Planning Time Services

Time services are the mechanism for machines to automatically maintain synchronized system times.

Consider the following issues when planning your new cell:

· How many time servers will your cell require?

· Which time providers will your cell use? For example, will the cell use Spectracom, a time provider used on many platforms, especially by radio and other communication enterprises?

· Will you connect multiple time providers together and how?

See Setting Up Time Services for more detailed information on providing Time Services in a new cell.
