Atomic clocks are used in Global Positioning Systems (GPS) software to provide precise timing information. They are used to synchronize the timing of GPS satellites, which are used to calculate the exact location of a user. Atomic clocks are highly accurate and reliable, and are essential for the functioning of GPS systems. Atomic clocks are typically used in combination with other timing technologies, such as quartz oscillators, to ensure the accuracy of GPS systems. They are also used in other applications, such as telecommunications, navigation, and financial services. Atomic clocks are typically manufactured by specialized companies, and are available in a variety of sizes and configurations. They are typically sold as standalone units, or as part of a larger GPS system. Some of the companies in the Atomic Clock market include Symmetricom, Microsemi, Orolia, Spectracom, and Trimble.
