AMG Systems of the United Kingdom and USA has introduced the AMG810/816 series of cost-effective Network Time Protocol (NTP) Servers. NTP Servers are required in closed networks where there is no connection to the internet to assign time codes accurately.  

Accurate time is critical on a network, most security protocols, such as 802.1x, CCTV video, and all types of system logging, such as Syslog require time-stamped data. The AMG810/816 series are Stratum 1 devices, meaning they are just 1 level away from the source time clock, either atomic clock or satellite. The AMG810/816 models are Stratum 1 devices as they take their time directly from GNSS satellite constellations.

The AMG810/816 series consists of four models; the differentiation is two are DIN Rail Mount units, and two are 19-inch rack models. Power options include 12-24VDC, 85 – 264 VAC, and POE powered. AMG offers multiple antenna options, including window, surface, and pole mount. The line is fully hardened and can operate outdoors in a suitable IP-rated housing and extreme temperatures (-20 to +70°C). The AMG810/816 Series PoE time servers are designed in the USA and UK and manufactured in an ISO9001-certified facility, are fully TAA and NDAA compliant, and unlike other similar products from some Asian countries, can be used in all US Government installations. AMG products, including the AMG810/816 products, are backed by the AMG industry-leading lifetime warranty.

Steve Clarke, AMG's Managing Director, said, “Network Time Protocol (NTP) Servers are critical to any network, particularly those not directly connected to the internet. That now includes most security, ITS, and factory networks that cannot risk having unauthorised access. Our AMG 810/816 helps to eliminate any threat of that happening by providing accurate time stamps. The AMG810/816 series sets the quality standard. Our engineering team looked at what was currently available, identified weaknesses, and engineered our product line to overcome those weaknesses. Plus having a product made in the USA/UK gives your network an added layer of security.”

Tom Exley, AMG Technical Director, adds, “We designed the AMG810/816 Series to set the standard to which all competitive products should be measured. Our AMG810/816 series supports four different satellite constellations with the possibility to enable 3 of them at the same time for improved coverage and the time needed for the initial time fix. Most competitors rely on a single GPS satellite constellation. Additional features such as an integrated super-capacitor backup ensure the AMG810/816 series offers market-leading performance.”

AMG believes having products in stock, being fully supported by the AMG design team, and being covered by the AMG Lifetime Warranty gives worldwide AMG customers a measurable advantage in today’s competitive marketplace.
