Timescale dissemination using global navigation satellite systems and applications thereof

A system comprising:

• a plurality of server sites configured to:
• run a plurality of server Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) processes, each GNSS process configured to generate a server GNSS output raw-data signal based at least on one or more received first satellite signals;
• generate, at one or more server sites of the plurality of server sites, a precise orbits and clocks signal embedding a timescale signal based on the server GNSS raw-data signals;
• and
• broadcast, from the one or more server sites to at least one client site, the precise orbits and clocks signal via a telecom network;
• and
• at least on client site configured to:
• run a client GNSS process configured to generate a client GNSS output raw-data signal based on a client clock signal and one or more second satellite signals;
• and
• run a client Precise Point Positioning (PPP) process configured to receive the client GNSS output raw-data signal and the precise orbits and clocks signal via the telecom network;
• and to generate a difference signal between the client clock signal and timescale signal.
