Elproma NTS 3000 Series, NTP/PTP Network Time Server

Description

Elproma NTS 3000 Series, NTP/PTP Network Time Server is a professional-grade, GPS/GNSS-synchronised NTP and PTP Network Time Server designed to deliver accurate, reliable and secure time synchronisation across enterprise and industrial networks.

The NTS-3000 supports NTP, SNTP and IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP), providing a centralised time reference for network devices, servers, telecommunications systems, industrial automation and critical infrastructure.

Using satellite-based time references from GPS and GLONASS, with optional Galileo and BeiDou support, the NTS-3000 delivers precise UTC time synchronisation without relying on public internet time servers.

Designed for continuous operation, the unit supports dual GNSS receiver inputs, network redundancy and optional high-stability TCXO or OCXO oscillators to maintain accurate timing during temporary satellite signal interruptions.

Its standard 19-inch 1U rackmount design makes it suitable for data centres, enterprise networks, government facilities, utilities and industrial environments.

Elproma NTS 3000 Series, NTP/PTP Network Time Server Key Features

Applications

The Elproma NTS-3000 is suitable for applications requiring reliable network time synchronisation, including:

• Data Centres & IT Networks – Synchronise servers, storage systems, network equipment and event logs.
• Telecommunications – Provide a centralised timing reference for compatible communications infrastructure.
• Industrial Automation – Synchronise industrial controllers, monitoring equipment and automated processes.
• Power & Utilities – Support time synchronisation across utility networks and compatible IEC 61850 environments.
• Government & Defence – Deliver dependable time synchronisation for secure and critical networks.
• Transport & Infrastructure – Synchronise distributed network devices, monitoring systems and operational equipment.
• Security & Surveillance – Maintain consistent timestamps across IP cameras, access control and security management systems.

The Elproma NTS-3000 combines accurate GNSS time references, NTP/PTP protocol support and redundancy options in a compact rackmount platform. By providing a dedicated local network time source, organisations can improve timestamp consistency, reduce dependence on external internet time services and maintain reliable synchronisation across connected infrastructure.
