The White Rabbit Technology-based Indian Standard Time (IST) Distribution Demonstration Network was inaugurated in Bengaluru at the Regional Reference Standards Laboratory (RRSL) in Jakkur. The initiative, launched under the vision of "One Nation, One Time," aims to establish a uniform and highly precise time synchronisation system across India. Implemented through the collaboration of the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), ISRO, BSNL, and SEBI, the network uses White Rabbit Technology to achieve sub-nanosecond accuracy. It is expected to strengthen digital infrastructure, financial systems, telecommunications, power grids, and national security while reducing dependence on foreign GPS-based timing sources.
