Trimble's GPS Timing Kit Now Available for Purchase Online

SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble announced today that its
Acutime(TM) 2000 Synchronization Kit can now be purchased online at
trimblestore.com/timing. The Acutime 2000 Synchronization Kit is a
high-performance, cost-effective reference time source that precisely
synchronizes computers, servers and Internet applications using Global
Positioning System (GPS) technology.
"GPS timing -- which provides the precision of an atomic clock for a fraction
of the cost -- is playing a critical role in the expansion of wireless networks
and global data communications," said Dennis Workman, vice president and
general manager of Trimble's Component Technologies Division. "By making our
popular Acutime 2000 Synchronization Kit available for purchase online, Trimble
offers customers a convenient and secure alternative to complement traditional
sales channels."
The Acutime 2000 Synchronization Kit is a plug-and-play solution that is easy
to install and maintain. It can generate a pulse-per-second (PPS) synchronized
to UTC within 50 nanoseconds (one sigma). It can also be used with network time
protocol (NTP) and is ideal for synchronizing any time-dependent system or
application including:
        *       Certified time stamping for financial and e-commerce
transactions
        *       Audio and visual data streaming
        *       Enterprise networks
        *       Enhancement of network security and administration
        *       Billing for Internet service providers
        *       Network router and switch synchronization
