Abstract
A two-way satellite time and frequency transfer (TW-STFT) network in the Pa cific Rim region is under construction to contribute to the calculation of the international atomic time (TAI), Four major time and frequency institut es in this region have been conducting long-term TWSTFT experiments, In add ition to these institutes, several others in the region are planning to joi n the network. A new type of time transfer modem for TWSTFT is also describ ed.
