The Model 5402 Dante Leader Clock with GNSS Synchronization provides precise timing signals for applications that utilize the Dante audio-over-IP (AoIP) media networking technology. The unit implements a high-performance IEEE® 1588 precision time protocol (PTP) server, compatible with the requirements of Dante and capable of simultaneously supporting the timing needs of up to hundreds of Dante-compatible devices. As expected, the Model 5402 provides the PTPv1 (IEEE 1588-2002) compatibility that's required by Dante. In addition, the unit supports PTPv2 (IEEE 1588-2008) for AES67 applications. The unit includes an integrated GNSS (satellite) receiver to allow a precise timing reference to be acquired from the major constellations, including GPS, Galileo, and BeiDou. A multi-band GNSS antenna is included with each Model 5402.
