5.2.7.1 STL Option Module [1204-3E]
SatellesSatellite Time and Location (STL) signal is broadcast on Iridium satellites and
offers a spoofing-resilient encrypted signal that is 1000x stronger than GNSS-based timing
signals. Hence, it is difficult to jam, and it can be received indoors.
STL is a subscription-based service. Please contact Spectracom for details.
A SecureSync equipped with the STL 1204-3E option card can be operated with or
without GPS, depending on your application, i.e. STL can be utilized as a backup, or as the
only external timing source.
Note: Devices are shipped with the STL subscription deactivated. It is
necessary to contact customer service to activate the subscription: stlsub-

tions in the user manual.
Note: The -3E card can be installed in any free card slot.

preferable over a lower location. Do not cover the antenna with electronic equip-
ment or other metal objects.
