Zhongxin Chuangwei provides clock synchronization equipment to the Bank of Communications Co., Ltd.

Recently, the Bank of Communications Co., Ltd. issued a tender for time servers. Beijing Zhongxin Chuang promptly collaborated to develop a detailed proposal and recommended its independently developed and manufactured DNTS‑9 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 Bank of Communications’ time‑server project.

Bank of Communications Co., Ltd. was founded in 1908 and is one of China’s oldest banks. On April 1, 1987, following its reorganization, the bank officially commenced operations, becoming China’s first nationwide state‑owned joint‑stock commercial bank, with its headquarters in Shanghai. The bank was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in June 2005 and on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in May 2007, and in 2023 it was designated a Global Systemically Important Bank. Based on Tier 1 capital, the bank ranks ninth among global banks.

Bank of Communications Co., Ltd. aims to build a world-class banking group with distinctive strengths, anchoring its entire business strategy in green finance. The bank is committed to developing four core business pillars—inclusive finance, trade finance, technology‑driven finance, and wealth management—while continuously enhancing five key areas of expertise: customer‑centric operations, technology‑led innovation, risk management, cross‑functional collaboration, and resource allocation. Guided by innovative breakthroughs in Shanghai’s “home‑field” development and digital transformation, the bank is driving high‑quality growth across the board.

With the approval of the National Administration of Financial Regulation, the Bank provides comprehensive financial services—including deposits and loans, supply-chain finance, cash management, international settlement and trade finance, investment banking, asset custody, wealth management, bank cards, private banking, and treasury operations—to 2.6192 million corporate clients and 192 million retail customers through online channels such as mobile banking and internet banking, as well as via more than 2,800 domestic branches and 23 overseas branches and representative offices. The Group, through wholly owned or controlling subsidiaries, operates in such business areas as financial leasing, fund management, wealth management, trust services, insurance, overseas securities, and debt-to-equity swaps.

Bank of Communications Co., Ltd. conducted an in-depth evaluation of the DNTS‑9 time server independently developed by Zhongxin Chuang, and the results consistently exceeded the specified performance parameters. The bank also expressed high satisfaction with our product quality and after-sales service, proceeding to place a successful order and put the system into operation.

The DNTS-9 network time server, developed by Beijing Zhongxinchuang Technology Co., Ltd., is an intelligent, high-precision NTP network time server. The DNTS-9 obtains standard time information from the GPS navigation and positioning satellite system and provides standard time services over the network via NTP/SNTP or other network protocols. Devices in the network that require time synchronization—such as personal computers, servers, controllers, and others—can synchronize with international standard time. When using a GNSS satellite receiver, users can define priority levels and configure single-receiver/dual-receiver or single-antenna/dual-antenna setups; each receiver can be set to operate in timing mode independently or in conjunction with others. If both receivers and other available time sources lose signal, the DNTS-9 relies on its built-in temperature-compensated crystal oscillator to maintain accurate timekeeping and continues to provide uninterrupted time services to external devices.

In addition to serving as a primary‑level network time‑synchronization device, the DNTS‑9 can also function as a secondary‑level time server, enabling more effective time synchronization in large‑scale network environments. It provides precise standard time signals for systems such as distributed networks, computer security systems, file management systems, e‑commerce platforms, online B2B systems, and cloud database storage and maintenance. The DNTS‑9 has been successfully deployed across government, finance, mobile telecommunications, public security, petroleum, power, transportation, industrial, and defense sectors. Installation and operation of the DNTS‑9HG network time server are exceptionally straightforward: simply connect the satellite receiving antenna and link the Ethernet port to a network switch to achieve time synchronization for all devices on the network.

◆GNSS satellite reference clock, with a built-in temperature-compensated crystal oscillator or rubidium atomic clock, serving as a stratum‑1 network time server.

◆ High throughput enables simultaneous synchronization of the clocks of tens of thousands of clients, servers, workstations, and other devices.

◆ Four 10/100/1000M Ethernet ports are available, facilitating network configuration and deployment, and enabling easy system upgrades.

◆ Supports management via SSH, Telnet, Web, SNMP, and DNTS-Manager, enabling easy remote network login, administration, configuration, and maintenance.

◆ A single device with multiple network interfaces, or multiple devices with multiple network interfaces, can be configured to use the same IP address for hot backup.

◆High reliability, with an MTBF of 90,000 hours
