NIST sends its standard time and frequency signals to thousands of users throughout the world. NIST's atomic clock system (see Tour Stop 3) provides the reference for its radio broadcast services, satellite time code, and telephone-accessible time signal for setting computers.

These NIST time and frequency signals are widely used throughout the world by scientists, navigators, military, universities, industries, transportation systems, communications systems, and the general public for a multitude of applications requiring precise time and frequency references.
