Synchronized clock systems are systems that allow you to put a network of computers all on the same time. This can be done using PoE clocks, WiFi clocks, or GPS clocks. They are all known as Network Time Protocol (NTP) clocks because they use the NTP networking protocol to synchronize computer systems. How Do Synchronized…

  A lack of synchronized clock systems can cause problems within a streamlined office environment. Coordinating important events or having employees clock out at a specific time requires synchronized time across an entire network for peak efficiency.
