Zhongxin Chuangwei provides an NTP time server to Tibet Nationalities University.

Zhongxin Chuangwei provides an NTP time server to Tibet Nationalities University.

 

Recently, Tibet University of Nationalities issued a request for proposals for a clock synchronization system. Beijing Zhongxin Chuang promptly collaborated to develop a detailed solution and recommended its self‑developed and manufactured DNTS‑84‑OG time server as the bid‑winning product. Following a highly competitive bidding process, Zhongxin Chuang stood out thanks to its high‑quality products and comprehensive after‑sales service, ultimately securing the contract for the clock synchronization equipment project at Tibet University of Nationalities.

Xizang Minzu University is located in Shaanxi. Xianyang , is among the first institutions approved by the State Council to confer bachelor’s degrees, and is People’s Government of the Tibet Autonomous Region A university jointly established with the State Ethnic Affairs Commission, Project for Enhancing the Basic Capabilities of Universities in Central and Western China Universities selected in the first phase, East China Normal University Partner universities for assistance, National Demonstration University for Deepening Reform in Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education

Tibet University conducted an in-depth evaluation of the DNTS-84-OG clock server, independently developed by Zhongxin Chuang, and the results consistently exceeded the specified performance parameters. The university also expressed high satisfaction with our product quality and after-sales service, proceeding smoothly with procurement and deployment.

 

 

 

The DNTS-84-OG 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-84-OG time server acquires standard clock signal information from GPS or BeiDou 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 both GPS and BeiDou receivers are in use, a priority can be configured; by default, BeiDou takes precedence, with GPS serving as a backup. If neither receiver receives a signal, the DNTS-84-OG relies on its built-in temperature-compensated crystal oscillator for timekeeping, achieving a timing accuracy of up to 1E-9. The DNTS-84-OG disseminates standard clock information via TCP/IP networks and supports multiple popular time‑broadcasting protocols, including NTP and time/UDP, as well as Zhongxinchuang’s proprietary time‑broadcast data packets with 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-84-OG supports the broadcast mode of the SNTP protocol.
