High-Precision Time Distribution Based on Optical Etherne

WR (White Rabbit) is a technology that combined the Gigabit Ethernet, Sync E, Precision Time Protocol (IEEE1588 v2) and digital phase tracking method to provide a sub nanosecond accuracy of time & frequency distribution method for thousands of devices spanning several kilometers. WR technology is compatible with standard Ethernet, introduces very few network bandwidth load, high integration with data transmission and advantage of low cost. This paper introduces the technical principles of WR technology, the measurement results of a small WR network with different topology are presented as well. The WR technology is an ideal solution for all applications that requires high precision time synchronization among multiple nodes over long distance, to act as a key supporting technology for the thriving ground enhancement navigation system.
