Ptarmigan Clockworks is building the first mass-manufacturable optical atomic clock for next-generation telecommunications networks. 6G will require a precision clock at every network node, but today's optical clocks are handbuilt, cost hundreds of thousands of dollars each, and are produced in single digits per year. Our patented clock architecture, developed over five years at NIST, was designed from the ground up for volume manufacturing. Founded by atomic clock researchers from NIST and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Ptarmigan is headquartered in Boulder, Colorado.
