Critical Infrastructure
At Safran, we have a proven track record of delivering the right products, solutions and support to the critical infrastructure and test systems of the world’s largest companies. From precision timing and synchronization, to advanced GNSS and PNT simulation, to testing and measurement, Safran is your trusted partner for networks and systems that are too big, or too critical, to fail. With Safran, you’ll meet your project goals with confidence.
Use Cases
Clock Synchronization in Distributed Real-Time Systems
In distributed real-time systems, which are pivotal in applications ranging from telecommunications to critical infrastructure management, clock synchronization is a fundamental necessity.
Timing and Synchronization in Distributed Control Systems (DCS)
In Distributed Control Systems (DCS), precise time synchronization is pivotal for ensuring coordinated operations across multiple control systems and locations.
Timing and Synchronization in Process Control
In the process control industry, precise timing and synchronization are critical for maintaining the efficiency and safety of operations.
