The synchronization of networks, machines, and financial applications is becoming an ever important factor in the day-to-day operation of many companies. With this ever growing need for synchronization, comes a search for knowledge of a lesser known product called GPS clock, Atomic Clock, GNSS Clock, Time Code Generator, Network Time Server or known by a range of other names. In this article, we will refer to these devices as a GPS Clock.

We are pleased to announce that Tekron has appointed Amanda Santos as CEO. Drawing on a wealth of experience of 15+ years in sales management positions and consulting to 80+ organizations, Amanda employs sales methodologies and tools that provide organizations with structure to help them achieve better business results.

As part of Tekron’s work with the National Grid Corporation of Philippines (NGCP) to modernize and upgrade electricity supply in the fast growing ASEAN economy, Tekron hosted two senior engineers at its HQ in Wellington for a rigorous 3-day training program. The program covered Factory Acceptance Testing, Training in Configuration, Use and Troubleshooting of Tekron’s top of the line TCG 02-G Atomic oscillator as well as Telecom specific communication options. This unique set of Tekron features enables NGCP to transition its legacy substation and telecom synchronization services (IRIG-B and E1/T1) to a modern IP (PTP and NTP) solution over Ethernet. Particular attention was paid during training to the advanced security features particularly with increased cyber security concerns as well as the units’ outstanding holdover performance, and clock accuracy. The TCG 02-G was put through a rigorous testing program and validated as exceeding the demanding NGCP requirements. Our visitors commented:

Tekron is pleased to announce the launch of *ScopeApp*; a revolutionary and easy-to-use IRIG-B oscilloscope application software that utilizes the enhanced processor and screen capabilities of your smartphone to decode and graph IRIG-B signals when wirelessly connected to Tekron’s *IRIG-B Analyzer*. 

Tekron is pleased to announce the launch of NTS100; a compact and single port NTP Time Server that provides secure, accurate and reliable timing references for synchronizing control and SCADA networks with optional PTP (IEEE-1588v2) support.
