SecureSync® Time and Frequency Reference System
The SecureSync GNSS / GPS time and frequency reference system harnesses Safran’s leading PNT technology into one flexible, modular platform. Designed to synchronize critical defense and commercial infrastructures that require extreme reliability and security.
The SecureSync 2400 time sync server is built on a highly configurable platform to offer precisely what you need at the lowest cost of ownership. Greater resiliency in the SecureSync grandmaster clock is available through a multi-layered approach that can leverage anti-jam antennas, Safran’s complete Interference Detection and Mitigation (IDM) suite, time error minimization with high performance internal oscillators for holdover and phase noise, and onboard clocks that can sync to many external references.
SecureSync is the key enabler of a highly available time and frequency synchronization distribution architecture. It adapts to demanding infrastructure environments, with extended temperature support (-20°C to +65 °C). Time distribution to legacy systems can be achieved with a range of synchronization signals, while timing protocols (NTP, PTP) are available for synchronizing of recent systems through the networks. Configure to your needs with the ability to extend the number of option cards up to six per unit. And, alternative signals including LEO PNT are available.

SecureSync is the key enabler of a highly available time and frequency synchronization distribution architecture. It adapts to demanding infrastructure environments, with extended temperature support (-20°C to +65 °C). Time distribution to legacy systems can be achieved with a range of synchronization signals, while timing protocols (NTP, PTP) are available for synchronizing of recent systems through the networks. And, alternative signals including LEO PNT are available such as the STL option.
SecureSync offers a broad range of flexible configurations, including a variety of internal oscillators for holdover and phase noise, and onboard clocks that can be synchronized to many external references. The platform can be configured for specific applications, with the ability to extend the number of option cards on the platform (up to six cards can be accommodated per unit).
