Secure Timing for Power Utilities
White Rabbit (WR) is an ultra accurate time transfer protocol that achieves sub-nanosecond accuracy over optical networks. It can synchronize substations and network equipment with extreme precision. Because White Rabbit can distribute the timing signal using a dedicated optical fiber link, it can eliminate the need for GPS antennas at each substation.
White Rabbit Provides Protection from GPS Interference
- Reduce the risk of outages due to lightning strikes and GNSS interference.
- Improve time and frequency signal accuracy.
- With White Rabbit technology, your substations and network equipment will be protected from GPS disruption.
- No replacement of legacy hardware required.
- Reduce the number of GNSS antennas and failure points.
Key Advantages
- No replacement of legacy hardware required.
- Adding White Rabbit switches to current timing infrastructure keeps cost low.
- Deterministic timing delivery guarantees timing performance and service with no impact from network traffic.
- Fewer antennas means reduced risk due to GNSS interference.
- No antennas at substations means no risk of outage due to lightning strikes, antenna aging or other environmental impacts.
- Fewer GPS references in the network mean fewer points of failure/risk.
- Simplified timing architecture means easier identification of faults/troubleshooting and increases reliability.
