Syncworks Harnesses the Power of Precision Timing and Synchronization
In our modern, interconnected digital landscape, the significance of timing and synchronization cannot be overstated. The accuracy and precision of timekeeping play a pivotal role in a wide array of critical infrastructures. These include data centers, wired and wireless communication networks, financial exchanges, industrial systems, and the ever-evolving smart power grid.
At our core, and as a Microchip Diamond Partner, we specialize in delivering comprehensive clock and timing system solutions that cater to a broad spectrum of needs. Our offerings span from compact plug-in timing server cards to extensive multi-rack national time scale systems. Our ultimate mission is to provide timing systems that are not only remarkably accurate but also imbued with robust security measures, ensuring their resilience in supporting a diverse range of applications and vital infrastructures.
GPS-Based Timing Solutions for Unmatched Precision
Sync and timing for GPS begins with a quality signal from antenna to ingress to timing equipment. As part of our turnkey solution for network timing, our Field Services includes GPS antenna installation. Resilient and professional GPS install is a key component to your network. With Syncworks’ dedicated technicians well-versed in installs for all types of building access, grounding needs, ingress points, and weather conditions, your GPS antenna will be installed to the highest standards.
When a clock goes in holdover due to a failed GPS signal, the cause can be range from a failed ground, a delamination of a printed board, a loose connection, a failed antenna head, or interference from a natural source. Correct antenna positioning is vital to timing reliability.
A GPS antenna requires a 360° visibility of the horizon. Roof mounted antenna enable for more accurate GPS clocks since at least three satellites are required to be in view at all times to maintain timing accuracy (typically nanoseconds to UTC). Our antenna designs include this key component. Our technicians ensure the optimal location for all elements of the antenna installation.
The Role of IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) in Modern Networks
However, achieving such high levels of precision timing is a formidable technological challenge. That’s why it’s crucial to find a trusted resource. Our end-to-end timing solutions are designed to generate, distribute, and apply precise timing across multiple industries. These include communications, aerospace/defense, IT infrastructure, financial services, industrial sectors, and more. Our clientele ranges from communications service providers and network equipment manufacturers to governments and their global suppliers.
Our comprehensive portfolio of timing and synchronization options:
1. GPS-Based Timing: Leveraging Microsemi’s cutting-edge timing technologies and solutions, we enable our customers to build more reliable networks and systems that meet today’s precise timing standards.
2. IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP): This protocol is designed to deliver highly accurate timing information, essential for various industries.
3. Network Time Protocol (NTP): NTP ensures synchronization across networks and systems, facilitating seamless communication.
4. Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE): For maintaining synchronization in Ethernet networks, especially crucial in data-heavy operations.
5. Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) Timing: A critical element for cable operators to ensure precise timing for their services.
In our increasingly digital and interconnected world, timing and synchronization are essential components. Precise and accurate timing underpins the functionality of data centers, wired and wireless communications, financial exchanges, industrial networks, smart power grids, and virtually all other secure communication infrastructures.
We offer a range of clock and timing system solutions, from compact plug-in timing server cards to multi-rack national time scale systems. Our ultimate goal is to provide the most accurate, secure, and resilient timing systems possible to support diverse applications and critical infrastructures.
