• Common NTP GPS Server Problems A NTP GPS server is one of the most stable and reliable ways to receive a timing signal, they are also the simple and easy to install. However, there are some common problems that some users come across in the installation of their NTP GPS Server. By far the most common occurrence with a NTP GPS server a Is when no GPS signal is being received. There are normally several possible reasons why a NTP GPS server is failing to receive a signal. The GPS antenna should be correctly aligned with a 180 degree view of the sky. It should also be ...
  
  
• Installing a Dedicated GPS NTP Server A GPS NTP server is quite possibly the most accurate and efficient method of receiving a timing source to synchronise a computer network to. A GPS NTP server can receive a timing signal from literally anywhere in the world using relatively low cost components. They are also incredibly easy to install. The only difficulties ever encountered in installing a GPS NTP server is that they require an antenna with a good view of the sky, this is because the signals are broadcast by the satellites by line-of-sight so a clear view of the sky is a necessity (although some people have had ...
  
  
• GPS Time Server Troubleshooting Tips A GPS time server is probably the most secure, accurate and reliable method of receiving a UTC time signal (Coordinated Universal Time). However, some problems do occur but fortunately the solutions are relatively straightforward. One of the most common causes for problems with a GPS time server is in failure to receive a signal. While the GPS transmission is extremely impervious to weather interference and as most GPS time servers can receive a signal from between one and twelve different satellites, the transmission is very robust. If a signal is not being received then the first point of call is the ...
  
  
• GPS Time Server the Synchronisation Choice Time servers, in reality, come in two flavours: the radio referenced time server and the GPS time server. Both are equally as good at receiving, distributing and synchronising to UTC (coordinated universal time). However, while a radio signal is limited in range and vulnerable to interference the GPS signal, transmitted from one of the 33 NAVSTAR satellites in orbit, is available literally anywhere on the globe. For this reason the GPS time signal is now the time reference of choice for network administrators needing a source of UTC time. The only prerequisite for a GPS time server is that that GPS antenna ...
  
  
• Why a GPS Time Server Just as your computer is only as good as the software it is running (and in most cases the operator too), a time server is only as useful as the timing source it uses. Accuracy is of course the fundamental feature in time servers and Network Time Protocol (NTP) has been designed to ensure the highest accuracy possible is always obtainable. Unfortunately many administrators opt to use an Internet timing source to run their time server with. Unfortunately several studies of Internet timing references discovered that nearly two thirds were inaccurate by over several seconds (almost an eternity in the world of ...
