ALBEDO TELECOM announces the release of a new software for the Net.Time φ, Net.Time Ω and Net.Time τ PTP and NTP grandmasters.

Net.Time Ω is a modular clock suitable for many industriies willing to integrate under the same architecture any combination of timing protocols including PTP, NTP, PRP, ToD, PPS, IRIG-B, DCF77, SyncE, MHz, T1/E1 and ASCII outputs.

The new substation clocks typically run PTP/NTP over PRP but also include all the legacy signal to facilitate the integration of conventional substations and the new IEC 61850 standards by offering a wide variety of reference inputs and outputs.

The frequency holdover or partial holdover function is an example of how frequency references could be used in phase & time synchronization. This Net.Time feature provides nanosecond accuracy for a long time when GNSS or PTP references are lost.

Packet sniffing of live traffic has become a common practice in Power Utilities since the deployment of IEC 61850 in order to analyse protocols such as GOOSE, SV, PTP and NTP
