The MEINBERG M3000 can use common GNSS systems (GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BeiDou, etc.), terrestrial transmitters (DCF/PZF, MSF, WWVB, etc.), or signals obtained from other networks or devices (PTP, E1/T1, IRIG, PPS, NTP, 10MHz, etc.) as synchronization sources. The oscillators (7 possible quality levels) are then configured using these signals, and the "Intelligent Modular System" is able to select the most accurate reference and generate all types of outputs from it, including pulses, frequencies, timecodes, protocols, etc., automatically switching between references as needed.
There are several types of output modules that are hot-swappable and configurable down to the connector type. The currently available modules can be viewed in the press release (click here), but there are specific models and configurations for various sectors:
Electrical and Energy: PTP POWER profile for IEC 61850 compliance in “Smart Grids”
Telecommunications: IEEE-1588 TELECOM profile and E1/T1 inputs
Air and Ground Traffic: Redundant systems with up to 40 NTP ports and 10 PTP ports
Finance and Commerce: IEEE-1588 ENTERPRISE profile for microsecond network synchronization and latency determination with PTPv2.
