Tactical data links such as Link 16 and Link 22 rely on one fundamental requirement: every participant must share the same highly accurate time reference.
Without precise synchronization, the consequences can be significant:
• TDMA timeslot misalignment
• Loss of network synchronization
• Reduced operational performance
• Interoperability issues between platforms
That’s why a resilient and accurate time reference is a cornerstone of any mission-critical architecture.
The TimeLink TMG5121 is specifically designed to provide this trusted timing source. Disciplined by a dedicated multi-constellation GNSS receiver, it incorporates a high-stability OCXO oscillator that ensures excellent holdover performance whenever the external reference is temporarily unavailable.
The TMG5121 can simultaneously generate up to 8 programmable outputs, including:
✔ STANAG 4430
✔ STANAG 4372
✔ ICD-GPS-060 Have Quick
✔ IRIG-B
✔ 1 PPS
✔ NMEA ZDA
It also provides NTP services together with HTTP/HTTPS and SNMP monitoring, making integration into modern command-and-control and mission systems straightforward.
Whether deployed in a command center, aboard a naval platform, on an airborne system, or within a test and integration laboratory, a reliable time reference is essential to maintaining synchronized tactical communications.
TMG5121 — Delivering the precise timing that keeps Link 16 and Link 22 networks operating seamlessly.
