Secure management, logging, and role‑based access
Designed for long lifecycle support and field serviceability

Specific in‑use scenarios

IP Broadcast Plant migration to ST 2110

Deploy dual Meinberg grandmasters feeding PTP boundary clocks across the production network. Ensure audio, video, and control are phase‑aligned for production switchers, intercom, and multiviewers. Monitor accuracy and asymmetry with TrackHound for proactive fault detection.

Defence Test Range and Labs

Use rubidium‑stabilised grandmasters to timestamp high‑speed telemetry and sensor fusion. Distribute 10 MHz, 1PPS and PTP to instruments and recorders, ensuring correlation across sites and mobile platforms.

Substation Timing Upgrade in Energy

Replace ageing IRIG distribution with GNSS‑disciplined LANTIME grandmasters providing PTP to IEDs and PMUs. Use redundant references and holdover to maintain µs‑level accuracy during GNSS outages. Centralise alarms to SOC/NOC systems.

Finance Trading and Market Infrastructure

Deploy dual grandmasters in primary and DR colos with PTP to matching engines and low‑latency gateways, and high‑integrity NTP to analytics and back‑office.
Use rubidium/OCXO holdover and multi‑GNSS for assured timestamping during reference loss; enforce profile policies and monitor offsets/jitter with TrackHound for compliance reporting.
Integrate syslog/SIEM export for audit trails of time source changes, leap second handling, and stratum events to support regulatory evidence.

Mining Operations and Remote Sites

Provide site‑wide PTP from a ruggedised grandmaster to OT networks for autonomous haulage, collision avoidance, and RTLS beacons across pits and plants.
Engineer multi‑source time (GNSS + PTP + trusted NTP) with long holdover to withstand GNSS outages and environmental extremes; distribute 10 MHz/1PPS to plant PLCs and test gear.
Centralise supervision with TrackHound from the control centre to visualise domain health, asymmetry, and endpoint offsets across multiple mines and camps.
PTP grandmasters with telecom profiles for RAN and core, boundary clocks in aggregation, and observability via TrackHound. Automate failover between GNSS, PTP, and trusted NTP with policy enforcement.

University Research Observatory and Telescope Array

Deploy LANTIME grandmasters with multi-GNSS at each telescope site for sub-microsecond synchronization across distributed array. Distribute PTP to data acquisition systems and correlators for precise time stamping of observations. Use rubidium holdover for continuity during GNSS outages. Monitor timing health with TrackHound across campus research network. Integrate with scientific computing clusters for real-time data processing and correlation.
