Nanosecond-accurate PTP and NTP from 5 sites, each with multiple Rubidium-backed clocks, across the US, EU and APAC. Standard protocols, zero infrastructure to rack, no GNSS antennas to maintain. Deployed in minutes — priced per location, not per device.
Why a managed feed
You might be on AWS. You might be in a shared colo. You might be a fast-growing team that can’t justify a rack unit of dedicated timing hardware yet. Or you might just be tired of renewing GNSS antenna contracts every three years. Timing Feed Service gives you the same nanosecond-grade timing our hardware customers get — without owning, racking or running anything.
How it works
Step 01
Point your clients at the nearest TimeBeat PoP — via PTP, NTP or our managed agent. Standard protocols, standard clients. No custom SDK, no weird vendor stack.
Step 02
The PoPs distribute UTC-traceable time from Rubidium-backed grandmasters at each region. You get sub-microsecond accuracy from the first packet.
Step 03
Every synchronised client can stream telemetry into Sync Insight for historical replay, compliance reports and alerting — pair the two services for end-to-end proof.
Global coverage
Five points of presence, each with multiple Rubidium-backed grandmasters and anti-jam GNSS, spread across the United States, Europe and Asia-Pacific so UTC-traceable time is close to wherever your systems run. The full location map is coming soon.

Subscription tiers
All tiers include onboarding, multi-region failover and full platform access. Annual billing available. Pair with Sync Insight for end-to-end attested timing — billed separately.
For teams getting started with managed precision timing.
From £500*
/ location / month
For production deployments that need strict accuracy and compliance.
From £4,500
/ location / month
For the most demanding, regulated and scale-sensitive environments.
Custom
All tiers are priced per location, per month. * Starter from £500 / location / month applies to sites already connected to the TimeBeat network; new connections are quoted individually.

Pair with Sync Insight
Timing Feed delivers the time; Sync Insight proves it arrived correctly. Running both gives you end-to-end attested timing — from the national UTC reference at the PoP through to every device in your estate. Separately priced, one invoice, 60-day break clause on each.
Request access
Tell us which regions you need, how many endpoints you’re syncing and what compliance framework applies. We’ll come back within one business day with a tailored onboarding plan and exact pricing.

Guides on PTP fundamentals, network design, and when managed feed makes more sense than owning the hardware.
A virtual grandmaster clock is an IP endpoint that looks like a single PTP grandmaster to downstream clients but is backed by multiple physical Timebeat Agents — redundancy, capacity and failover at the topology level, with a single client-facing configuration.
Why a single-grandmaster deployment is a DORA Article 11 problem, what A/B/C redundancy looks like in a single rack unit, and how the Open Time Appliance Shelf turns three independent Rubidium Black+ grandmasters — with independent GNSS antennas — into the default finance-venue topology for 2026 and beyond.
An engineering decision framework for picking oscillator tier on an Open Time Appliance. Drift maths that matter, real-world holdover scenarios, and where each tier is the right economic answer — not just the best spec sheet.
How the Timebeat Agent fuses GNSS, upstream PTP feeds, PPS inputs and oscillator discipline into a single weighted clock output — the same BIPM-style ensemble approach used to produce UTC itself, applied at the site level.
How PTP² Mesh turns a fleet of Timebeat Agents into a self-discovering, self-healing time distribution network. mDNS and DHT peer discovery, seat-based capacity, active-active operation and millisecond failover — for when you need redundancy without the rigidity of classical BMCA hierarchies.
What a PTP grandmaster clock actually does, how to choose one, and what separates a grandmaster you can trust from one that quietly drifts. Written by TimeBeat's engineering team for network architects deploying IEEE 1588 in production.
