Albedo Telecom Substation Clock Net.Time φ

The ALBEDO Telecom Net.Time φ is a modular substation synchronization clock designed to provide accurate and reliable timing for power utility networks. It delivers PTP and NTP synchronization for IEC 61850 IEDs, while supporting IRIG-B, 1PPS, ToD, T1/E1, and frequency references for legacy equipment. The platform supports GNSS synchronization together with multiple backup and complementary clock references, enabling resilient timing distribution in substation environments.

The Net.Time φ provides dual electrical and optical Ethernet interfaces, modular clock-reference expansion, automatic reference switchover, and multiple oscillator options including TCXO, OCXO, OCXO HQ, Rubidium, and Rubidium HQ. It supports PTP profiles including IEEE 1588-2008, IEC 61850-9-3, IEEE C37.238, and ITU-T G.8265.1/G.8275.1/G.8275.2, together with NTP, SyncE, PRP, GNSS, and legacy timing interfaces. The 1U rack-mount platform is designed for operation in demanding substation environments and supports redundant power supply configurations.
