Tekron releases the TCG 02-E - A new IEEE 1588 (PTP) GPS clock

Feb. 24, 2010 - PRLog -- Tekron International, a leading developer of precision timing products, today released the TCG 02-E, the latest of Tekron’s clocks to include IEEE 1588 (PTP) v2 functionality.  PTP is the new high precision time synchronization protocol for networked measurement and control systems.  

IEEE 1588 PTP v2 offers significant advances over current time protocols, including removing the need for dedicated wiring, providing a higher level of redundancy and giving increased accuracy. As the TCG 02-E also supports current time protocols such as IRIG-B and NTP, it is the ideal bridge timing product for organisations migrating towards IEEE 1588 PTP v2.

“The TCG 02-E is the second IEEE 1588 PTP v2 clock that we have released” said Brian Smellie, Tekron’s Director of Technology. “We are also shortly releasing other IEEE 1588 PTP v2 clocks. In the upcoming months all our clocks will be capable of outputting IEEE 1588 PTP v2. Our PTP implementation already includes support for the newly emerging Power profile, and we will continue to add functionality to the products as further PTP profiles become standardised.  I am delighted that our product range is beginning to reflect our industry -leading position in the realm of IEEE 1588 PTP v2” Brian commented.

The TCG 02-E:
•   Supports over 300 Delay Requests per second  (either E2E or P2P)
•   Includes 9 timing outputs
•   Offers isolated single or dual power supplies
•   Has independently isolated outputs
•   Can operate as a Grand Master, Master or Slave clock
