Unlocking Precision: Why Timebeat’s Open Time Servers Outshine Traditional Grand Master Clocks



New vs Old
Traditional or Innovation - you decide whats best.


In the realm of time synchronisation solutions, Timebeat stands apart by leveraging Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware and standard Linux operating systems for our Open Time Servers. This approach offers distinct advantages over traditional grandmaster clocks, particularly in sectors requiring precise timekeeping, such as financial trading, defence, and broadcast media.



1. Enhanced Precision with PTP Synchronisation


Timebeat’s Open Time Servers excel in precision timing and are powered by advanced PTP (Precision Time Protocol) synchronisation technology. Unlike traditional grandmaster clocks, which can be expensive and rigid, our solution leverages COTS hardware and Linux OS to achieve nanosecond-level synchronisation accuracy. This precision is crucial for applications where timing is critical, ensuring data integrity and operational efficiency.


2. Seamless Integration with PPS and NTP Clock Sync Software


Our Open Time Servers seamlessly integrate with PPS (Pulse Per Second) and NTP (Network Time Protocol) clock synchronisation software. This compatibility allows businesses to synchronise critical operations across diverse network environments. Whether aligning financial transactions or managing telecom networks, our systems support multiple synchronisation protocols, enhancing reliability and scalability.

3. Cost-Effective Timing Servers


Cost efficiency is a key advantage of Timebeat’s approach. By utilising COTS hardware and standard Linux OS, we minimise upfront investments and ongoing maintenance costs associated with proprietary grandmaster clocks. This affordability makes high-precision time synchronization accessible to organizations of varying sizes and budgets, from large enterprises to emerging IoT deployments.


4. Compliance Assurance with UTC Verification


Timebeat’s commitment to accuracy includes rigorous UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) verification processes. These processes ensure that our Open Time Servers meet stringent industry standards for timekeeping accuracy and reliability. Compliance with UTC standards is essential in sectors like financial trading and broadcast media, where precise timing is mandated for regulatory purposes, such as in MiFID II, FINRA and SMPTE-2059 (SMPTE-2110).



5. Scalability and Adaptability with Mesh-Based PTP Sync Modules


Business environments require scalable solutions that can adapt to evolving needs. Timebeat’s Open Time Servers support mesh-based PTP synchronisation, enabling flexible deployment in diverse operational scenarios. Whether expanding data centre capacities or integrating IoT solutions, our systems provide scalability and future-proofing capabilities.


6. Expert Support and Technological Innovation


Partnering with Timebeat means accessing a team of time synchronisation experts dedicated to optimising your infrastructure. Our solutions incorporate cutting-edge technologies, including network adapters for time sync and precision timing solutions, supported by comprehensive technical expertise and customer support.
