Precision Synchronization: the Backbone of Modern Power Transmission Networks

Clepsydra: Precision That Powers the Grid

In the era of intelligent energy, time is the most critical variable. Modern Power Transmission Networks are managed by WAMPAC systems, the smart heart of grid control, where every millisecond counts.

These systems depend on Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) to track energy flows in real time. But when synchronization falters, even slightly, the consequences can cascade: desynchronized PMUs, misaligned phase data, and false commands from Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) that can destabilize entire networks.

Clepsydra eliminates this risk

It provides a secure, redundant, and verifiable time synchronization layer that keeps the grid perfectly aligned, even in the face of GPS disruptions or cyber threats.

It provides a secure, redundant, and verifiable time synchronization layer that keeps the grid perfectly aligned, even in the face of GPS disruptions or cyber threats.

With Clepsydra, every node, from PMUs to IEDs, operates on a trusted and tamper-proof time reference, built on:

  • Absolute precision from multi-source time references (GNSS, network protocols, and atomic standards)

  • Continuous resilience through intelligent redundancy and autonomous holdover

  • Advanced security with cryptographic protection against spoofing and manipulation

As 5G connectivity brings real-time telemetry to the energy sector, Clepsydra ensures that tomorrow’s power grids stay synchronized, secure, and smarter than ever, turning time into a true strategic asset.

Telco sector application

5G Networks & Edge Intelligence

As 5G evolves toward cloud-native and distributed architectures, sub-microsecond synchronization becomes mission-critical.
Clepsydra ensures perfect timing continuity across Radio Access Networks (RAN), Edge Nodes, and Core Systems, delivering:

  • IEEE 1588 / PTP precision with GNSS integration and resilient holdover.

  • Tamper-proof synchronization protected from GPS spoofing or jamming.

  • End-to-end visibility with real-time clock assurance monitoring.

  • Full compliance with 3GPP, ITU-T, and ETSI secure timing standards.

Applications: Fronthaul and backhaul 5G timing, time slicing, DU–CU alignment, mobile edge orchestration.

Secure Cloud & Network Operations

As Telcos migrate to virtualized and multi-cloud infrastructures, timing becomes a shared security and performance anchor.
Clepsydra provides cryptographically trusted timestamps and resilient synchronization across hybrid environments, ensuring:

  • Consistent timing across distributed VNFs and CNFs.

  • Secure log integrity and traceability for forensics and compliance.

  • Automatic anomaly detection to prevent desynchronization attacks.

  • Integration with network orchestration and monitoring systems.

Applications: Cloud-native network functions (NFV/SDN), audit and compliance logging, lawful intercept, SLA verification.

Finance sector application

In global finance, time is the foundation of trust

Precision & Compliance in Trading Environments

Financial markets move at the speed of light, and regulators expect time to keep up.
Under MiFID II, FINRA, and SEC regulations, trading systems must align within strict microsecond-level tolerances.
Clepsydra ensures this compliance through:

  • Ultra-accurate PTP (IEEE 1588) synchronization with verified traceability.

  • Cryptographically signed timestamps for trade events and transaction logs.

  • Multi-source redundancy (GNSS, terrestrial, and atomic references) for uninterrupted precision.

  • Regulatory audit support with full time-chain transparency.

Applications: High-Frequency Trading (HFT), Market Data Dissemination, Post-Trade Validation, Regulatory Reporting.
