Packet Timing Solutions
Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is the standard that guarantees both phase and frequency alignment across the entire packet network. Packet network infrastructure relies on PTP to synchronize timing devices across the network.
​
Essential components of the synchronization architecture are the grandmaster, slave and boundary clocks. A Grandmaster clock provides standard time information to other clocks across the network A slave clock depends on the master clock for its accuracy, whereas a boundary clock can act as either a destination or source of synchronization information.
​
Protempis’s portfolio of products addresses all these needs.
Thunderbolt® PTP Grandmaster Clock GM200
The Protempis Thunderbolt® PTP Grandmaster Clock is designed for the telecom market, for use at the edge of wireless networks requiring phase synchronization. The GM200 provides continuous availability of UTC traceable time for phase synchronization, a must for LTE-Advanced networks and services.
​
The Thunderbolt PTP GM200 employs industry-leading Protempis GNSS performance, and world class holdover technology.
​
The PTP GM200 tolerates harsh environmental conditions, supporting both indoors and outdoors deployments with an extended operating temperature range (-40 to +85 C). The Thunderbolt PTP GM200 supports small cells networks that require phase synchronization. Although it is designed with keeping small cells in mind, it meets Marco base station requirements for synchronization.
​
Due to the Protempis GM200’s small size, low cost, superior accuracy, reliability and flexibility of deployment options, the risk of network re-configuration and load variance on IEEE-1588 signal quality is reduced.
Thunderbolt® NTP Time Server TS200
The Protempis Thunderbolt® NTP TS200 Time Server is designed for demanding applications that require high-accuracy NTP time stamping. It supports synchronization of thousands of workstations, routers, switches and other network elements for logging and security forensics.
​
The Thunderbolt NTP TS200 supports multiple GNSS constellations, utilizing GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and Beidou satellites, thereby enhancing redundancy and satellite availability.
​
The NTP TS200 is optimized to deliver extremely stable and accurate time of day (TOD) synchronization for a variety of time-sensitive applications, such as telecom networks, data centers, factory automation, and SCADA systems.
​
The Thunderbolt NTP TS200 leverages Protempis’s decades of experience in GNSS systems with millions of timing devices integrated into telecommunications, digital broadcasting, computer networks and other industrial applications.
