1. INFRASTRUCTURE SOLUTIONS
Time Servers, Displays and Clock Management Systems

2. 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

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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

6. 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

7. TRANSPORTATION

8. 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

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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

13. 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.

14. 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

15. 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

16. 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.
