Time servers
A highly accurate and secure time distribution for all your equipment
A time server is a device capable of synchronising different types of equipment on a network (IT systems, clocks, PLC...) based on a time reference, so that all peripheral devices display the same time (the international time reference)
Importance of time accuracy in a computer network
Time accuracy is of paramount importance in the rail transport, airports, defence, industry, healthcare, administrations and all sectors where network operations are particularly affected by time synchronisation.
Time accuracy is essential : in the rail transport ensuring train punctuality, in airports coordinating departures and arrivals with an ultra-reliable level of accuracy, or in military operations requiring perfect synchronisation for all missions.
The same applies to the industry sector where each production step must be carefully synchronised for ensuring the efficiency and quality of final products, as well as to the healthcare sector, where the coordination of medical interventions and treatments often rely on clock accurate synchronisation. Even in public administrations, schedule management directly affects the productivity and the quality of services provided.
In all fields where network operations are sensitive to the slightest time drift, time accuracy is of paramount importance to ensure the proper functioning of processes and the security of all operations.
What is the purpose of a time server stratum for time synchronisation?
Our time servers operate at an unequalled level of accuracy. Stratum 1 time servers are at the top of the hierarchy in terms of time synchronisation. Their time information source is direct and infallible, since it comes from atomic clocks, featuring absolute accuracy. This level of accuracy is essential in several contexts where the slightest time drift can have disastrous consequences.
These servers have been designed to meet a diverse range of needs. Their modularity makes them suitable for different configurations, with their multiple inputs and outputs to ensure smooth connectivity with other systems. Besides, they offer flexibility in terms of internal oscillators, since they can be equipped with several of them, up to Rubidium, thus guaranteeing high and constant level of performance.
This capacity to adapt and maintain a high-level synchronisation makes our time servers essential tools in several sectors where time accuracy is a fundamental requirement.

Efficient, reliable time servers for ensuring safety
Gorgy Time is the forerunner and leading French manufacturer of civil and military time servers, for environments where safety is not an option.
Our LEDI® Network range meets the most demanding civil and military needs in terms of extreme reliability, security, redundancy and flexibility. This is a modular and scalable range of time servers, configured via a web interface without requiring any software installation, to ensure easy and ultra-reliable commissioning and use.
- AccuracyImage
Most of Internet-based time servers have not the level of accuracy required to be used for synchronisation: our systems feature an accuracy from a hundred of milliseconds down to tens of nanoseconds.
- SecurityImage
Our products use fine corrections in order not to trigger security alerts in the case of loss of reference of the time information. The administrator is notified if a significant offset is detected.
- Continuity of serviceImage
Our time centres and time servers operate redundantly, 24h a day with the hot plug principle. The different racks can be changed while operating without requiring the whole installation to stop.

Q&A
What is NTP?
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol used for synchronising accurately via a computer network, the local clock of computers based on a time reference. It guarantees reliable, accurate synchronisation and timestamping of all IP equipment connected to the network.
What is PTP?
The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a network protocol used for synchronising accurately a client (PTP slave) with a server (PTP Grandmaster). Its level of accuracy is down to the microsecond. The PTP protocol has a greater level of accuracy than the NTP protocol. It is strongly recommended for transportation, defence, industry and telecommunication applications.
Why is it necessary to have your own time server rather than using a server available on the Internet?
A time server will synchronise your equipment with the computer network in an accurate, reliable and secure way. It will not be necessary to rely on an Internet connection which may be interrupted at any time. Besides, a time server will be more accurate, provide event timestamping, equipment monitoring and ensure greater security for your facility.
Why choosing a Gorgy Time time server?
Gorgy Time offers a wide range of time servers featuring different levels of accuracy. Different synchronisation inputs and many outputs are available depending on the model. Our time servers are modular through the use of option cards according to your needs. They are scalable: you can add option cards at any time. They can be configured easily from an intuitive web interface for a guaranteed level of security. As a result, it is not required to buy nor install additional software.
