TimeTools T300 is a GPS referenced hardware NTP server that can be used to accurately synchronize the clocks of networked computers.
The NTP device receives time stamps from the Global Positioning System (GPS) to precisely synchronize its internal real time clock. Client computers can then utilize the Network Time Protocol (NTP) over Ethernet to synchronize their system clocks to the correct time. When locked to GPS, the T300 can synchronize to within a few microseconds of UTC. Network time clients clocks can then be synchronized to within a millisecond of the NTP server.
The T300 can serve as a time reference for up to 100,000 client computers. Any networked appliance with NTP or SNTP client software can utilize the time reference. Most operating systems, routers, switches, phone systems and CCTV systems have NTP or SNTP protocols built-in.
