If not, you may have issues and not know it. • Improper antenna installations • Damaged antennas causing interference • Environmental conditions • Intentional and unintentional sabotage such as jamming and spoofing GPS antenna farms are created from multiple point solution implementations. Some of the issues that can impact your timing reference:

- 17. 17Confidential © Copyright 2013 Summary • Using PTP for time distribution in substations is most accurate with lowest TCO • GPS vulnerability is real and needs to be mitigated • Point solutions will not scale and will become impossible to manage • Don’t limit your options. Have a strategy to transition from a traditional substation to a smart substation. • Time sync will continue to increase in importance. Quality and expertise matter.
