Antenna-integrated PTP Grandmaster Clock
The OTMC 100p antenna-integrated PTP Grandmaster Clock provides a quick and easy solution to time synchronize intelligent electronic devices, computers and measurement equipment connected via Ethernet.
The OTMC 100p allows to utilize the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and the Network Time Protocol (NTPv4) in parallel. Due to the unique design of the OTMC 100p, no antenna cable delay compensation is needed.
System Architecture
The OTMC 100p’s unique design, which combines the GNSS Antenna, the GNSS Receiver and the Grandmaster Clock in one compact weatherproof housing, directly connects to the network without the need of any coaxial RF cabling. Since all time reference functionalities are combined in the outdoor mounted device, no additional in-house rack space is needed.
Due to its active GNSS Antenna and the super-sensitive 12-channel GNSS receiver the OTMC clocks provide reliable time synchronization data even under difficult reception conditions. The integrated PTP Grandmaster Clock runs a fully embedded PTP protocol stack – after setting up the clock via its platform independent web interface, it is ready to synchronize all PTP capable devices in the network.
The extremely low power consumption of the OTMC 100p, which is powered over Ethernet (PoE), significantly reduces the cost of ownership compared to a standard rack-mounted device.
