Such as fitness trackers, home security systems, and even fridges/freezers are becoming both “smarter” with advanced features and wirelessly connected to the internet (“Internet of Things”) for control using our phones and other devices.

Monitor and diagnose patients remotely with a connection to the internet, mitigating the need for regular in-person visits with a practitioner.

The demand for cloud-based services, cloud computing, and 5G network infrastructure is creating the challenge for the highest precision timing solutions.

Manufacturers are using more robotics and sensors, which require precise timing electronics to function correctly. Without the highest timing precision and secure high-speed data connections, robots might go out of sync, or incorrect instructions could be sent to a robotic arm. Potentially leading to costly manufacturing errors.

There is a global need for power systems which do not have a lasting impact on the global climate. This is driving the need for electric vehicles, solar farms, grid battery systems, smart street lighting, and other applications. All of these require precise timing in their electronics, high-level of power control, and most secure data connections to function correctly.
