It’s time to announce the winners of the third and final #ITSF2024 raffle! Congratulations to Leigh Whitcomb and Helmut F. on their fantastic prizes! 🏆 Surprisingly, Heiko has reappeared as our quizmaster just in time for the final round! 🔮 A big thank you to everyone who participated! Spoiler Alert: #ITSF2025 will take place in beautiful Prague! 🇨🇿

🔍 Precise timing is critical in today's data-driven industries. In Thomas Behn's poster session at #ITSF2024, he dives into monitoring PTP performance in complex data center networks. Learn how effective Capture Time Offset (CTO) measurement and continuous monitoring can stabilize your network timing. Explore our test setups, results, and insights.👇🏼

At #ITSF2024 in Seville, Doug Arnold, along with Helmut Imlau and Lee Cosart, today shared key insights on the IEEE P1952 resilience levels and their importance for telecommunications networks. They covered how each level—from detection to verification—supports the resilience of Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) equipment against threats like GNSS jamming and spoofing. We’re excited to see these standards, combined with ITU-T protocols, paving the way for a more resilient telecom infrastructure. #TelecomResilience #IEEE1952

We’re two, almost three days into #ITSF2024 in Seville, and as always, it’s been a valuable opportunity not only to share our own experiences and latest developments but also to learn from our industry colleagues! 🌍 Alongside our tutorials on the use of PTP in Broadcasting and a second session on the security aspects of PTP, both by Doug Arnold, as well as PTP in Power Generation & Transmission by Werner Abt, Heiko Gerstung also presented a proposal for a stateless client/server model for PTP networks. Thomas Behn had the opportunity to share his approach to measuring the timing performance of hierarchical PTP boundary clock architectures (key takeaways to be published tomorrow 📝) while yesterday Allan Armstrong, CEO of Meinberg USA, discussed the specific synchronization needs of sports broadcasters. With the final day of the event approaching, and while we’re a bit nostalgic that the ITSF week always seems to fly by so quickly 🕔💨, we’re still looking forward to Doug Arnold’s presentation on achieving IEEE P1952 resilience levels in telecom networks.

We have our winners for the second evening! A big applause goes to Per Lindgren, Fredrik Sundling, and Kadir C. for their well-earned prizes! 🏆 In an unexpected twist, Daniel has mysteriously replaced Heiko as our new quizmaster. 🤔 Be sure to join us tomorrow for one last opportunity to snag a prize in our #ITSF2024 raffle!

Heiko Gerstung just presented Client-Server Precision Time Protocol (CSPTP) at #ITSF2024, showcasing a collaborative effort by Meta, NetTimeLogic GmbH, and Meinberg with contributions from various other industry stakeholders. CSPTP aims to optimize large-scale time synchronization for industries like data centers, IoT, and media by reducing bandwidth usage, enhancing scalability with a stateless structure, and improving security against amplification and DoS attacks. With ongoing work toward IEEE standardization, #CSPTP is set to transform precise, secure, and efficient time synchronization. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gczV7jn2

Thank you Heiko Gerstung, Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the International Timing and Sync Forum (ITSF) 2024 conference as planned. However, I'm grateful that Heiko from Meinberg stepped-in to present my slides on drawing a roadmap for data centers to adopt precision time synchronization. The presentation outlined a comprehensive approach to adopting precision time synchronization in data centers, covering various phases, methodologies, and practical approaches. Our goal was to share our learnings and experiences with the timing community, highlighting the benefits and challenges of implementing precision time synchronization in real-world scenarios. Here are the slides in case anyone is interested: https://lnkd.in/gVMwyvDu I definitely missed seeing a lot of friends this year.

The winners of the first evening have been selected. Congratulations to Nobuyasu Shiga, Satoshi Yasuda, and Norbert Keim (not pictured)! 🏆 Join our quizmaster, Heiko Gerstung, tomorrow for another chance to win fantastic prizes in our #ITSF2024 raffle. #TravelBackLevelUp

Seamless broadcast synchronization in professional sports is crucial for high-stakes live events, from camera alignment to latency-free data streams. Here are the key takeaways from Allan Armstrong’s presentation at #ITSF2024, showcasing how Meinberg is shaping the future of sports broadcasting with reliable time synchronization solutions!

We're thrilled to finally be at #ITSF2024, meeting up with industry colleagues for what promises to be informative (and entertaining) days of presentations and talks about the latest and greatest developments in the world of timing & synchronization. In particular, we're pleased to be hosting the Welcome Reception and Kick-Off party for the event. As our computer nostalgia-themed posts over the past five days have suggested, we'll be taking you on a nostalgic trip through computing history, from the 1970s right up to the turn of the century. The musical entertainment will be provided by the band 88 Miles, featuring our very own Head of Software Development, Daniel Boldt (a man of many talents), while Managing Director Heiko Gerstung will be putting your retro gaming memories to the test. And who knows? Maybe some of you will be going home with something slightly more tangible than just fond memories of your childhood computers ...
