Master Clock System
Master Clock System
A master clock is an electronic device that provides time synchronization signals to a number of slave clocks on a network. Typically, the master time clock maintains accurate time from a hardware clock source, such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, or other sources of precise time.
Benefits :
- Master clocks are in use to record 9-1-1 events to improve response times and to settle legal disputes.
- Digital broadcast systems rely on master clocks to ensure the reliability of wireless transmissions by aligning frequency and time.
- The precision of military C4ISR platforms (radar, Satcom, simulation, electronic warfare) requires accurate timing.
- Telemetry and flight test systems can only correlate sensor and other data if time is precisely synchronized over the entire system.
- Commercial enterprises leverage NTP Servers for records accuracy, troubleshooting, and security, and to enable time-sensitive applications to extremely high levels of accuracy.
