The Second generation of the Timecard mini ecosystem brings precision timing, precision location and the essentials.
Tailored for industries such as 5G, Broadcast, IoT, Automotive and more these low cost high performance systems will change how you deploy your PNT system ensuring the highest level of resilience.

Why Open Timecard Mini 2.0?


  • Innovative Sandwich boards

    From high-precision timing for PTP/NTP Grandmaster clock solutions, to high-precision location services for Industrial IoT and Automotive. The new mini 2.0 range has what you need.

  • Save space

    The CM4 PCIe base board makes it easy to integrate your CM4 into existing devices such as PCs or servers, saving space and simplifying your workspace.

  • Full feature

    The base board takes complete advantage of all the CM4 IO board features with the 40Pin GPIO available, 2 USB-C ports, microHDMI port eMMC boot port and a USB-A port.

  • CM5 Compatible

    The Open Timecard Mini is now also compatible with the latest Raspberry Pi CM5 via 200 Pin connector available, providing the significant boost over its predecessor with 2-3 times faster processing speeds.
