Enta ds8
NENA Compliant
The ENTA includes both a built in GPS receiver and an IRIG B decoder, accommodating multiple time reference
inputs for high availability. This is supplemented by a built in disciplined oven controlled crystal oscillator that
provides continuous holdover timekeeping accuracy in the event that GPS or IRIG reference signals are lost.
A built in SNTP web-server provides a secure user friendly interface for configuring the unit while internal signal
level monitors, continually check all outputs to enable rapid fault detection and isolation.
These units are typically specified for secure high integrity installations and are readily integrated as fully dual
redundant systems using standard signal distribution units. The standard ENTA-II is NENA compliant and is
available both as a standard commercial product or as a qualified product in some military applications.
