Auranet Deterministic Time Infrastructure
The AI layer for industries that run on the moment.
Every autonomous system, smart grid and robotic facility depends on knowing the exact moment. They don't just need precise time and location. They need to prove it. GPS can't. Auranet can.

The problem
Everything runs on one contested signal from space
When GPS fails, there is no fallback.
GPS is a single unencrypted signal from space — weak, unauthenticated, and producing no proof anyone can check later. Every industry below depends on it. None of them should.
A $50 jammer can cause a false relay trip — and FERC will ask for a timestamp you cannot produce.

CriticalEvery braking decision needs a court-admissible timestamp. NTP is milliseconds off and unauthenticated.

HighGPS is the only source most of these systems use. It is unencrypted, easily overpowered, and produces no verifiable record of when something happened. Auranet closes that gap.
Auranet — A signal more than 1,000,000 times more powerful than GPS.
From resilience to proof
We are not just a terrestrial GPS. We are the infrastructure that makes time trusted and verifiable.
Cesium atomic clock at the tower. Not the network's clock.
Our atomic time reference is produced at the transmit site — not relayed from GPS or the network. 15,000 watts of UHF broadcast reaches into urban canyons and indoor facilities where every competing signal fails. Where GPS fails, our signal is resilient.
Signed at the source. Verifiable offline.
Every packet is signed at the tower with a key you never hold. A regulator, court or insurer can verify it six months later — without an internet connection, without calling us. That is not an assertion. It is a proof.
One network. Time. Position. Data. Same trust.
Auranet carries PNT and broadband on a single network. An AI update, a map, an instruction, a record — all inherit the same cryptographic proof. A timing network cannot add broadband. A data network cannot add an independent precision clock. Auranet does both.
Industries
Built for the moment each sector depends on.
We build the infrastructure that other infrastructure is waiting on.
Auranet is not an app. It's the substrate two worlds are waiting on: autonomous and AI systems that must act, coordinate, and account for what they did — and the critical infrastructure already running tighter than its timing allows.
Utilities & Smart Grid
Cesium-grade timing to every substation. Signed records for every relay event. The evidence FERC asks for, before they ask.
AI Factories & Data Centers
Nanosecond PTP across every GPU, NIC and fabric hop so collectives, RDMA and checkpoint windows share one clock.
Factory & Warehouse Automation
A shared time layer across every robot cell. Software-only. A 19-day customer payback at 500+ robot scale.
Cellular & 5G Networks
GPS-independent timing on a signal 1,000,000× stronger at the receiver. Cannot be overpowered by a roadside jammer.
Digital Media & Broadcast
GPS-independent time into every tower, truck and cloud switcher. Signed Proof-of-Time for every cut, ad and in-stadium tap. The same play on the field, the board and the phone.
Autonomous Vehicles
Court-admissible Proof-of-Time for every braking event. The record NHTSA's Standing General Order demands.
Drone & Autonomous Air
Authenticated PNT and signed Proof-of-Location per flight — the record FAA BVLOS waivers will require.
Ports & Maritime
Sub-metre positioning and orchestrated operations under steel dock roofs where GPS physically cannot reach.
Pharma & Life Sciences
Signed Proof-of-Time for every GxP step. FDA-ready audit trails without the consulting overhead.
Defense & Dual-Use
A terrestrial PNT backbone that operates without satellites. Non-GPS by design. DARPA submissions active.
Natural Disasters & Emergency Response
Trusted time and position across agencies, alerts and devices in smoke, steel and rubble. The record command, courts and after-action reviews can actually use.
Verticals prove it. Value multiplies at the seams — one record everybody can trust and no single party owns.
Auranet earns trust inside industries. Over time, its value compounds in cross-industry ecosystems — one record for power and compute, one timestamp for a handover, one custody chain from plant to carrier.
Why Auranet
The critical layer that was never built
Auranet is the primary infrastructure for resilient, trusted and verifiable PNT.
Deterministic Time Infrastructure is a new category. Compute scaled. Networking scaled. Storage scaled. Time did not. It is still delivered as a single contested signal from space, unauthenticated, with no certificate of authenticity and no verifiability. Auranet is delivering Deterministic Time Infrastructure.
We build a nationwide terrestrial broadcast network that delivers trusted time and position, and the data that depends on them, over a wide area using spectrum we control, carrying cryptographic proof that humans and autonomous systems can trust and verify.
not a site
Wide-area UHF coverage per site. Most terrestrial alternatives cover a building. We cover the service territory.
GPS does not go
UHF at high power goes where L-band from orbit cannot — urban canyons, through roofs, down warehouse aisles and across fabrication floors.
at the tower
Auranet precision time is produced at the transmission site, not relayed — holds accuracy when GNSS is jammed, spoofed, or gone.
at the tower
Cryptographically signed time signal at the transmission site creates trust and the ability to verify the source signal.
nobody owns
The trust root sits outside every participant. That is what opens multi-party markets. The seams between verticals are the prize.
The only network where the time, the position and the data all carry the same cryptographic proof across a wide area, delivered over spectrum we control and operate.
The network
The towers already stand
Infrastructure you can see.
Auranet leverages LPTV spectrum and existing High Tower, High Power (HTHP) infrastructure to deliver a powerful terrestrial network to complement GPS with resilient, trusted and verifiable PNT plus broadband data. We have two existing pilot networks in Silicon Valley and Las Vegas, complemented by 750+ station agreements across the US. Our mission is to build a nationwide network exceeding 1,600 sites, using existing infrastructure.
