As timing and synchronization has grown in importance within Critical Infrastructure networks, centralized management and visibility of this vital function has become essential to network operations. Applications such as 4G/LTE (and upcoming 5G) mobile networks, Smart Grid power station control, and high-frequency trading have increased the requirements for accurate and precise timing. As a result, centralized visibility and management of network timing has become essential for ensuring reliable network performance and the successful delivery of services. Microsemi’s TimePictra software platform provides measurement, monitoring, data analysis, and end-to-end visibility of networks containing critical timing needs at 10s, 100s, and 1000s of nodes.

TimePictra is a carrier grade software solution that provides Critical Infrastructure operators with a very broad and granular visibility of the synchronization network. TimePictra allows Critical Infrastructure to manage both the clocks in the network as well as the health and performance of PTP slave clocks distributed throughout the network—including clients not supplied by Microsemi.

TimePictra has recently been enhanced to support the BlueSky™ GPS Firewall as a managed network element including auto discovery and alarm reporting, Satellite Vehicle (SV) tracking details, latitude and longitude for mapping, and remote control. A future release of TimePictra will support the ability to dynamically upgrade validation rules within the BlueSky GPS Firewall.
