Spectracom’s core expertise is based on delivering accurate, secure and easy-to-integrate precision time and frequency sources to where it is needed. Often times, it starts by distributing the precision timing signal from the GPS system, but the right solution for your application is dependant on the distribution of accurate time. We are well versed in a variety of timing protocols including protocol for network timing (such as NTP and SNTP), time codes based on the Inter-Range Instrumentation Group (IRIG) standards, and ASCII time codes using serial communication standards. Products include secure network time servers, master clocks, and synchronized clocks & time display products.
We also understand how to distribute precise frequency and clocking signals throughout a network. Our GPS time and frequency products offer an industry-standard 10 MHz signal to control and calibrate devices. For other frequencies including other signal types such as for clock and timing signals for a variety of communications systems, we offer options and devices such as distribution amplifiers, redundancy products, and clock converters, and extractors.
