Bliley Technologies Inc., an international provider of crystal-based frequency control solutions, and Allan Space-Time Solutions LLC, lead by renowned atomic clock physicist, David W. Allan, have teamed up to form a new, co-owned company, EQUATE Space-Time Technologies LLC.


“We formed EQUATE Space-Time Technologies to develop a first-of-its-kind technology holding outstanding potential to provide precise time and frequency, position, velocity, acceleration, local vertical and orientation in a denied-GPS field environment (including building interiors, underground and in forestation),” said David Allan. “We expect that EQUATE technology will serve as an ideal military navigation tool for individuals, small units, sensor/surveillance platforms, unmanned aerial and undersea vehicles, as well as for avionic and space applications.”

John W. Cline, president and CEO of Bliley Technologies, indicated that Bliley will serve as the headquarters for EQUATE Space-Time Technologies, and will also develop crystal and oscillator-based technologies for the new company. “We are more than pleased to have been selected by David Allan as a partner and are confident that, together, we have established a winning combination between Bliley’s frequency control expertise in the military market and Allan Space-Time Solutions’ world-recognized intellectual capital in the precise timing arena,” said Cline.

EQUATE Space-Time Technologies’ immediate plans include development of a test system to prove the company’s technology concepts.
