powerful time and frequency reference system at the lowest cost of ownership.
Military and commercial applications alike will benefit from its extreme reliability,
security, and flexibility for synchronizing critical operations.
An important advantage of SecureSync is its unique rugged and flexible modular
chassis that can be configured for your specific needs. Built- in time and fre-
quency functions are extended with up to six input/output modules.
You can choose from a variety of configurable option cards, each with an assort-
ment of input/output timing signal types and quantity, including additional 1PPS,
10 MHz, timecode (IRIG, ASCII, HAVE QUICK), other frequencies (5MHz,
2.048 MHz, 1.544 MHz, 1MHz), Precision Timing Protocol (PTP) input/output,
multi-Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T), telecom T1/E1 data rates and multi-
network NTP, allowing SecureSync to be customized for your exact require-
ments.
A variety of internal oscillators is available, depending on your requirements for
holdover capability and phase noise.

SecureSync's Inputs and Outputs

SecureSync provides multiple outputs for use in networked devices and other
synchronized devices. A 10 MHz frequency reference provides a precise, dis-
ciplined signal for control systems and transmitters. A 1-Pulse-Per-Second (1PPS)
output acts as a precise metronome, counting off seconds of System Time in the
selected timescale (such as UTC, TAI or GPS); this BNC connector can also be
configured to produce IRIG, HaveQuick, or GPO signals. A multi-I/O 15 pin con-
nector provides default IRIG, ATC, and HaveQuick Inputs, as well as IRIG, IRIG AM,
HaveQuick, and ATC Outputs. These options can all be configured to suit your
application (see
SecureSync's outputs are driven by its inputs – most notably, Global Navigation
Satellite System (GNSS), or IRIG signal generators and other available input ref-
erences. GNSS-equipped SecureSyncs can track up to 72 GNSS satellites sim-
ultaneously and synchronize to the satellite's atomic clocks. This enables
SecureSync- equipped computer networks to synchronize anywhere on the
planet.
