Network Infrastructure

When Milliseconds Matter, Time Becomes Infrastructure

Engineer NTP, PTP, GPS-disciplined clocks, redundant timing, broadcast synchronization, and drift monitoring for timing-sensitive environments.

Connectivity Model

Paths, boundaries, and failure domains

Treat time synchronization as infrastructure for broadcasting, transaction systems, distributed systems, security logging, and media production.

Where resilience and segmentation must be explicit

Treat time synchronization as infrastructure for broadcasting, transaction systems, distributed systems, security logging, and media production.

Network Surface Where resilience and segmentation must be explicit
  1. 01 NTP Authoritative time input
  2. 02 PTP NTP/PTP topology and redundancy
  3. 03 GPS-disciplined clocks Offset, jitter, drift, source health
  4. 04 Redundant timing Logs, media sync, transactions, distributed services
  5. 05 Broadcast synchronization Authoritative time input
  6. 06 Drift monitoring NTP/PTP topology and redundancy

Design a Precision Timing Architecture

Start with the site, path, outage pattern, or access requirement. HRHK can translate connectivity constraints into segmented, observable, and recoverable network architecture.
