MPN #: TimeProvider 4100
When a network needs exact time, even a tiny drift can cause data loss, missed deadlines, or costly outages. Engineers and managers feel the pressure because timing errors affect everything from 5G traffic to power-grid coordination. The Microchip TimeProvider 4100 Series Release 2.5 Precise Timing Grandmaster solves this by delivering nanosecond-level synchronization across thousands of devices, keeping your whole system in lockstep.
Imagine a clock that never skips a beat, even when the power flickers or the network is busy. That is what this Grandmaster does. It is a high-performance timing hub built for telecom, utilities, and transport networks that must follow IEEE 1588 v2 and multiple PTP profiles. If you are tired of jitter, missed frames, or unreliable NTP, this device gives you a single source of truth for time and frequency.

We are retiring PICOPC Products MNHO-073, MNHO-048 and MNHO-043 and they have reached EOL (End Of Life) as we are introducing new products with better technology. We would recommend you to look into MNHO-095. For Untangle, pfSense, OPNsense, Windows 11, Proxmox VE etc. we recommend MNHO-095 whereas for Sophos, Kerio Control and Endian, we would recommend MNHO-069. (A complete list of supported OS can be found in each product's listing)
