How accurate is Equinix Precision Time?

    Accuracy is measured as the maximum divergence between the time delivered by the service and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

    The typical accuracy for synchronization levels achieved by real users are:

    • NTP – 1-10 milliseconds, depending on the network implementation.
    • PTP – 50 microseconds or less, depending on the network architecture and other factors in the customer deployment.
