World Economic Forum's 'Quantum for Society' Challenge Names Xairos as Top Innovator
LAFAYETTE, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Xairos Systems, Inc., a quantum technology company that is developing a global resilient space-based timing architecture to augment timing from GPS (Global Positioning Systems), announces its selection as a Top Innovator in the 'Quantum for Society Challenge.' The award was presented on World Quantum Day in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, by the World Economic Forum and partners the Center for the 4 th Industrial Revolution Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the Uplink Initiative. Xairos was selected as a Top Innovator in the World Economic Forum's 'Quantum for Society Challenge," for developing a global resilient space-based timing architecture to augment timing synchronization from GPS using quantum technologies. Share Xairos joined a select set of companies in Riyadh that were recognized for harnessing quantum technologies to ensure a sustainable future for humanity. Specifically, Xairos was recognized for their role in developing a global resilient space-based timing architecture using Quantum Time Transfer. Accurate timing synchronization is critical for improving the efficiency of power grids, networks and data centers, including those needing higher compute capabilities due to rising demand from Artificial Intelligence. 'We are honored to be selected by the World Economic Forum, the Center for the 4th Industrial Revolution Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the Uplink Initiative,' said David Mitlyng, CEO of Xairos. 'With their support, we can accelerate the vision of using quantum tech for the betterment of society.' About Xairos Xairos is developing a global resilient space-based timing architecture using Quantum Time Transfer (QTT), a protocol invented, patented, and perfected by the Xairos team. Accurate timing synchronization is critical for the world's transportation, networks, financial transactions, data centers, and power grids. Xairos is commercializing QTT to develop the next generation of Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT), with sub-nanosecond-level accuracy (1000 times better) and the security needed for future networks and applications.

GPS jammers put in place along India-Pak borders, harrowing time for pilots
NEW DELHI: The electronic warfare units deployed by India to jam Global Positioning Systems (GPS) of Pakistan military aircraft along the Indo-Pak border are creating issues for flights within India flying over cities in the vicinity, said an airport source. There is no major passenger safety involved but the flights are forced to fly a little longer due to problems encountered by the navigation aids inside the cockpit. 'Of late, we have received complaints from pilots of different airlines flying over Amritsar, Chandigarh and Srinagar about the sudden signal drops at some points during the travel. This forces them to fly a little longer than expected. Airlines are now loading some extra fuel in the flights flying towards this direction, taking into account the need to move around a bit extra distance whenever needed,' the source said. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation too has been apprised of the issue, the source added. According to Global tracker of aircraft flights, flightradar24, in a report states, 'GPS jamming involves saturating GPS receivers with unknown signals to render the receiver unusable, essentially degrading everyone's ability to effectively use GPS for navigational issues.' Aviation safety consultant and former pilot Captain Mohan Ranganathan said, 'All flight management systems use GPS signals and separations are based on accurate signals. If they are degraded, radar separations and conventional navigation has to be followed. This will cause delays. Airlines and Air Traffic Controllers will have to anticipate disruptions in schedules.' A pilot, requesting anonymity said, 'That can happen in any war-ravaged area. It is called as a GPS denied airspace.' He added, 'Defence aircraft mostly are fully equipped and won't be affected by GPS spoofing as the technology and satellites are under our control.'
