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 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. 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)
