The basic features

The link to the UTC scale, operated by UFE AV ČR, is ensured by optical transmission, and by an independent comparison by means of GPS receiver.

Přesný čas
  • We run NTP servers of own construction with stable time base. The server clock accuracy is within microseconds;
  • Own atomic time scale in the form of caesium-standard clock linked to the UTC scale;
  • The service is provided is an open mode (non-authenticated), or in an authentication mode when a time information is signed by a server key.

The service is primarily aimed at members and other entities running own NTP servers at a lower level, or those with no time servers. At present, the service is operated as open.

The service is available to the public free of charge.
