Product Information
Microchip's SyncServer S600 GPS / GNSS, Stratum 1 network time server with security-hardened NTP Reflector™ technology provides unparalleled accuracy and security for network time services in hardened network operations and is a DISA/DoDIN approved product.
High Security and Capacity
The four standard GbE ports, and optional 10 GbE ports, all combined easily handle more than 10,000 NTP requests per second using hardware time stamping and compensation. All traffic to the S600 CPU is bandwidth-limited for protection against denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.
IEEE 1588 PTP Grandmaster and/or IEEE 1588 PTP Slave
The S600 IEEE 1588 PTP output license enables PTP multi-port/profile grandmaster operations leveraging the built-in hardware timestamping on each LAN port of the S600. In addition, the IEEE 1588 PTP Input option enables PTP to be a timing reference just as GNSS is a timing reference. The PTP Input option when used as a back up to GNSS calibrates the PTP path to and from the PTP Grandmaster to remove fixed asymmetric path delays for a more accurate PTP slave operation.
Multi-GNSS Constellation Support for Enhanced Reliability
Timing integrity, satellite signal continuity, and timing reliability can be improved with the multi-GNSS constellation licence that adds support for Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou, QZSS and SBAS constellations in addition to the standard GPS constellation. With more satellites in view, timing performance can be improved in challenging environments, such as urban canyons. All SyncServer S600 NTP time servers ship with GNSS hardware ready to be enabled with a software license.
Timing and Design Reliability
The 72-channel GNSS receiver combined with Microchip's patented Active Thermal Compensation Technology provides best-inclass time accuracy of <15 ns RMS to UTC. In addition, a durable hardware design subjected to severe shock and vibration testing, and high reliability components that extend the operating temperature range to a very wide -20°C to +65°C. Further, the dual power supply option with SNMP trap enabled monitoring avoids time service interruptions. Upgrade to a high performance oscillator, such as a Rubidium atomic clock, to keep the S600 accurate for a long time in the event of a GNSS service disruption.
Four GbE ports with two Optional 10 GbE ports for Performance, Flexibility and Security
The S600 has four dedicated and isolated GbE Ethernet ports, each equipped with NTP hardware time stamping. Optionally, two additional 10 GbE SFP+ ports can be added for a total of 6 LAN ports. These are connected to a very high-speed microprocessor with microsecond and nanosecond accurate time stamps to assure high-bandwidth NTP performance. This more than meets the need of servicing 10,000 NTP requests per second.
