American Time, a market leader in integrated time solutions, announced today that it now offers Wi-Fi network clocks that maintain accurate, synchronized time throughout a building and require no maintenance for five years. This new solution is ideal for companies or organizations that require a facility’s clocks to be synchronized, but may not have the capital resources for investing in the infrastructure needed for a more comprehensive wired or wireless timekeeping system.
Synchronized time is used in schools, hospitals, manufacturing facilities and other industries to keep precise time throughout a facility. It is crucial for optimizing the flow of occupants throughout a building, ensuring accurate recordkeeping for regulatory or insurance compliance, as well as building security and safety.
The American Time Wi-Fi network clocks receive a precise time signal from a facility’s network time server on a regular basis, which provides a customer with the same, accurate time on every clock. In addition, the clocks automatically update for Daylight Saving Time and have a five-year battery, saving a customer’s maintenance staff a significant amount of time by avoiding the need to manually change the clocks twice per year. The technology’s staggered wake times mean that customers will not notice any extra load or slow-down of their existing Wi-Fi system.
“The new American Time Wi-Fi- clocks are an excellent solution for organizations that want synchronized time but may not have the resources or need for a more robust wired or wireless system,” said Dieter Pape, president, American Time. “Without the requirements of additional equipment, license fees, managed services or other costs, our new offering gives more companies and organizations the ability to experience the benefits of synchronized time.”
St. Cloud State University, the second-largest public university in Minnesota, has installed Wi-Fi clocks in eight buildings throughout the campus. The university now has precise time with no discernible impact on the speed of its Wi-Fi network.
