Using Atomic Clocks as External NTP Timing References

Atomic Clocks have been around for over fifty years or so. They are clocks that use an atomic resonance frequency as its timekeeping element rather than conventional oscillating crystals such as quartz. Most atomic clocks use the resonance of the atom ... Read >

How a NTP Server Works

Network Time Protocol (NTP) is one of the Internet's oldest protocols still in use. Invented by Dr David Mills from the University of Delaware it has been utilized since 1985. NTP is designed to synchronize the clocks on computers and networks across the ... Read >
