Symmetricom Announces Network Time Server for Defense Department Global Positioning System (GPS)
24 March 2009 - 11:00PM
Business Wire
Symmetricom, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYMM), a worldwide leader in precise
time and frequency technologies that accelerate the deployment and
enable the management of next generation networks, today announced
the SyncServer� S300/S350 SAASM NTP Network Time Server that meets
the Global Positioning System (GPS) security requirements of the
U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). SyncServer S300/S350 SAASM is a
high performance time server with a secure, Selective Availability
Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM), GB-GRAM compliant GPS receiver. SAASM
is the security architecture selected by the Joint Chiefs of Staff
(JCS) to provide the next generation security functions for GPS
authorized military users.
The SyncServer S300/S350 SAASM has been granted security
approval by the GPS Wing (GPSW) which confirms the product meets
the latest security requirements of the DoD. GPSW has the overall
responsibility for controlling the development, production, sale
and distribution of GPS SAASM security devices. GPSW security
approval is required prior to sale and use of the SyncServer
S300/S350 SAASM by authorized customers.
�Symmetricom has been a leading provider of secure GPS based
time and frequency solutions for over a decade� commented Paul
Skoog, product marketing manager for Symmetricom. �Now, with the
SyncServer S300/S350 SAASM we set new standards for security,
reliability and versatility in synchronizing the time on mission
critical servers and workstations for DoD networks.�
An ultra high-bandwidth NTP time server, SyncServer S300/S350
SAASM is based on Symmetricom�s SyncServer S300/S350 NTP Time
Server with the following features:
- SAASM GB-GRAM PPS Receiver
with RAIM � Compliant with DoD mandate to use GPS SAASM Precise
Positioning Service (PPS) receivers
- Gigabit Ethernet Port in
addition to three 10/100Base-T ports � The four completely
independent ports provide the flexibility needed to easily adapt to
different and changing network topologies and security
requirements
- IPv6 Compliance � Assures
the SyncServer will last through the IPv4 to IPv6 migration,
futureproofing the DoD network
- RADIUS Authentication �
For maximum security and easy password management, particularly
when there are multiple administrators that need access to the
servers
- Autokey � To assure time
packet integrity from the authoritative time server by using secure
digital signatures which are easily configured and managed through
the easy-to-use web interface
- Alarm Relays for
Monitoring Systems � In-depth internal monitoring, very flexible
configurations and external alarming
- Easy Set-Up and Control �
Multiple NTP ports allow for easy network configuration and
adaptation; intuitive web interface for easy control and
maintenance
Compliant with the Joint Chiefs of Staff mandate that all newly
fielded DoD systems using GPS use SAASM PPS devices after October
1, 2006 (unless waived), the SyncServer S300/S350 SAASM provides
the highest immunity to jamming, plus time and frequency precision
and versatility. The SyncServer S300/S350 SAASM provides very
reliable and secure network synchronization technology by combining
multi-port network interfaces with multiple time reference
technology and enhanced security protocols. Accurately synchronized
clocks are critical for network log file accuracy, security,
electronic transactions, database integrity, communications and
many other essential DoD applications.
The SyncServer S300/S350 SAASM NTP network time servers will be
available in July 2009.
