About the Satellite Time Server
The Mahan Electronic Parnia Satellite Time Server is a reference time source for computer networks, delivering time with less than one nanosecond error versus UTC through a GPS/GNSS receiver.
It supports NTP v4, SNTP and PTP protocols and includes an internal OCXO backup that maintains accuracy for up to 72 hours during satellite signal loss. Anti-spoofing protection secures your network time.
In enterprise networks, banks and data centers, clock drift between servers can cause transaction errors, security-certificate problems and difficult log analysis. By providing a single Stratum 1 reference, the satellite time server keeps every device precisely synchronized and eliminates these issues.
Installation is simple: mount the GPS antenna with sky view, connect the device to your switch, and configure protocol and addressing via the web interface. Dual gigabit ports allow uplink plus separation of the management network from the service, and for critical environments multiple units can be deployed for redundancy.
Buying guide: when choosing a time server, weigh timing accuracy, supported protocols (NTP/PTP), holdover duration and warranty. With a 36-month warranty and technical support, the Mahan Electronic Parnia model is a professional choice for data centers, telecom, industry and financial institutions.

Frequently asked questions
What is a satellite time server?+
A device that receives precise time from satellites and serves it to a computer network via NTP/PTP.
How accurate is the time?+
Less than one nanosecond versus UTC.
What happens if the GPS signal is lost?+
The internal OCXO backup maintains accuracy for up to 72 hours.
Which protocols are supported?+
NTP v4, SNTP and PTP.
What warranty does it include?+
A 36-month warranty with technical support.
Is it rack-mountable?+
Yes, it uses a standard 1U rack-mount chassis for data-center installation.
Can it serve as a Stratum 1 source?+
Yes, with satellite lock it operates as a Stratum 1 reference clock for your network.
How many clients can it serve?+
It handles thousands of NTP requests per second, suitable for large networks.
Does it support IPv6 and VLANs?+
Yes, dual gigabit interfaces support IPv4/IPv6 and VLAN tagging.
What about redundancy?+
Multiple units can be deployed for failover, and the OCXO holdover covers signal loss.
For precise and secure network time synchronization in data centers, banks and mission-critical networks, the Satellite Time Server with NTP/PTP support and internal backup is a professional choice.
