Key Features

Ultra-High NTP Throughput

Processes up to 825,000 NTP requests per second with multi-threading support — purpose-built for environments with large numbers of NTP clients.

Flexible Synchronization Input

Available with GPS-only receiver, multi-GNSS receiver (GPS/GLONASS/Galileo/BeiDou), or PTP slave module for synchronization from an upstream grandmaster.

Up to 12 GbE Ports

Standard 4× Gigabit Ethernet RJ45, expandable with additional cards supporting 1G/10G/25G SFP28 or 40G QSFP+ interfaces.

Redundant Power Supply

Dual hot-pluggable 400W PSUs, 100–240V AC. No single point of power failure.

Enterprise Management

Full SNMP v1/v2c/v3 support with dedicated SNMP daemon, syslog, email alerts, and comprehensive REST API for network automation.

Secure Operating System

Runs on Meinberg LANTIME OS — a custom, slim Linux-based OS hardened for time server deployments with SSH, HTTPS, and certificate management.

1U Rackmount Chassis

Compact 19-inch rackmount form factor with front-panel LCD display and push-button controls for basic network configuration.

IPv4 / IPv6 Dual Stack

Full support for IPv4 and IPv6 with DHCP, DHCPv6, and stateless autoconfiguration.

NTP Authentication

MD5 and SHA-1 authentication with Autokey key management. NTP v2/v3/v4 and SNTP v3/v4 compliant.
