Timing Solutions’ director, Zdenek Chaloupka, has spent more than 12 years in PNT industry and academia. His focus has been in the timing and sync area: starting low in the time distribution chain by designing algorithms for packet-based time synchronization using IEEE 1588v2 PTP protocol and moving up to design algorithms for Global Navigation Satellite System timing receiver.
Before starting Timing Solutions Ltd, Zdenek had been with u-blox AG acting as a Head of Timing Product Team. During his time with u-blox, he helped define new features for timing products, and then drove research, development, integration, and production of GNSS based time transfer GNSS modules/chips. He also served as an ITU-T delegate for standardization – driving u-blox’s standardization strategies for timing products – and giving him an opportunity to understand requirements of telecommunication sector.
Prior joining u-blox, Zdenek was a Research Fellow at European Space Agency, where he investigated stability of Galileo signals for current and future timing applications.
