Network Time Protocol

NTP feature image

The software package called NTP (Network Time Protocol) is an implementation of the network protocol. NTP has been initiated in the 1980’s to achieve a high accuracy time synchronization for computers across the network. The protocol supports an accuracy of time down to nanoseconds depending on the operating system and the network performance.

LANTIME is Meinberg’s family of ready-to-run Network Time Protocol (NTP) server appliances, ideal for synchronizing networks of any size. Choose between several different external references sources such as globally available satellite systems GPS, GLONASS, future planned also Beidou and Galileo, Central European DCF77 and IRIG.

Even if your desired installation location prevents consistent reception of external signals, our highly stable, free running clocks can be deployed to keep your network in sync. Add our NTP synchronized displays to create a fully-featured time and synchronization solution optimized for environments such as control rooms or operation centers.
