White Rabbit Solutions

Sub-Nanosecond Synchronization

Safran technology ensures deterministic Ethernet performance across large networks, making it ideal for applications, such as FinTech and Data Centers, that require real-time data transfer. With Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM), our solutions provide scalability and efficiency in synchronization.

Industry

What is the White Rabbit Project?

White Rabbit Project 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). Safran’s White Rabbit Solutions are engineered to integrate seamlessly with modern Synchronous Ethernet and PTP infrastructures, offering precision time transfer and robust scalability for complex network environments, ensuring reliable performance in demanding time-sensitive networks.

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)
