Why Every Data Center Needs a Satellite Time Server

Time is a parameter often ignored until something goes wrong. In large networks, if server clocks are not synchronized, transaction records, security logs and audit trails can be corrupted. A satellite time server receives time directly from GPS/GNSS satellites, providing a reference source accurate to sub-nanosecond, and delivers it to all network devices via NTP and PTP. Why is this critical for banks and data centers? Many security and financial standards require precise event timestamps. An error of a few milliseconds can scramble the order of transactions. Another benefit is the internal OCXO backup, which maintains accuracy for up to 72 hours during signal loss, and anti-spoofing protection that secures the time source. If you run a mission-critical network, investing in a reliable time server prevents costly problems. Our experts are ready to help.
