Flow of Time Generation Atomic Clocks Establishment of Distributed Structure ڦ Measurement system Measurement of Until recently the generation of JST was carried out only at the NICT headquarters in Koganei City, Tokyo. However, at the time of emergency, such as a serious natural disaster, in Tokyo, the operation of JST in headquarters might be Synthesis Average stopped due to infrastructure damage. Computer To increase reliability, therefore, we are promoting research Set the time forward by +9hours to UTC (NICT) and development for decentralization of the JST facilities.

Japan Standard Time (JST) The equipment for JST sub-station, including cesium atomic clocks and high precision satellite time and frequency transfer TAI (International Atomic Time) systems, were installed there.
