White Rabbit Switch
Overview
It is the first commercial available device developed with the White Rabbit (WR) Technology. It distributes Time and Frequency within a sub-nanosecond accuracy to thousands of nodes through standard optical fiber over Metro Area network distances. It also works as a basic data switch. It is the basic element for scientists and technologists looking for experimenting with WR technology and to evaluate features like deterministic time transfer or dynamical self-calibration of optical fiber links. Together with CERN we are the original designers and have been deploying it over the last 10 years.
– Deterministic time distribution with accuracy 1 ns.
– Long distances (hundreds of Kms).
– Many hops (14 tested keeping subnanosecond accuracy).
– Subnanosecond accurate event timestamps (ps for Ethernet traffic).
– Dependable: redundant network topologies.
– Future support of: switchover and holdover functionalities for next releases.
– High scalability.
– Heterogeneous timing interface (PTP, NMEA, etc).
