The advent of the internet has been overwhelmingly beneficial to individuals and firms alike. Unfortunately, there’s a darker side that came with such a revolutionary technology: cybercrime. From large firms to individuals, no one seems invulnerable to cyber-attacks. Even government agencies have occasionally fallen victim to hackers, and as we draw closer to a completely…

The NTP time server protocol is one of the oldest and most dependable internet standards. It uses GPS to remain synchronized to the UTC. It then transmits the synchronized time to the networked computers or other synchronized clock systems. The effectiveness of a network time server can be dependent on the strength of its GPS…

Your timekeeping efforts — or lack thereof — can help or break your plans. Like many concepts in the modern world that are striving to make your life better, you can now make your time management even easier with wireless synchronized clocks. Understanding wireless technology Following your needs and preferences, you can opt for wireless…

Did you know that time is relative? Many have tried and failed to impose constructs on time. For example, the Soviet Union attempted to enforce five and six-day weeks from 1929 to 1931. Obviously, they were unsuccessful. Then, after the French Revolution, there was an attempt to institute a ten-hour clock. Let’s all be thankful…

Time management is one of the most difficult tasks that adults struggle to master. With so many things demanding your time, it can be a challenge to keep to a steady schedule. It takes extra organization and planning ahead to stay on task, even when life throws challenges your way. Below are some tips on…

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. Without this synchronization, everyone might be at slightly different times when they punch in or out — this…

When looking for synchronized time server solutions for a business, people everywhere have the same question: “What’s the difference between PTP time and NTP time and which is right for me?” The answer depends on what level of time accuracy your business requires to operate smoothly. But before we get to the difference between NTP…

Did you know that humans have been keeping time for 5,000 to 6,000 years? The ancient Egyptians were the first to tell time by using obelisks as primitive sundials, while the first mechanical clocks were invented in Europe in the 14th century. This shows how important time is to human beings and in the running…

PoE, or Power over Ethernet, is a system approved by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. The system allows a facility to send power and data through a single Ethernet cable. Usually, most facilities send and receive data through two pairs of wires, although CAT 5 cords have four pairs. PoE clocks have come…
