New Network Time Protocol server at Barcelona CLS

CSUC has installed a new Network Time Protocol (NTP) server at the Point of Presence (PoP) that the CATNIX has at the Barcelona Cable Landing Station (Barcelona CLS).

The server is a Meinberg Lantime M320, the same model that was installed earlier this year at the Campus Nord node, and it allows synchronization of both the Anella Científica and CATNIX equipment.

An NTP server is a device that provides the exact time to devices connected to a network. The goal is to ensure that all devices share the same precise time, which is essential for security and telecommunications in general.

The new Meinberg Lantime M320 offers high precision, a powerful and user-friendly web interface, and includes receivers for GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou, among other notable features. On this occasion, an antenna has also been installed on the roof of the Barcelona CLS to synchronize with GPS.
