Hi sorry for a possibly OT post. Has anyone had practical experience with small commercially available time servers / ntp servers suitable for mobile use in a vehicle.
The use case is I am in need of an accurate (ie. within 100 ms) time source for several pc's in moving vehicle. Being able to run directly off a 13.8 or 28 VDC source would be a major plus but AC power is also available. Hold over if there are gaps in GPS coverage is also a major plus. We already have a GPS with a 1 pps output, but an integrated box with it's own GPS would be best. Yes I am aware I could feed a 1 pps signal into a laptop and use that as a time server and I may end up going that route. There is a small Ethernet LAN in the vehicle. The pc's currently get their time via a wireless connection to various NTP servers. I need to be able to ensure accurate time on the PC's if there is no wireless coverage. This is for a one off project so piecing together various parts is an option but a single box COTS solution would be nice. I've found a few candidates via web searches but would welcome any feed back. Thanks in advance Mark Spencer _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
