NTP SERVERS

SECURESYNC 2400
Resilient Time and Frequency
Synchronization Platform

Resilient timing depends on securing the time reference acquisition and timescale keeping in the face of GNSS interference. Government recommendations, like the executive order in the US or the cybersecurity act in the European Union, pave the way for future regulations in this domain.

Overview

The SecureSync product ecosystem offers several solutions to address GNSS threats. With a layered defense approach, each protective layer increases the sophistication required to compromise, minimizing chances for a successful attack. Securesync relies on the proven interference detection suite, allowing jamming and spoofing detection. Threats are mitigated by high-performance internal oscillators, or through strong modularity and choice of input interfaces, building redundancy into the timing system architecture.

High Security:-

Securesync 2400 is designed with security in mind, combining cybersecurity best practices, including VLAN support account/access management, authentication, encryption, security event logs, network features disabling, as well as regular, secured firmware updates to keep pace with the latest vulnerabilities and protocol improvements.

Networking That Scales:-

Securesync 2400 provides strong and scalable networking capability, thanks to higher embedded processing power. Two-gigabit ethernet ports (one RJ45, one SFP) are available on the base unit enabling flexible network synchronization as an NTP server or PTP slave/master, as an NTP stratum 2 server, or as a PTP slave/boundary clock. New generation network option cards (1204- 49 and 4a) provide additional dual and quad gigabit ethernet SFP ports, embedding their processing capability and offering further capabilities as NTP server and future PTP slave/ master. Scaling up network timing distribution or adding timing redundancy in the network becomes easy.

Reliability:-

At the appliance level, SecureSync includes an optional, dual (redundant), hot-swappable power supply combined with AC, 12 VDC, or 24/48 VDC power modules. Modularity enables multiple time reference management as well as redundant time distribution architectures, which is instrumental to system-level reliability. Any failure is identified and reported in real-time, reducing periods of unavailability.

Monitoring:-

SecureSync 2400 embeds local and remote monitoring tools, including detailed event logs, real-time access to health and operation status, timing performance graphs, and alerts. Integration into automated monitoring systems is supported with legacy protocols like SNMP as well as the more recent rest API. Quick, local diagnostics are accelerated thanks to the front panel indicators and oled display.

Modularity:-

For applications that use “physical” timing signals and require multiple interface types, SecureSync 2400 offers unmatched modularity and a choice of more than 40 option cards. The base unit provides configurable input/output timing interfaces (TTL pulse, RS232/ RS485, IRIG AM /DCLS), on top of 10 MHz and 1 pps outputs. If more interfaces are needed, the base unit supports either 2 (2402) or 6 (2406) option card slots, enabling whatever combination of frequency, phase, NMEA, or quick time codes, and network synchronization is needed.
