Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GPS, EGNOS, GLONASS, Galileo) are
mainly used for precise time and frequency transfer in the present time.
Our first experiments showed that the precision similar to time transfer
using satellites can be achieved using fully optical network for the
time transfer. The goal of this project is to create a fully optical
path with several DWDM channels between the Laboratory of the National
Time and Frequency Standard in the Institute of Photonics and
Electronics AS CR and CESNET for the research of the optical time and
frequency transfer and to get optical interconnection with other
scientific institutes in order to link their atomic time scales to the
time scale of the Laboratory.
