Overview

The IR-301, IEEE-1588v2 PTP to IRIG-B / 1PPS-NMEA Converter provides precise time synchronization to legacy equipment using PTP to provide 1PPS / IRIG-B and NMEA outputs. The IR-301 is a high precision time and frequency synchronization solution which uses a IEEE-1588v2 PTP Grandmaster as its time source to provide IRIG-B / 1PPS outputs with nanosecond accuracy.

PTP to IRIG-B converter

It has been engineered to provide extremely reliable time and frequency synchronization which can be used by power generation utilities, mobile telecom networks, aviation industry, defense and other applications where high precision timestamping is required. The IR301 makes use of Best Master Clock Algorithm, which allows the user to seamlessly install the equipment in a redundant PTP Grandmaster network. It is available in a DIN rail chassis.
