PTS - Time and Frequency Standard

The PTS is a state of the art frequency instrument using a disciplined atomic clock to offer a wide range of features and time and frequency outputs accurate to <20ns rms to UTC (USNO) and 1x10-12 respectively.  This product is both economic and very reliable, offering complete remote control and monitoring via a web-browser based interface.  Applications include central time and frequency systems, satellite earth stations, and military communications systems network time servers.  This product is one of Brandywine's staples and can be ordered in high quantity and has quick turn-around delivery.
