Time server

Smart SFP Time Server provides accurate phase and frequency synchronization using PTP and NTP at the network edge and aggregation sites. SFP form factor and rich feature set enable a wide range of deployment options for network synchronization.

From mobile networks and power utilities to time-critical applications, Smart SFP Time server enables precise synchronization in the most space-restrictive environments and provide a simple way to upgrade legacy systems with Precision Time Protocol.

Smart SFP Time Server compatible with network equipment of any vendor.
