Global timing infrastructure

The Hoptroff Terrestrial Time Feed™ is built like no other:

✔️ Global timing hubs

Our timing network spans the globe with strategic hubs positioned for optimal coverage in London, Tokyo, New York and Sydney data centres.

Simply cross-connect to pick up the Hoptroff Terrestrial Time Feed™. Meets MiFID II, CAT NMS, and other compliance requirements.

✔️ Multiple authoritative sources

Direct terrestrial connections to recognised timing authorities, including NIST, NPL, RISE, and other UTC sources.

Redundant pathways ensure continuous access to authoritative time.

✔️ Comprehensive GNSS coverage

Multiple satellite constellation feeds including GPS, Galileo, and BeiDou provide additional resilience and cross-validation capabilities.

Perfect for

Companies developing timing solutions for specific industries or applications requiring direct access to timing infrastructure.
Organisations requiring complete control over timing infrastructure for security reasons.

Organisations building custom timing systems or integrating timing into existing platforms.
Direct feed access provides maximum control and flexibility.
Telecommunications companies, data centre operators, and cloud providers requiring timing infrastructure for client services.
