-
Time precisionProvides a common clock for physical layer in the entire network, allowing a nanosecond synchronization accuracy and 20 picosecond jitter time.
-
Distance rangeIn order to handle the majority of industrial and scientific facilities, the WR network is designed to support distance ranges of 10 km using fiber cables. Nevertheless, there are experiments showing synchronization capabilities over hundred of Kms
-
ScalabilityThe WR network is designed to be highly scalable with up to thousands of nodes. It also intents to be as modular as possible and compatible with non-WR devices.
What is the White Rabbit technology ?
It is an extension of Ethernet. It provides sub-nanosecond synchronization over 1G Ethernet networks with timing and data transfers among its different elements.
The solution is part of the White Rabbit (WR) Project which is lead by CERN and follows an “Open Hardware” strategy.
