Military and commercial applications alike will benefit from its extreme reliability, security, and flexibility for synchronizing critical operations.
An important advantage of SecureSync is its unique rugged chassis designed to meet Mil 810F for environmental performance. The modular design provides for the most cost effective solution. Built-in time and frequency functions are extended with up to 6 input/output modules. Included with the base unit is an extremely accurate 1PPS timing signal aligned to a 10 MHz frequency signal without any 10 MHz phase discontinuity. A variety of internal oscillators are available depending on your requirement for holdover and phase noise. On-board clocks synchronize to a variety of external references as standard, factory-installed, or upgradeable options. Choose from a variety of option cards to add to your configuration of timing signals, including additional 1PPS, 10MHz, time code (IRIG, ASCII, HaveQuick), other frequencies (5 MHz, 2.048 MHz, 1.544 MHz), telecom T1/E1 data rates, multi-network NTP, and PTP. Modules can be customized for your exact requirements.
To support network time synchronization, SecureSync supports the latest features of network time protocol (NTP) and precision time protocol (PTP, IEEE-1588v2). An optional multi-port NTP configuration allows for operation across 4 isolated LAN segments. Up to 6 PTP ports can be added to operate in various PTP deployments.
SecureSync is a security-hardened network appliance designed to meet rigorous network security standards and best practices. It ensures accurate timing through multiple references, tamper-proof management, and extensive logging. Robust network protocols are used to allow for easy but secure configuration. Features can be enabled or disabled based on your network policies. Installation is aided by DHCP (IPv4), AUTOCONF (IPv6), and a front-panel keypad and display.

For more information, see SAASM GPS Clock Synchronization application page. Multi-GNSS (GPS/GLONASS) input is available as an option. The unit is powered by AC on an IEC60320 connector. DC as back-up, or primary, is available.
SecureSync High-Speed PTP Grandmaster Clock Configuration
As methods of data transfer evolve, so too does the need for increased speed in information transmission. Precision Time Protocol (PTP), as defined by the IEEE 1588 standard, provides the most advanced method of synchronization over today’s Ethernet networks. To support optimum network time synchronization, Spectracom supports the latest features of Precision Time Protocol Version 2 (PTP v2) in its SecureSync High-Speed PTP Grandmaster Clock system. Up to 6 PTP ports can be added to operate in various PTP deployments, allowing for maximum scalability to handle the expansion of your network infrastructure.
Offering the most advanced combination of network timing accuracy, security, and capability available on the market, the SecureSync High-Speed PTP Grandmaster Clock is the premiere network time and synchronization solution for your mission-critical applications. Equipped with the latest and most innovative 10/100/1000 Base-T Gigabit PTP Option Card on the market, the SecureSync High-Speed PTP Grandmaster Clock boasts industry-leading packet throughput and data processing power. The installment of an optional slave-ready 10/100 Mb PTP Option Card creates a powerful master-slave combination to satisfy even the most rigorous timing requirements. Standard RF and fiber optic interfaces via SFP+ modules provide the ability to select between either of the two media relative to your specific needs, greatly reducing the effects of distance limitations within your system architecture.
The SecureSync High-Speed PTP Grandmaster Clock is designed for high performance / low-latency computing applications in financial, industrial, and defense markets with an enhanced level of timing performance, so that the management of real-time events over wide areas is drastically improved. This rack-mountable and modular precise time reference/source includes options for PTP grandmaster clock, precise 1PPS timing, and IRIG timecode formats capable of delivering accuracy from microseconds to tens of nanoseconds.
To achieve the best performance, use our PTP (Precision Time Protocol utilizing the IEEE-1588v2 standard) to precisely distribute time across a LAN from the SecureSync High-Speed PTP Grandmaster Clock to a TSync-PCIe-PTP timing card in a server or to our TimeKeeper™ LINUX PTP precision software client installed in your application or blade servers. PTP ensures that you will get the best time transfer performance over a managed network.
