Precision timing is required across many different industries from telecoms to industrial automation with PTP as the protocol of choice. The IEEE 1588 PTP standard allows the freedom to develop industry-specific profiles (PTP variants) and about 20 of these have been specified so far in a wide range of sectors from broadcasting to power utilities.
In this presentation, Kenneth Hann will explain the need to interconnect and share time between PTP equipment using different profiles. He will outline the cross-profile challenges and show that a combination of multi-profile grandmaster technology and pluggable boundary clocks offers an ideal solution.
