Product Overview

NTP Network Time Server for high reliability applications

The Protempis Thunderbolt® NTP TS200 Time Server is designed for demanding applications that require high accuracy NTP time stamping. The TS200 supports synchronization of thousands of workstations, routers, switches and other network elements for logging and security forensics. VOIP IPBX systems also require very accurate NTP
timestamps to ensure CDR events are correctly registered and reported.
The Thunderbolt NTP TS200 supports multiple constellations GNSS, which enables tracking of GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO and Beidou satellites enhancing redundancy and satellite availability.

It provides NTP time and PPS outputs. Thunderbolt® NTP TS200 can furthermore use its built-in, disciplined OCXO (oven controlled crystal oscillator) as autonomous time base for providing several hours of accurate holdover in case that GNSS signals are not available.
Hardware redundancy can be achieved by using two Thunderbolt® NTP Time Servers.
Thunderbolt® NTP comes in a rack-mountable enclosure; two Thunderbolt® NTP units fit side-by-side in a 1U height 19” rack.

Industrial applications
Automation systems and industrial environments that use SCADA or other network monitoring, measurement and control systems require high precision NTP reference to ensure reliable and accurate operations.
The NTP TS200 is optimized to deliver extremely stable and accurate time of day (TOD) synchronization for a variety of time sensitive applications such as datacenters, SCADA systems and PMU synchronization.

Ideal for demanding environments
The Thunderbolt NTP TS200 leverages Protempis’s decades of experience in GNSS systems with millions of timing devices integrated into telecommunications, digital broadcasting, computer networks and other industrial applications.
The NTP TS200 Time Server offers extended operating temperature ranges to ensure suitability for use in demanding environments.
The NTP TS200 supports a large number of clients making it suitable for medium and large scale deployment. The low cost per client of the TS200 helps reduce the total cost of deployment while maintaining superior reliability.

Integration and Installation

The Protempis Thunderbolt NTP TS200 Clock offers AC and DC power options for easy deployment in all types of
network environments.
Matching the NTP TS200 with Protempis rugged antennas such as the Protempis Bullet™ 360 provides reliable reference acquisition in challenging RF signal environments.
Bullet 360 rugged antennas provide multi-GNSS capabilities so that critical applications can obtain high precision
timing signals with the best reliability in the industry.

BENEFITS

  • Extended environmental capabilities allow for installation in difficult industrial environments where other NTP servers cannot be deployed
  • Dual power input provides power redundancy
  • Superior holdover performance via Trimble proprietary algorithm gives extra time error budget for network design and dimensioning.
  • Low cost helps reduce total cost of NTP deployment
  • Small form factor allows for easy installation
  • Side by side capabilities facilitate redundancy implementation
