The UBLOX M10 timing module integrates u-blox's 10th-generation GNSS technology with precise 1PPS (Pulse Per Second) output, designed for applications requiring nanosecond-level synchronization. Supporting concurrent GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou reception, it delivers <2.0m CEP positioning accuracy and ±30ns timing precision in a compact industrial-grade package. Ideal for telecommunications, power grid synchronization, and scientific instrumentation:cite[3]:cite[4]:cite[7].
