Synchronized Time With Guaranteed Coverage

An Engineered Solution to provide synchronized time throughout sprawling campuses, dense construction materials, and dead zones with a powerful 72 MHz radio signal.

In widespread or densely constructed facilities, delivering synchronized time to every space is challenging when network-based solutions alone are asked to penetrate basements, reinforced concrete, and shielded areas. Primex Sync Radio 72 MHz is a patented solution specifically designed to overcome these obstacles and provide coverage for facilities of any size and layout. Experience dependable time in more areas, without extended network configuration or cable runs. 

Engineered Facilitywide Synchronized Time:

  • In-house Primex engineers design every Primex Sync Radio 72 MHz solution using building plans and campus layouts to determine transmitter placement and power levels that guarantee coverage in the furthest corners of your facility. 
  • The transmitter acquires its time source from a sub-second-accurate GPS or NTP time source, then rebroadcasts that signal throughout the facility, synchronizing every clock and allowing for automatic daylight saving time changes without manual intervention.
  • Choose from a full assortment of clocks, including sleek digital displays and customizable analog clock options to fit any aesthetic or functional need. 

How Network Time is Superior to Master Clock Systems

Many organizations still struggle with maintenance headaches and risks from complex, legacy master clock systems in hospitals. Primex Sync utilizes a resilient network time server that eliminates the single point of failure inherent in these older solutions. You gain straightforward reliability without the need for constant upkeep.

Trusted for Time. Counted on in Crisis.

Primex has been a proven, dedicated industry leader in synchronized time for over 80 years. Our systems are designed to scale from a single school to an entire distict and maintain the same level of reliability that over 16,000 locations count on.

Whether your campus can best utilize our patented 72 MHz Radio Frequency, Bluetooth® Low Energy, Wi-Fi, or a PoE wired system, our knowledgeable and proven staff are standing by to discuss how Primex Sync can fit perfectly into your plans.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I want to use Primex Sync Radio 72 MHz over other wireless synchronized time solutions?

The Primex Sync Radio 72 MHz technology features a strong, dedicated radio transmission channel that can reach far and wide across large campuses or facilities. The radio 72 MHz signal doesn't rely on Bluetooth® or Wi-Fi channels, which are typically noisy and come with an increased chance of signal interference.  

Do I need to worry about FCC Licensing?

FCC licensing is required for Primex Sync 72MHz Radio Transmitters. Primex simplifies the process by coordinating with the FCC to ensure proper frequency registration, conflict-free installation, and renewals. Licenses are valid for 10 years, and users receive the full benefits of a licensed frequency, including a more reliable signal, minimal interference, and maximum coverage.

What is the difference between Radio 72 MHz and an Atomic Clock?

Atomic clocks are controlled by the WWVB radio frequency signal, an AM signal from Colorado. Due to the frequency used, atomic clocks are susceptible to interference, including those located in basements, buildings with thick walls, or nearby electrical devices.

A Primex Sync Radio, on the other hand, utilizes a 72 MHz transmitter located on campus, reducing the signal travel distance from the transmitter to each clock, and using a frequency better suited for penetration. The Primex Sync Radio 72 MHz signal is an engineered solution that guarantees wireless synchronized time. 

  • "Of all the systems we looked at, we immediately knew that Primex Wireless was the best one for our needs, and they have not let us down. The system works great, and we loved the way it synchronizes through our existing network."

  • “Our hospital campus is large, but the Primex clocks were still a breeze to install, especially since hardwiring wasn’t required”
