Provide accurate time for all devices on your network

Spring Forward with the New NTP1061

Get ready for NetBurner’s most flexible NTP server yet:
accurate timekeeping on one cable.

As millions of us prepared to spring forward an hour this March, NetBurner made sure the world’s devices don’t miss a beat. We launched the NTP1061 Outdoor Network Time Server right when the time changed at 2AM Sunday March 8, introducing an affordable, weatherproof, self-contained NTP server to a market that’s stuck in the past. A single Power Over Ethernet cable is now all it takes to deliver sub-millisecond time accuracy to an entire network, no manual clock-setting or antenna wiring required.

“NetBurner customers have made it clear that our NTP servers are an important cornerstone of their time-sensitive operations,” said NetBurner engineer Paul Breed. “With the NTP1061 we wanted to remove every barrier to deploying precise network time. No separate antenna, no dedicated power run, no unnecessary expenses: just plug in a single Power over Ethernet cable, mount the unit with a clear view of the sky, and your whole network has access to sub-millisecond time precision. It really is accurate timekeeping on one cable.”

The NTP1061 synchronizes directly with all major GNSS satellites to provide a Stratum 1 time source, precise to under 1 microsecond, serving up to 10,000 requests per second over the network with 1-millisecond accuracy. Configuration and real-time satellite monitoring are handled through an intuitive web interface secured with HTTPS. Its compact form factor (just 13×6 cm and barely over 100 grams) along with an IP65-rated enclosure and a wide -40°C to +85°C operating range, make it equally at home on a rooftop, at a factory, or in the field.

NetBurner is committed to supporting engineers and integrators at every stage of their deployment lifecycle, including help with developing custom solutions. The NTP1061 delivers an affordable, all-in-one solution that eliminates the complexity and cost of traditional GPS time server installations, making self-contained NTP accessible to organizations of any size.

Orders for NTP1061 will be accepted starting March 8, for delivery beginning in May 2026. For more information, visit the product page or contact NetBurner Sales at [email protected] or (858) 558-0293.

network time server NTP

The goal: To enable time synchronization of multiple devices.

The method: Set all host devices to get their time from a time server.

The result: The time server provides accurate time for host devices.

NetBurner Network Time Servers use the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to enable host devices on your network maintain accurate time. Timing is synchronized to information received from GPS satellites. Once plugged in and configured, all network devices can be set to get their time from the NTP Time Server.

How to affordably deploy network attached devices in the real world

If you have a network attached widget you want to put out into the world you will soon discover that deploying it is not as simple as you might think. You will discover that every business has a different standard or setup of how to setup the network. If individual deployment/installation requires a skilled technician to install and debug, this will severely limit your market penetration.
