Open Timecard Mini Essential module features an L1/L5 dual-band GNSS receiver for precise clock synchronisation. Design within the Raspberry Pi CM4 and CM5 form factor, it’s ideal for homes and labs, supporting IEEE 1588 (PTP) for reliable synchronisation in networks and NTP network setups.
Why Essential Module?
-
30ns Timing accuracy
Designed for applications where moderate precision is sufficient, supporting industrial automation, smart grids, and telecommunication networks with cost-effective timing stability.
-
Concurrent reception of multiple constellation
Simultaneously processing signals across multiple bands, enhances positioning resilience, minimizes signal outages, and ensures consistent accuracy in challenging environments.
-
Best GNSS signal selection
Dynamically prioritizes the strongest and least distorted L1/L5 signals, optimizing performance in urban, obstructed, or high-interference scenarios without manual intervention.
