Reliable & precise time fan-out solution for White Rabbit (basis for the new IEEE-1588-2019 High Accuracy Default profile) distribution on 1G…
White Rabbit Solutions
White Rabbit provides sub-nanosecond synchronization accuracy, which formerly required dedicated hard-wired timing systems, with the flexibility and modularity of real-time Ethernet networks.
What is White Rabbit?
White Rabbit is a collaborative APNT project including CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research), GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research and other partners from universities and industry to develop a fully deterministic Ethernet-based network for general purpose data transfer and sub-nanosecond accuracy time transfer.
It provides sub-nanosecond synchronization accuracy, which formerly required dedicated hard-wired timing systems, with the flexibility and modularity of real-time Ethernet networks (Synchronous Ethernet). A White Rabbit network may be used solely to provide timing and synchronization to a distributed electronic system, or to provide both timing and real-time data transfer.
Key Features
Reduces errors in time transfer with high accuracy phase and frequency time transfer |
Scalable to long distances |
Automatically calibrated links remove any potential offsets from variance between forward and reverse delays |
Easy to integrate into existing network infrastructure |
Utilizes standard Ethernet and extensions to PTP |
Can operate over spare fiber next to existing network links |
Can be multiplexed with data links using WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) |
