Smart grids and navigation
• VTT is one of the best of the world’s 72
timing laboratories maintaining and
disseminating the UTC, from which the
Finnish national time is also derived.
• We have mature offering on standard
NTP and PTP services. PTP-white
rabbit in roll-out phase (2-3 customers
as early adopters). Experimental, early-
stage, ultra-high performance
technologies for science users.
• In order to securely install new high
voltage hardware components to
electricity transmission network,
components need to be tested
according to international standards.
• We have built new test equipment is
built for the specific purpose, and it
enables highly accurate and
repeatable testing in high voltage
laboratories.
