Stratum1 Time Synchronization
Accurate timekeeping and synchronizations are a foundational step in any industry. Our Stratum1 solutions can keep you covered by providing a comprehensive solution for all your network time needs.

Why Stratum1?
The strata of clocks in a network are determined by the number of hops to an accurate time source. The time source providing the true value of time is considered Stratum0. These devices are often high-precision timekeeping devices like GNSS and atomic clocks and cannot provide time directly over a network.
For business and enterprises, Stratum1 devices are the primary time servers. Stratum1 devices connect to Stratum0 devices for accurate timekeeping, and then provide a source of truth for Stratum2 servers and client devices.
Accuracy
Stratum1 devices provide the best possible accuracy since they connect directly to a trusted source, skipping the time-expensive steps of propagating between nodes and mitigating the risk of time drift. Stratum1 devices are often accurate to ~10 microseconds to UTC.
Reference
Stratum1 servers are used as reference to Stratum2 servers, the way SATNAVs are reference for Stratum-1 devices. This improves the scalability of the time solutions and reduces the load on the network.
Security
Since they connect to a recognized, authoritative Stratum0 time source, they improve security and reduce the risk of tampering by a hacker.
An investment in Stratum1 NTP server is an investment in accuracy, reliability, security and scalability of your IT infrastructure. Whatever your concern, whether it be running data centers, networks, complying with time-sensitive regulations, a Stratum1 server is an integral step to ensuring optimal performance and operational integrity.
