Modular Timing Solution Overview – TFD 8000,HPTS, MMC, M210/M211/M212

Product Evolution M210 – 1989 M211- 1994 TFD 8000 – 1995 HPTS – 2006 MMC – 2010 M212

Modular Products Time and Frequency Issues in almost every case The requirement for one or more reference input signals that drive multiple time and frequency outputs and formats. No two requirements are the same (amazing) The desire to say “Yes” every time.

M210

M210 1U Three Slot Unit 5-segment button front panel keyboard for equipment configuration and control Alphanumeric display of time, date and status Equipment configuration stored in non-volatile memory Reference Inputs Include: WWVB/GPS Various Time Codes (IRIG, HQ) Oscillators include TCXO,OCXO, RB, RB/OCXO

M210-M211 OSM’s Many Output Signal Modules (OSM’s) Precision Frequency Time Codes In and Out Analog Clock Drivers NTP/PTP Server Octal Serial Drivers Video annotation AC Measurement Designed to allow new OSM’s as desired

M211

M211 Leverages the M210 Technology 3U Nine Slot Chassis Uses the same modules 3U Nine Slot Chassis Same oscillators available 5-segment button front panel keyboard for equipment configuration and control Alphanumeric display of time, date and status Equipment configuration stored in non-volatile memory

M210-M211 Hundreds of systems sold throughout the World and USA M210 is used extensively in the London underground M211 is used in the NATO Radar System The approved source for Eurocontrol Air Traffic Control system and is used exclusively by NATS the UK National Air Traffic Service. M211 Used in the Bonneville Power Admins west coast monitoring system.

TFD 8000

TFD 8000 A Collaborative Effort between then Gary Smith (then a Sales Rep) and David Wright (a young TFS Sales Manager) for the US Navy Still being sold (issued a new 5 year contract) and now going through a Technology Refresh Incorporating MMC Technology on the Front End Maintaining the Signal Distribution already in place Represents a Key change in architecture 1st Generation Smart Clock Technology (SCT) Internal reference signals travel the backplane of a multi-slot chassis. Each OSM develops the format of the desired output from that internal reference.

High Performance Timing System (HPTS) 2nd Generation Smart Clock Technology (SCT) Developed for Boeing P8 on the military side Now used on another DoD classified aircraft project Used in many Satcom systems US Army (Strategic Systems MET, PTR) Viasat (Commercial) 4U Unit with Dual Master Clocks and Power (capability) SNMP & RS-232 based command and control structure Accepts 1PPS-HQ, GPS, 10 MHz and or Time Code Input References

HPTS 6 OSM Slots (Provides over 90 output connections per unit) NTP Precision Frequency, (10 MHz, 100 MHz) Others as desired Hitless Frequency Failover Pulses Time Codes 1st Generation Universal OSM NTP Flexible design allows new formats as desired

HPTS Very thorough fault monitoring via SNMP or RS-232 Interface Monitors each output signal and reports good/bad once per second Designed for a campus environment Multiple units connected via Fiber to expand precision time and frequency capability into various co located sites with different classifications or purposes

Modular Master Clock (MMC) Leverages the knowledge base gained in all of the previous systems to provide the most intelligent /accurate modular system on the market today 3rd Generation Smart Clock Technology (SCT) 1 U and 2U units Dual master clocks and dual power (AC/DC) 12 OSM slots

MMC Command and Control Hot Swap Modules Touch screen SNMP v3 with encryption PC utility RS-232 Hot Swap Modules OSMs enter through the front Transition cards in the rear allow module swaps without cable disconnection

MMC The MMC has built-in anti-spoofing technology. The Rb oscillators are characterized at the factory so that the Master Clock Modules (MCM) can detect small changes in time and frequency in the reference input. Each reference is continually monitored whether used or not to determine validity 5 different reference inputs allow the user to determine the failover path if references fail GPS (SAASM)/GNSS HQ-1PPS IRIG 10 MHz Crosslink OSM

MMC OSM’s Universal provides most common time codes (analog and digital) PPS, PPM Each output is programmable NTP (dual port) NTP v4 Synthesizer (accurate to 5 x 10e-11) Programmable to 1 Hz (in OSM’s range) E1-T1 Nx8 Low Phase Noise (LPN) 1,5,10 MHz Optical Crosslink

MMC Complete status available from any control method Including units connected via Fiber Histograms of the control loops are available from the utility, and front panel Unit has the ability to record a recurring event for trouble shooting purposes. The customer can record the issue and send the file to the factory for analysis by engineering

MMC Current Wins GPNTS program for the USN (2U) USN LPD (1U) 50 Units USAF (1U) SEWIP NGS MD (2U) Off Shore Patrol USCG NGC VA (2U) Will be used in the TFDS 8000 Upgrade for submarines (2U) Used in the Army’s Precision Time Rack (PTR) in conjunction with MET (2U) (Satcom) Raytheon Jaguar (Airborne)

MET-PTR PTP8080 PTS SAASM MMC HPTS Cesium HPTS Batteries

MMC Futures Under contract with Office of Naval Research and Naval Research Lab for several assured timing upgrades to be used in GPNTS

M212 Leverages the MMC Technology and designs Where the MMC is designed for the most discerning requirements in more difficult environments, the M212 is intended for a broader commercial market at a more competitive price point. More later
