Summary
The infrastructure of society depends critically on time and frequency services. Requirements for time and frequency exist with widely varying precision and accuracy. The applications include positioning and navigation services, time domain astronomy, intelligent transportation systems, communications, power grid, banking and finance, emergency services, water flow, science, religion, and general public needs.
