Network Time Servers


Accurate time synchronization is imperative for numerous industries where precise timestamps and coordinated time are indispensable in everyday business operations, this includes industries such as finance, telecommunications, and cybersecurity. A network time server acts as a centralized source of accurate and precise time, disseminating time signals to connected devices, ensuring uniform timekeeping across an entire network.

Network Time Protocol or NTP servers use GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) signals as a reliable source of accurate time. NTP servers can synchronise clocks across a network within microsecond accuracy, this high level of synchronisation will meet most businesses' accurate time specifications. However, if even higher levels of time synchronisation are required, then a Precision Time Protocol or PTP server may be required.

Precision Time Protocol also uses GNSS signals as a time reference but can provide network synchronisation with nanosecond-level or even picosecond-level accuracy. This level of synchronisation is required for faster digital networks such as 5G. PTP servers are able to achieve this level of accuracy as they use hardware instead of software for time stamping, PTP servers also have the ability to detect and mitigate the device and network latency increasing precision.

Investing in a high-quality time server is not just a technical choice; it's a strategic decision to fortify your network infrastructure and streamline operations. Step Global provides a broad range timing of synchronisation solutions from globally recognised suppliers such as Bitstream, Time Tools and Protempis.
