With the rapid development of the digital era, the requirements for time synchronization in various industries are increasing. Especially in key areas such as finance, communication, and electric power, accurate time synchronization is essential for stable system operation, business continuity, and data security. Recognizing these needs, Maiwe proudly introduces its PTP industrial Ethernet switch series, offering reliable and efficient time synchronization solutions.

Understanding PTP

Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a time synchronization protocol adhering to the IEEE1588v2 standard, designed for high-precision time synchronization between devices. PTP stands out among existing time synchronization mechanisms with several advantages:

1. PTP vs. TSN (Time Sensitive Networking): While TSN focuses on the real-time and deterministic aspects of data transmission, PTP emphasizes high-precision time synchronization between devices.
2. PTP vs. NTP (Network Time Protocol): PTP achieves sub-microsecond accuracy, significantly surpassing NTP, which only provides sub-second synchronization accuracy.
3. PTP vs. GPS (Global Positioning System): PTP offers lower construction and maintenance costs and eliminates dependency on GPS, which holds special significance for national security.

Maiwe PTP Series Switches

Maiwe’s PTP industrial Ethernet switch series currently includes two models: the MISCOM8216PTP-4XGF-4GF-8GT and the MISCOM8030PTP-6XGF-16GF-8GC. Both models are engineered to deliver high performance, reliability, and precision for industrial applications.
