Open Time Server

The Open Time Server is a turnkey 1U PTP and NTP grandmaster time server: a validated x86 server with an integrated Open Timecard and a pre-configured linuxptp and NTP stack. It speaks NTP, PTP (G.8275.1, G.8275.2, SMPTE ST 2059-2 and default profile) and SyncE from one chassis — no custom firmware, no closed management plane.

Key features

  • Validated reference architecture: GNSS lock, PTP profile defaults, holdover and NIC timestamping tested end to end before delivery
  • Stratum-1 NTP and PTP grandmaster from the same rack unit
  • Intel Xeon processors and commodity server components — open support model
  • OCXO oscillator as standard; Rubidium upgrade for multi-hour holdover under GNSS denial

Configuration tiers
