 The detection of extensive air showers uses detectors distributed over large areas. %<<<

+Solutions for precise timing ($< 0.1\ns$) over large distances exist.
+Initially developed for fibre-optic setups, White~Rabbit~\cite{Serrano:2009wrp} is also being investigated to be used as a direct wireless time dissemination system~\cite{Gilligan:WR-over-mm-wave}.

 However, the combination of large distances and the number of detectors make it prohibitively expensive to realise such a setup for \gls{UHECR} detection.
 For this reason, the time synchronisation of these autonomous stations is typically performed with a \gls{GNSS} clock in each station.

 First, if the timescale of the beacon is much longer than the estimated accuracy of another timing mechanism (such as a \gls{GNSS}),
  one can be confident to have the correct period.
-In \gls{AERA} for example, multiple sine waves were used amounting to a total beacon period of $\sim 1 \us$\cite[Figure~2]{PierreAuger:2015aqe}.
