Multi-source UTC network time
UTC, served with
measurable precision.
Two public NTPv4 edges: Chicago, synchronized to an independent UTC ensemble, and Colorado, disciplined by a private GPS/PPS clock — each a cross-check on the other.

A private GPS/PPS-disciplined stratum-1 clock. It disciplines the Colorado edge and is monitored against Chicago. Constellation detail, jitter and receiver health are in the operator console (sign-in required).

Source policy NIST (Gaithersburg and Boulder), USNO, PTB, and Cloudflare NTS participate in an authentication-neutral UTC ensemble of fixed servers; no source is preferred and no pool.ntp.org name is used. Cloudflare packets remain NTS-authenticated. The Chicago edge never selects the local GNSS appliance; the Colorado edge (time-gps) is disciplined by it directly and shares no upstream with Chicago.

Terms of use
- Access
- Open to any NTPv4 client, no registration. Configure hostnames, never addresses:
server time.globalentry.systems iburstandserver time-gps.globalentry.systems iburst(the Colorado address is dynamic). - Fair use
- Poll every 64 s or slower; the standard
iburststart-up burst is fine. Per-client rate limiting drops excess requests instead of answering them. - Service level
- Best effort, no SLA. The edge reports itself unsynchronised rather than serve time it cannot vouch for. Leap seconds are announced, never smeared.
