Description
The TimeMachines® GPS NTP Network Time Server (TM1000A) is a Stratum 1, GPS-based NTP time server designed to deliver highly accurate and reliable time synchronization across local area networks. By hosting a dedicated time source on your LAN, the TM1000A eliminates reliance on Internet-based NTP servers and ensures uninterrupted time accuracy—even during network outages.
Powered by a high-sensitivity GPS receiver, the TM1000A locks to multiple U.S. GPS satellites using an active GPS antenna. This design allows reliable reception from window locations or within multi-building environments, often eliminating the need for an outdoor antenna. The compact unit fits neatly anywhere in your network layout and supports optional rack-mount accessories.
Reliable Time—Even When the Internet Is Down
With a local GPS-disciplined time source, network clocks, servers, controllers, and endpoints remain synchronized regardless of Internet outages or variable public NTP delays. This stability is critical for event coordination, logging accuracy, security systems, and compliance-driven environments.
Simple Setup and Management
Installation is straightforward:
Connect the supplied power adapter and GPS antenna.
Attach the unit to your LAN.
Access the built-in web interface to set network parameters.
Once configured, the TM1000A immediately begins serving time to any requesting device. When paired with digital PoE clocks, campus-wide synchronization is maintained with exceptional accuracy.
