INFRASTRUCTURE SOLUTIONS Time Servers, Displays and Clock Management Systems

INFRASTRUCTURE SOLUTIONS The provision of timing for Infrastructure applications has always been a key aspect of Brandywine and TFS’ business Typical Applications include Transportation including airports, air traffic control, railways/metros and marine Public Utilities for the provision of water, electricity, oil and gas Communications Networks

INFRASTRUCTURE SOLUTIONS So why is time so important? Event Tagging of Critical Data Creation of a Time Audit Trail Increasing both the efficiency and the security of the system Essential for the efficient transmission of data particularly in telecoms networks

TRANSPORTATION Transportation is a key Infrastructure market. Generally transportation IT solutions are highly multi-vendor with the Master Clock System at its very heart. Typically NTP is the key requirement but increasingly PTP is being used for sub-system synchronisation. Time Display may also form an important part. TFS/BW have solutions for all the requirements Transportation requirements normally require significant amounts of equipment

TRANSPORTATION Typical Airport/ATC subsystems which require time synchronisation include :- Access Control System Flight/Passenger Information Display System Baggage Handling System Closed Circuit TV System Public Address System Telephone/PABX System Local Area Network Building Management System Airport Radar System Air Traffic Management System Voice Recorder System Clock Display System

TRANSPORTATION Typical railway/metro subsystems which require time synchronisation include :- Telecommunication System (Backbone Communication, Wireless, LAN Passenger Information Display System Building Management System Closed Circuit TV System Public Address System Fire Protection & Detection System Security and Access Control System Signaling and Train Control System Automatic Fare Collection System Electrification/Power SCADA Control System Clock Display System

TRANSPORTATION

TRANSPORTATION Typical Airport/Metro/Railway/LRT will generally require :- A Sophisticated Master Clock, normally dual redundant with many different interfaces located at the Operational Control Centre (OCC) or Backup OCC (BOCC) Traditionally these requirements have been fulfilled by the M211 but now with more sophisticated requirements appearing (GNSS, high speed NTP and PTP) the Master Clock is changing to the MMC and M212

TRANSPORTATION Typical Airport/Metro/Railway/LRT will generally require :- Digital and Analogue Slave Clocks for each station and depot. These are generally synchronized using NTP The Slave Clocks generally comprise the most significant cost element of the Master Clock System due to the large numbers of product. Brandywine have re-engineering the Digital Display specifically to address the cost of this product. Similar re-engineering is planned for the Analogue Clock.

TRANSPORTATION Typical Metro/Railway/LRT will generally require :- Sub-Master Clocks at each station providing local timekeeping capability (NTP80plus/NTV-100) Sub-Master clocks can form a significant commercial part of the project with potentially one Sub-Master clock per station or depot. Some metro and railway applications no longer use Sub-Master Clocks preferring to distribute the time centrally.

TRANSPORTATION Typical Airport/Metro/Railway/LRT will generally require :- A Clock Management System (CMS) The Clock Management System forms a key part of the Master Clock System. It allows centralised monitoring, control and configuration of the Master Clock System.

TRANSPORTATION The Clock Management System provides :- Complete monitoring of all elements of the Master Clock System Recording of all system events and availability of total system history Multiple User access via web browser access. Supplied as a pre-installed Server with an annual license ensuring ongoing support of the CMS

PUBLIC UTILITIES Large Systems Integrators typically construct complex control systems for Public Utilities. These System Integrators include ABB, Emerson, Yogokawa, Honeywell, Technip, Samsung Heavy Industries.… These systems have a fundamental requirement for accurate time. Time is primarily required to sync the SCADA Systems. This means :- Every system event is accurately time tagged Every system event can then be analysed chronologically The sequence of every system event can be understood. Systems may include a Master Clock (single/dual redundant) and slave clocks throughout the buildings of the project. Again commercially valuable due to the significant amount of equipment.

PUBLIC UTILITIES Dependent on System Integrator/End Customer design, synchronisation may be by :- NTP PTP DCLS A mixture of the above BW/TFS have products that can address all the time synchronisation requirements of Public Utilities and particularly SMART Grid

PUBLIC UTILITIES Infrastructure opportunities in Public Utilities vary in complexity and scope. They can be relatively simple to highly complex. There are very many opportunities with many System Integrators (both large and small). They all offer opportunities for :- Master Clocks – standalone or distributed Display Products – for Control Rooms and other key sites Clock Management System is becoming increasingly important for monitoring and control of the Master Clock System Time Measurement Products – system validation is very important

INFRASTRUCTURE How to find a Infrastructure opportunity :- There are many internet sources to identify the key projects Maintain contact with key System Integrators such as Bombadier, Alstom, Siemens, Honeywell and also sometimes local system integrators such as IndoSat Brandywine TFS have a very good reputation and excellent products in this marketplace. This ensures that generally a compliant and competitive response can be offered.
