Sentry

Sentry is a rack mount network synchronisation monitor for verifying the ‘whole network’ performance. A versatile solution for remotely monitoring multiple NTP, PTP, and clock signals in large network infrastructure environments such as data centers.

  • Verify phase, time and frequency synchronization
  • PTP accuracy verification and monitoring
  • Remotely monitor and diagnose synchronization issues on ethernet and clock signals
  • Identify trends before they become problems
  • Maximise benefits of your synchronized network to save compute power and drive operational efficiency

Versatile sync tool

  • Detect rogue time source in a Data Center or Telecom network
  • Compare time domains in trading venues
  • Remotely probe networks to directly measure unicast boundary clock
  • Validate O-RAN DU rTE

Connectivity

Two Ethernet ports:

100M to 100G
IPv4 and IPv6
PTP and NTP
up to 34 PTP streams

Up to 5 Clock inputs:

0.5Hz to 200Mhz

Versatile interface

  • Set up and data download over API
  • Direct operation over VNC
  • Fixed duration or continuous measurements
  • All measurements are simultaneous
  • Fully analyze measurements in CAT and PFV

Internal reference

High stability Rb disciplined to GNSS or external 1PPS source
