Frequently Asked Question(s)

What's included in a Syncworks network timing assessment?

Our comprehensive assessment evaluates your current timing infrastructure, identifies performance gaps, analyzes GNSS vulnerabilities, reviews compliance requirements, and assesses your network topology. We provide a detailed report with recommendations for optimization, modernization, and risk mitigation strategies

How long does the network design process typically take?

Timeline varies based on network complexity and scope. Simple assessments take 2-4 weeks, while comprehensive custom designs for large networks can take 6-12 weeks. We provide detailed project timelines during our initial consultation and work closely with your team to meet critical deployment deadlines.

Do you design solutions for mixed legacy and modern timing networks?

Absolutely. We specialize in hybrid architectures that integrate legacy TDM/BITS systems with modern PTP/NTP solutions. Our designs ensure seamless migration paths while maintaining operational continuity throughout the transition process.

What standards and compliance requirements do your designs address?

Our designs incorporate all relevant industry standards including ITU-T (G.8275.x series), IEEE 1588, 3GPP timing requirements, IEC 61850 for power utilities, and sector-specific compliance mandates like NERC CIP for utilities and Executive Order 13905 for federal agencies.

Can you design timing solutions that reduce our dependence on GNSS/GPS?

Yes, this is one of our core specialties. We design resilient architectures using ePRTC/vPRTC technologies, enhanced holdover capabilities, and distributed timing that significantly reduce GNSS dependency while maintaining precision and compliance requirements.

Do you provide documentation and training on the designed solution?

Yes, we deliver comprehensive documentation including network diagrams, equipment specifications, installation guidelines, and operational procedures. Training on the designed architecture is available as part of our Syncworks Training services.

What happens if our requirements change during the design process?

We build flexibility into our design process and maintain close communication throughout. Changes are managed through structured change requests with clear documentation of impacts on timeline, cost, and technical requirements.
