Each of the three IGM 3.0 additions deliver precise time and phase as well as new capabilities enabled by IGM Plus hardware models with enhanced oscillators and GNSS receivers. The new oscillator options extend time-keeping holdover performance while the enhanced receiver speeds satellite signal acquisition and improves security by accessing more GNSS constellations simultaneously. The receiver upgrade option supports GPS, Galileo (Europe), QZSS (Japan) and GLONASS, and is Beidou-ready. The IGM 3.0 software includes higher PTP capacity to 60 clients in addition to IPv6 support for traffic and management flows.
 
Both TimeProvider 4100 Release 2.0 and IGM Release 3.0 are managed with TimePictra®, the centralised and unified management platform for the company’s broad family of precise timing systems.
