MOBATIME is a leading centre of expertise for time synchronization, providing reliable time references and distribution solutions for mission-critical infrastructures worldwide.

In the power transmission and distribution sector, accurate and resilient time synchronization is a fundamental requirement for protection, automation, monitoring and event analysis. As substations and grid infrastructures evolve towards digital architectures, availability and continuity become even more critical, especially during transition phases where digital and legacy systems must coexist.

At Power Transmission & Distribution Technology Expo 2026, MOBATIME will present approaches for high-availability time synchronization architectures for modern power grids. The focus will be on redundancy concepts such as PRP and HSR, enabling seamless, zero-recovery communication, as well as on the integration of Ethernet-based technologies alongside established timing signals.

Using real-world deployment scenarios, MOBATIME will demonstrate how grid operators and system integrators can introduce digitalization step by step, without compromising reliability or forcing premature replacement of proven infrastructure. Reference architectures based on platforms such as the DTS 4163.grandmaster illustrate how a single time source can support both next-generation digital substations and existing legacy environments.
