As utilities continue to modernize their transmission and distribution infrastructure, reliable and highly available time synchronization has become a critical component of digital substations. Modern communication standards such as IEC 61850, together with Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and redundant Ethernet architectures including PRP and HSR, provide the foundation for resilient protection, automation and monitoring systems.

At Power Transmission & Distribution Technology Expo 2026, MOBATIME will demonstrate how utilities can successfully transition towards digital substations without replacing proven legacy infrastructure. The company will present synchronization solutions that support both modern Ethernet-based technologies and established timing interfaces such as IRIG-B, PPS and serial protocols, enabling a phased and risk-controlled migration.

A key highlight will be the DTS 4163.grandmaster, a high-performance synchronization platform designed for mission-critical applications. Supporting multiple synchronization sources, IEC 61850-9-3, IEEE C37.238, PRP and HSR redundancy as well as traditional timing outputs, it provides a reliable foundation for both new digital substations and hybrid environments.

Visitors are also invited to attend MOBATIME's technical presentation, where practical approaches to implementing resilient time synchronization architectures for digital substations will be discussed using real-world deployment scenarios.

Visit MOBATIME at Booth 10068 in the Grid Resilience Feature Zone to learn how future-ready synchronization can be implemented while protecting existing infrastructure investments.
