The “Cluster Clock,” made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications’ Beyond 5G Promotion Fund, provides very accurate time synchronization. It achieves 0.1-nanosecond accuracy, which is crucial for the fast-paced world of 6G. The Cluster Clock keeps many nodes in sync. This keeps it stable, even with network delays or interruptions. Traditional systems rely on GNSS, which isn’t as reliable.<\/p>
