Zhongxin Chuangwei provides clock synchronization server equipment to Liugang Group.
Zhongxin Chuangwei provides clock synchronization server equipment to Liugang Group.

Recently, Liugang Group issued a tender for time servers. Beijing Zhongxin Chuang promptly collaborated to develop a detailed proposal and recommended its independently developed and manufactured DNTS-88-OGB time server as the bid‑winning product. Following a fiercely competitive bidding process, Zhongxin Chuang stood out thanks to its high‑quality products and comprehensive after‑sales service, ultimately securing the contract for Liugang Group’s Beidou timing equipment project.
Guangxi Liuzhou Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Liugang Group”) is strategically located in the golden hub of China’s Pan‑Pearl River Delta, Greater Southwest, Beibu Gulf, and ASEAN economic circles. It ranks among the world’s top 50 steel enterprises, is listed among China’s Top 500 Enterprises, and is one of the 18 local steel companies designated in the national steel industry layout. The company is a super‑large integrated steel enterprise in China. In 2022, it was awarded an A+ (extremely strong) rating for competitiveness and development quality among Chinese steel enterprises, recognized as an outstanding enterprise in smart steel city construction, and became the nation’s first “cloud‑based steel plant.”
Liugang Group conducted an in-depth evaluation of the DNTS-88-OGB time server, independently developed by Zhongxin Chuang. The results consistently exceeded the specified performance parameters, and the company expressed high satisfaction with both our product quality and after-sales service, leading to a successful procurement and deployment.
The DNTS-8 time server, developed by Beijing Zhongxinchuang Technology Co., Ltd., is a high-tech, intelligent, stand-alone clock synchronization server that operates based on the NTP/SNTP protocols and delivers high precision. The DNTS-8 time server obtains standard clock signal information from GPS geostationary satellites and transmits this information across the network, enabling devices requiring time signals—such as computers and controllers—to synchronize with the standard clock. When all receivers lose signal, the DNTS-8 relies on its built-in temperature-compensated crystal oscillator for timekeeping, achieving a timing accuracy of up to 1E-9. The DNTS-8 disseminates standard clock information via TCP/IP networks and supports multiple popular time‑broadcasting protocols, including NTP and time/UDP; it can also accommodate custom‑defined time‑broadcast packets using configurable UDP ports. The port numbers for NTP and time/UDP are fixed at 123 and 37, respectively, as specified in RFC-123 and RFC-37. Additionally, the DNTS-8 supports the broadcast mode of the SNTP protocol.
