Most vendors also support an option for satellite-based global positioning system (GPS) receivers" (22). Conclusion

The research showed that Network Time Protocol is a longstanding Internet protocol that is used to ensure the accurate synchronization to the millisecond of computer clock times in a network of computers. The research also showed that in spite of its workhouse history, earlier versions of NTP are no longer adequate and improvements are in the works. While NTP is widely used, some vendors have elected for alternative approaches that accomplish the same thing in a different manner, but even here, NTP was shown to be on the cutting edge by recognizing these constraints and taking steps to address them. In the final analysis, NTP is here to stay for the foreseeable future and further refinements in its functionality can be reasonably be expected to follow industry and user needs.
