Defense and commercial industries worldwide need precision timing to support critical network operations. Network accuracy, security, compliance, and best practices all require the resilient time synchronization provided by Safran’s portfolio of NTP time servers, network time servers, NTP appliances, APNT products & solutions. Whenever accuracy, safety, security and reliability are critical, Safran is #1 in the world for resilient timing and synchronization.
Time is critical for transactions across computer networks. Many events on the network need accurate time to initiate and control processes, and complete transactions such as authentication. Accurate time for time stamps and log files is also very important for billing systems, network diagnostics, digital forensics, high-reliability databases and process analysis.
Yet clocks in electronic devices are not designed for accuracy. A typical clock can drift more than one hour in a year. The solution is to employ network time synchronization.
Time synchronization is an important criterion for efficient network operations. A network time synchronization implementation is simple and relies on a network time server as a network master clock. The characteristics of a network time server determine the security, reliability, and accuracy as well as the ease of manageability of the network time application.
The most secure timing available, the SecureSync GNSS / GPS time server is built on a platform of configurable capability components, either by hardware, software or system integration, to offer precisely what you need at the lowest cost of ownership.
Safran fully supports the implementation of PTP (IEEE-1588v2) for applications that require microsecond accuracy on networks and devices.
