// Timing infrastructure, United Kingdom

Time your infrastructure can trust — with or without GPS.

C2Net builds cloud-native timing infrastructure for the systems that quietly depend on precise time: energy, finance, telecoms and beyond. When satellite signal is degraded, jammed or simply unavailable, our platform keeps time locked.

// The problem

Most critical infrastructure quietly assumes GPS will always be there.

Power grids, trading systems, telecoms networks and data centres all synchronise against satellite time. That dependency is a single point of failure — vulnerable to jamming, spoofing, and outages that are becoming more common, not less.

// What we build

A timing platform that doesn't need to trust one source.

01 · Multi-source

GNSS-independent

Precision time derived from multiple independent references, not a single satellite constellation.

02 · Deployment

Cloud-native

Delivered as Timing-as-a-Service — built for modern infrastructure, not retrofitted onto legacy hardware.

03 · Assurance

Traceable

Designed around verifiable, auditable time — the standard that critical national infrastructure needs.

// A different kind of vendor

Built like software. Not sold like a defense catalog.

Timing and PNT has traditionally been an industry of sprawling hardware catalogs and integration playbooks built for defense procurement cycles. We think resilient timing deserves the same speed and focus as the infrastructure it protects.

// The old way

  • Hundreds of SKUs to spec, source and integrate yourself
  • Procurement cycles built for defense primes
  • One catalog spanning everything from oscillators to inertial navigation

// The C2Net way

  • One managed platform — we handle the assembly
  • Deployed like modern cloud infrastructure
  • One deliberate focus: resilient timing for UK critical infrastructure

// Where we choose to compete

We're not trying to win the same factors everyone else does.

// Our platform

TEMPEST — multi-source timing, one locked output.

TEMPEST is the platform behind everything above: three independent timing sources cross-checked against each other, distributed as a managed service and anchored to UTC — the UK's traceable national time standard.

Currently in active R&D

C2Net is a UK-based, founder-led company building the next generation of resilient timing infrastructure. We're early — and talking to partners, sector specialists, and early design partners now.
