Time stamping and client synchronization are vital for any network. While you can synchronize with public network clocks, they come with the risk of compromising the security of your business network. Luckily, GPS time servers can synchronize with a GPS time source to provide precise time intervals to a nanosecond’s accuracy. The 31 satellites of…

Precision time protocol (PTP) is used to synchronize clocks within a computer network. The original standard, IEEE 1588, was defined in 2002. Under IEEE 1588, PTP time servers can be implemented through hardware or software. Specifically, the master-slave relationship used for synchronized clocks in a PTP network can be established by software running on a…

Network time servers have gone through various stages of development in the last three decades. The most widely used protocol, NTP, is also the longest, continuously-running application on the internet. Today, time servers have many important functions for businesses and organizations Here is an outline of how the time server developed from its early days…

Did you know? The economy in the United States loses an estimated $7.4 billion per day (that’s right: billion, with a B), due to improperly filled-out timesheets. As you can see, the evidence for using reliable GPS clock servers to maintain synchronized time is obvious. While unknown to the average worker, synchronized time and clock…

Humans have been keeping time for over 5,000 years. In ancient Egypt, time was kept by using obelisks as primitive sundials. Thousands of years later in the 14th century, the first mechanical clocks were invented in Europe. Keeping time is still as important as ever, especially in the business world. Network time servers are now…

U.S. commuters lose 42 hours in traffic annually totaling to a $1,400 cost in gas. One of the biggest culprits behind this loss is the lack of time synchronization. Losses are, without a doubt, bad for any business especially in today’s economy. There was a time when coordination across various departments seemed impossible. Having everybody…

Planck time is the world’s smallest unit of time. Also, the world’s smallest length is known as Planck length. The time light takes to cover a single Planck length equals one Planck time. With that said, poor time management could mean lowered efficiency. Being a manufacturer can at times seem challenging. You’ve to deal with…

It’s no secret that synchronized clocks are critical in keeping your business on track. Mismatched clocks throughout a facility can cause meetings to start late, employees to miss deadlines, and even problems in your human resources department due to employees making mistakes on their time cards. If you have looked into installing synchronized time into…

Did you know that the U.S. economy loses an estimated $7.4 billion per day due to improperly filled out timesheets? This costly mistake can cause stress in your human resources department, and cause your employees to receive their paychecks late. Thankfully, implementing synchronized time in your faculties or business can prevent this from happening. Check…

The Network Time Protocol is one of the oldest internet protocols dating back to 1985. It is used to synchronize the time on a network of machines. The NTP applies to both the protocol and the client-server programs running on computers. At the core of a device time service is the clock system. The system…
