National Timing Grid Monitoring Service
The NTG Monitoring Service observes fundamental time and timing-distribution components and gives near real-time visibility into the performance and stability of critical timing chains.

National Timing Grid Monitoring Service
Check your clock against Ireland's national time reference. The National Timing Grid (NTG) Monitoring Service tracks timing accuracy and stability, helping operators see drift and investigate changes in the sources their infrastructure depends on.
Book a consultationHow it works
NTG nodes measure client timing sources against GNSS signals, allowing comparison with highly stable atomic clocks and selected trusted references. This supports visibility across atomic clocks, PRTC/ePRTC, NTP, PTP, and other timing sources.
What your team receives
Near real-time monitoring information, clock-stability comparisons, and alerts help operators assess their timing chain. The monitored sources and reference comparisons are agreed for each deployment.
Deployment in Ireland
The service has been deployed in Ireland through cooperation between Timing Solutions, NSAI NML, Data Edge, Vodafone, Eir, Irish Rail, ESB Networks, and Microchip Cork Laboratory. Timing Solutions owns and operates the NTG monitoring system, including hardware, software, and related know-how.
