ADD RESILIENCE TO CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
The Open Timecard has over 5 different oscillator options ranging from stable Quartz through to industry-leading rubidium for outstanding holdover.
HIGH ACCURACY TIME DISTRIBUTION
Open Timecard has SyncE and PTP built-in for precise timing signal distribution, simplifying network topologies and timing deployments without complex systems.
SECURITY
The Open Timecard is designed with various industries in mind, from finance to broadcast, government, and defense to telecom. It is modular, allowing you to choose the options and features that best suit your needs.
Why we made it ?
We believe in modular design, open & flexibility
01
It must be a PCIe card
Useful on both a time server and a time client in financial services / mobile operator/broadcast type environments.
It must sync the system clock of a Linux server to nanosecond accuracy with PTM.
It must provide the same practical sync accuracy as White Rabbit does, but without the complexity and cost.
02
It must have "extreme flexibility"
Multiple Programmable frequency inputs and outputs.
It must be FPGA-free. FPGAs are expensive, difficult to maintain and impossible to build an open-source community around.
03
Modular by design
Different GNSS modules:
-
U-blox flagship LEA-F9T (great performance, great value)
04
Different oscillators, different vendors
From OCXO to high-end atomic rubidium and low-swap caesium
It must use a single-board-computer that is deployed in millions of units for the best reliability
It must run the same Timebeat software that works so well everywhere already.
