Timebeat Precision Timing: Open, Observable, End-to-End
Timebeat builds nanosecond-accurate time synchronization solutions for the world’s most demanding networks — from PCIe time cards and PTP grandmaster clocks to timing software, observability and fully managed Timing-as-a-Service.
Built on open standards like IEEE 1588 (PTP), OCP TimeCard and White Rabbit, Timebeat solutions are trusted by leading global organizations including NASA, Cloudflare, Microsoft, the BBC and Nokia.
Telnet Networks is proud to be Timebeat’s distribution partner for Canada and the United States.
Six Products. One Stack.
Timebeat hardware comes in a variety of form factors with NTP, PTP and White Rabbit capabilities and a variety of oscillator options to enable solutions for all scenarios.
Three Elements. One Platform.
With the Timebeat Agent, Sync Insight and Timing Feed Service as independently deployable products, Timebeat’s platform provides the flexibility and reliability you can build on.
Timebeat + Telnet Networks
As Timebeat’s distribution partner for Canada and the United States, Telnet Networks combines Timebeat’s open timing stack with more than 25 years of precision time expertise. Our sales and engineering team supports you through solution design, proof-of-concept, deployment and ongoing support — and can integrate Timebeat with the network visibility, monitoring and synchronization solutions you already run.
Industry Tailored Solutions
Telecom, ORAN, IoT
Every 5G base station must coordinate to sub-microsecond accuracy or the network degrades — interference, dropped handovers, failed carrier aggregation. Timebeat delivers G.8275.1-compliant grandmaster clocks and fronthaul sync purpose-built for O-RAN, macro and private 5G deployments, without requiring a GNSS antenna at every site.
Financial Services
Trading, settlement and surveillance depend on precise, provable timestamps. Timebeat provides compliant timestamping for SEC CAT, FINRA and global regulations down to the nanosecond — with continuous UTC verification that turns compliance reporting from a project into a byproduct.
Broadcast & Media
IP broadcast lives or dies on timing: ST 2110 splits video, audio and data into streams. Timebeat delivers ST 2059-2 and AES67-compliant PTP grandmasters, from facility appliances to battery-backed portable units puts them back together.
Data Centers & Cloud
Distributed databases, virtualized workloads and East-West traffic all depend on trustworthy time. From PCIe time cards in individual servers to facility-wide PTP distribution and managed timing feeds, Timebeat scales from a single rack to multi-site operations.
Open. Observable. End-to-End
An ecosystem and platform built on open standards like OCP TimeCard, IEEE 1588 and White Rabbit. Ensures your timing infrastructure stays in your control with no vendor lock-in.
Designed with compliance in-mind from the ground up – every Timebeat deployment is verifiable and auditable with no extra steps required.
Every Timebeat product, from appliances, to cards and servers is designed end to end with interoperability as a guiding principle.

White Rabbit Solutions
Timebeat’s White Rabbit Ecosystem delivers sub-nanosecond timing precision by combining the Open Time Source WR (a high-accuracy master clock) and the Open Time Node WR (a compact edge unit). Providing a scalable, end-to-end solution for deterministic time distribution across networks.
Open Time Appliance
Open Time Appliance is the powerful standalone IEEE-1588 PTP & NTP grandmaster clock, featuring multiple oscillator options tailored to meet your infrastructure requirements with the accuracy up to <5ns accuracy. With the capability to integrate with two additional clocks, it creates a resilient clock-quorum system that ensures self-validation of the time reference, eliminates any single point of failure, streamlines automated time synchronisation, and attack-resistant
Open time Server
The Open Time Server is a turn-key IEEE-1588 Grandmaster clock. The Open Time Server features the latest in PNT capabilities with in-built anti-jam and anti-spoof technology. Modular design for upgrading key components to keep up with the changing landscape. 1/10/25/100/200GbE Network options
Open Time Card
Plug & Play IEEE-1588 Grandmaster clock PCIe card and frequency distribution system. Onboard network ports distribute IEEE-1588 PTP, NTP and SyncE and a selection of frequency outputs customisable to suit any use case from 1Hz to 1GHz Integrate the Open Timecard with a PCIe slot or PCIe power adapter for instant resilient PNT capabilities. With in-built anti-spoof and anti-jam technology this is the ultimate low SWoP system for accurate UTC, Precision Time Protocol (PTP) distribution and Frequency.
Open Time Mini
An entire ecosystem of Precision Navigation & Timing (PNT) solutions, both modular and PCIe Form Factor. Tailored for 5G, Broadcast, IoT, Automotive, and industry 4.0, the mini-module ecosystem is at the cutting edge of resilience and value. From IEEE-1588 to GNSS resilience and precise location services, these modules are the powerhouse of the modern technology environment.
White Rabbit Mezzanine
The White Rabbit Mezzanine is an OEM-focused timing module enabling deterministic, phase-aligned timing to be embedded into distributed systems. It can drive up to four SFP cages alongside low-jitter local outputs and host-accessible telemetry.Plugs into host systems via a 30-pin × 4-row GPIO connector with USB-C management.
Software Solutions
A Unified and Flexible end-to-end attested timing platform with 3 distinct and additive components
Timebeat Agent - Intelligent Timing Software
The active synchronization daemon that replaces chrony, ntpd and ptp4l. Deploy it on every host to take control of system clocks and NIC PHCs, with resilient PTP² mesh topologies, virtual grandmaster (VGMC) support for cloud and virtualized environments, and clock ensemble techniques for maximum holdover when GNSS or network sync is unavailable.
Sync Insight — Observability & Compliance
Deep-dive analytics and historical trending for time sync quality across your entire estate. Real-time dashboards, drift alerting before it becomes an outage, and continuous UTC verification that produces auditable proof your clocks were aligned — making regulatory compliance automatic.
Timing Feed Service — Timing-as-a-Service
Enterprise-grade PTP with zero infrastructure investment. Deploy in minutes via global points of presence, scale globally, and rely on a 99.999% uptime SLA — precision time delivered as a managed service to your data center or cloud environment.
