Time Synchronization in Airports and Air Traffic Control
At airports and air traffic control centers, accurate time management is critical for operational efficiency and safety. Passenger and baggage coordination, flight safety and on-time departures require the simultaneous operation of multiple systems.
Time distribution systems must offer high reliability. Displaying the correct time for both passengers and staff ensures uninterrupted operations. Reliably synchronized systems enable all processes to work in harmony on time and maximize performance.
What are the Advantages of Accurate and Secure Time Sourcing?
Accurate Time Stamps: Ensures pinpoint accuracy in flight tracking, radar data and data exchange.
High Reliability: Avoids loss of synchronization with 99.999% availability.
Synchronized Systems: Seamless synchronization of IT networks, access control and passenger information systems.
Traceability in Customs Transactions: Provides reliable and accurate timestamps for every transaction.
Real-Time Operation Coordination: Precise and simultaneous time distribution between different devices.
EKOSYNC 1588 SOLUTION FOR AIRLINES
Accurate and Reliable Time Information to All Devices at the Airport:
Unlike the risks of getting time data from the Internet, the EKOSync time server receives a reliable reference time with its antenna (GNSS). In this way, it distributes UTC to all air traffic controllers precisely and simultaneously via NTP/PTP protocol.
Precise Time Management and Operation Coordination at the Airport:
All clocks at the airport, from the entrance areas to the shopping areas and passenger lounges, are synchronized and connected to the IT network. EKOSync controls the time synchronization of all NTP equipment such as time servers, flight information systems, gates and customs scanners. This provides a reliable time reference for both employees and passengers and supports real-time coordination of operations.
Precise Traceability in Customs Operations:
IT systems that record passenger entries and exits in customs services create accurate timestamps for each transaction thanks to EKOSync. This system ensures precise data traceability in passport scanners and passenger transfer devices.
