Net Insight’s South African reseller partner GDS Technologies and the new end-customer Synch Industries have selected Net Insight’s Zyntai solution, based on the synchronization technology Precision TimeNet, to facilitate GNSS-independent time distribution throughout South Africa.
Synch Industries is working to build a national time distribution network free from GNSS-dependency. They will offer Time as a Service (TaaS) to a wide range of industries, such as telecom, media companies, fintech, data centers and power utilities. The implementation of GNSS-independent time distribution will strengthen national resilience and eliminate reliance on foreign influence in this vital national service. The network will go live in Q1, 2025 and the plan is to expand it further during the year.
“We are thrilled to achieve this technologically advanced network through the collaboration with Net Insight and GDS Technologies and we are excited to see that the project is in its final stages of going commercial,” says Neeren Ramharakh, Founder and CEO of Synch Industries. “In an increasingly interconnected world, the demand for precise, accurate, and secure time has never been more critical. Our commitment to providing a trustworthy source of time lays the foundation for businesses to thrive, enhance their operational efficiency, and forge ahead in the digital age.”
“We are very proud to welcome a new customer in time synchronization, which serves as a strong testament to the relevance and the growing demand for our solution. This milestone opens a new market and creates opportunities in this region,” says Per Lindgren, Group CTO and Head of Synchronization at Net Insight. “We look forward to teaming up with GDS Technologies and Synch Industries to create a network for distribution of national time in South Africa.”
