With the number of flights in the United Arab Emirates is growing, and there are major hubs like Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah investing into Bodet's Netsilon Time Server is more than just an option, it's crucial.
Why Time Synchronization Matters in Airports
Each airport's function depends on exact timing. Starting from Air traffic Control (ATC) coordination to departure boards, airport security system and the flight computer systems for data processing using a single time reference prevents mistakes and delay.
Imagine a flight itinerary with no accurate date stamps. A second delay and you could be at risk of communications breakdowns between control towers, missed connections or even weakened security protocols.
What is the Bodet Netsilon Time Server?
The Netsilon Time Server is a product from Bodet is an network time synchronization solution that offers high-precision, safe centralized time synchronization for IT as well as OT infrastructures. It makes use of GPS and Galileo, GLONASS and Precision Time Protocol (PTP) to ensure the most accurate levels of precision.
It's designed to meet the high standards of airports in which synchronization needs to be accurate, reliable and secure, even in most demanding situations.
Why UAE Airports Choose Netsilon
Multi-GNSS Support
Netsilon Time Server provides simultaneous reception for several satellite networks--a necessity for the busy aviation hubs, such as Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Abu Dhabi International Airport.
PTP & NTP Compatibility
The system supports Precision Time Protocol (PTP IEEE 1588) and Network Time Protocol (NTP) to allow compatibility with networks for air traffic as well as IT networks and security infrastructure.
Redundant Time Sources
Inbuilt oscillators (OCXO/Rubidium) guarantee continuous timekeeping regardless of satellite signals temporarily go away.
Cybersecure Architecture
This includes firewall protection, HTTPS access, SNMP monitoring and access control for users to guard against cyber-attacks, which is especially important in airports.
Scalable for Multi-Terminal Operations
Modular design can support complex airport structures. This makes it the ideal choice for UAE airports that have many Terminals, facilities for cargo as well as control rooms.
Applications of Netsilon in UAE Airports
Flight Scheduling & Coordination
The entire system--air traffic control gate allocation, ground handling--rely on time-synchronized clocks to ensure an efficient and safe process.
Communication Systems
Radio, radar as well as control towers require accuracy of nanoseconds to ensure rapid and clear communications.
Baggage Handling & Tracking
A precise time can help improve the efficiency of luggage route and also provides updates in real time for staff and passengers.
Surveillance & Access Control
All CCTV video footage as well as logs of access are time stamped using Netsilon essential for investigation and audit trail.
Emergency Response Coordination
It's a fire drill or medical emergency every minute counts. Bodet's time servers assist in coordinating the quickest and most effective responses.
Case Study: Dubai International Airport
With more than 80 million people using it each year, Dubai International Airport is one of the most busy airports in the world. The vast network of terminals and runways air traffic control systems and thousands of employees require the use of a time synchronization solution which is robust and scalable..
The use of Bodet's Netsilon Time Server allowed DXB to:
Eliminate discrepancies in scheduling systems
Enhance the accuracy of information displayed to passengers
Synchronize access and CCTV logs
Improve data integrity in airports systems
Supporting UAE Vision for Aviation Excellence
The strategy for aviation in the UAE in Vision 2031 is comprised of intelligent airport systems, modern air traffic control and digital change. Bodet's Netsilon Time Server plays an important role in:
Ensuring consistent data accuracy
Incorporating AI-driven airport analytics
Powering real-time decision-making for smarter operations
Integration & Maintenance
The integration of Netsilon Time Servers is simple and efficient:
