Net.Time

Applications

Power Substations

Smart grid automation requires extremely precise time accuracy and stability for tasks such as peak-hour billing, virtual power generators, or outage management. It is also necessary for the automatic protection of high voltage lines that are permanently supervised, when a substations detects an event, it is timestamped and transmitted to ensure correct operation.

The support of Power profile, PRP and IRIG-B make Net.Time ideal for the new digital substations with support of both, legacy and new interfaces. In substations many resources require accurate synchronization ranging from microseconds to milliseconds.

5G Telecom

5G operators require accurate phase and time alignment on the backhaul of the wireless network in order to maintain frame alignment otherwise users may suffer network outages during handover between nodes.  These next generation networks have very stringent time and phase synchronization requirements which helps improve the experience of users whilst enabling new location based services and IoT applications. Net.Time is deployed at the edges in telecom networks  and generally is configured as a boundary clock to provide a high level of accuracy and protection with signals such as PTP, SyncE, PPS, T1/E1 and MHz.

Air Traffic Control

Time synchronisation is essential within Navigation Systems, especially with Air Traffic control wihere time error could be critical with planes flying at high speed. Legacy signals such as IRIG-B, NTP and TDM are still in use, but are progressively being replaced by PTP time-stamping systems to provide accurate and consistent synchronization. Net.Time equipped with atomic oscillators disciplined through GNSS can provide the required time accuracy for within use within air traffic control centres and airports.

Financial Institutions

Financial services rely on accurate, reliable timing synchronisation for computer systems and applications, both to deliver competitive advantage and fulfil legal requirements. Distributed systems and transactions need to be based on the same time reference with traceability to UTC, and the ability to log time-stamped events in a chronological sequence. Net.Time provides class leading accuracy, delivering financial organisations with performance to deliver operational requirements whilst ensuring legal complicance.
