with layered defenses. In case of disruption, it seamlessly switches to alternative references and maintains performance with rubidium oscillator holdover, while dedicated timing ports provide single tenancy and network segregation for the highest levels of security and reliability.

“TimeLynx™ is truly a multi-industry disruptor,” said Alexandre Lenoble, Senior Vice President – GNSS & Timing Business Line at Safran Electronics & Defense. “Customers gain sovereign, traceable, and interference-resilient timing as a managed service, empowering them to focus on innovation while we deliver the foundation they can rely on.”

Shifting from a Capex to an Opex model provides companies with greater flexibility while modernizing their financial and operational approach. This transition replaces large upfront investments in hardware and perpetual licenses with cloud-based infrastructure and subscription services, aligning costs with actual usage. The result is improved financial predictability, optimized resource allocation, and the agility to scale quickly in response to market demands – alongside a lower total cost of ownership compared to hardware-based models.

By introducing TimeLynx™, Safran reaffirms its leadership in precision navigation and timing, delivering a service that combines cutting-edge innovation with operational resilience. With unparalleled accuracy, reliability, and rapid deployment, TimeLynx™ equips critical industries with the trusted temporal foundation they need to thrive in an increasingly synchronized world.

The service will be available initially in New York, Chicago, London, and Frankfurt, with plans for further global expansion.
