LANTIME M250: High-Performance NTP Time Server in a Compact Chassis
The LANTIME M250 network time server is designed by Meinberg to offer superior NTP server performance in a medium or small sized network environment. Constructed to order with a selection of signal receivers to enable you to synchronize your time server to the remote timing signal that you trust most. Our LANTIME M250 can be built to support timing signals from any of the main satellite navigation systems in operation (GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, GLONASS) or from a long-wave timing signal radio service (e.g MSF or DCF77).

Product Description
Meinberg's custom Linux-based LANTIME OS, a slim & secure operating system developed specially for the needs of a time server, powers the LANTIME M250 under the hood, providing access to all the security, network, and monitoring features that you could ever need from an enterprise-grade synchronization appliance.
The powerful Web UI enables you to quickly and easily configure and monitor your LANTIME device, while the CLI provides power users with unparalleled flexibility and efficiency. The comprehensive LANTIME OS REST API provides a complete toolset for your network orchestration and automation needs, and SNMP support allows you to integrate your Meinberg systems into your existing network management system.
Oscillator Options
The LANTIME M250 is shipped as standard with a “TCXO” (temperature-controlled crystal oscillator), which provides excellent holdover performance if your server loses synchronization with its upstream reference for any reason. The LANTIME M250 may also be shipped on request with a more powerful holdover solution (OCXO LQ/SQ/MQ/HQ/DHQ).
