Keeping networks secure and 
in sync with Netnod Time

A lot of the Internet’s most important security tools are dependent on accurate time. Find out everything you need to know about why time is important, what type of time services are best for your organisation and how Netnod can help.

 

What level of security do you need?

Netnod offers multiple time services depending on your needs. Netnod provides free time services (NTP & NTS) as the official operator of Swedish Distributed Time. 

Our Premium Time Services (PTP) have been designed for systems needing the highest level of accuracy.

Free Time Services

NTP is the most commonly used protocol for synchronizing the time on computer systems. NTS is an essential development of NTP and ads a layer of security.

Premium Time Services

Netnod’s PTP service is delivered over a dedicated fibre and offers a robust, reliable and highly accurate source for time and frequency.

Swedish Distributed Time Service

The service is operated by Netnod, monitored by RISE Research Institutes of Sweden and financed by The Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS).

Today time is distributed to digital networks in two main ways: via GNSS or over a network. 
Both methods have their pros and cons.
