Open TimeCard — hardware overview

Modular, scalable, resilient PNT. A full-spec PCIe grandmaster in a single card.

5 min read

The Open TimeCard is a full-featured PCIe time synchronisation card that turns any server into a complete grandmaster. With built-in Ethernet switching, multi-band GNSS, an onboard high power compute module running the TimeBeat Agent, and your choice of DOCXO or Rubidium holdover, a single card can distribute nanosecond-accurate time over NTP, PTP, PPS, SyncE and raw frequency — with anti-jam / anti-spoof protection at the GNSS front end.
