Data Centers

Radio One/ CSE Crosscom provides a reliable Global Positioning System (GPS) solution that synchronizes vital Universal Time Codes (UTC) across the facility. 

As a specialist in RF signaling Radio One/CSE Crosscom is experienced in designing, deploying and maintaining GPS solutions to help update and synchronize the computers’ internal clocks to the Universal Time Coordinated (UTC), the global timing standard.  Radio One deploys GPS antennas to amplify and transmit the atomic clock across networks and ultimately synchronize servers’ internal clocks to provide the microsecond-level timing accuracy necessary for database synchronization and log auditing. 

Radio One typically mounts an exterior antenna to the roof of the facility with a clear view and line of sight to receive satellite timing signals. These signals are processed by a PRC (Primary Reference Clock), which converts the signals into timing protocols like NTP (Network Time Protocol) or PTP (Precision Time Protocol).  The timing protocols are distributed across the Data Center by a series of antennas that help navigate any interference, latency or deterrents to the servers/computers.

Radio One/CSE Crosscom specializes in designing RF heatmaps to ensure the optimum installation of the radio frequencies distributing the timing protocol signals across the facility are not being compromised by server racks or other potential RF obstructions.

Radio One/CSE Crosscom has a rich history in deploying GPS location applications in conjunction with two-way radios.  

The day-to-day operations of a large-scale Data Center is amazing when you consider how fast and frequently information is processed and transmitted with remarkable efficiency and speed. The servers and processors in these data centers are communicating with each other at millions of times per second, processing transactions that must be not only secure but operate with constancy.  

System engineers, technicians, operational personnel and security must be efficiently routed to any disruptions and ideally be able to be precisely monitored and accounted for through-out the day.   

Radio One provides a two-way radio GPS solution that allows every radio transmission between personnel, as well as pre-programmed alarms and events to these radios to be time stamped and logged. This log is critical for incident reconstruction, investigations, and syncing radio audio with video surveillance and access-control reporting.  

Typically deployed on a Radio over Internet Protocol (RoIP), this GPS solution has a boundless application, as multiple sites and departments can be linked via the internet.   

Dispatch can monitor personnel locations on a facilities map in real-time and can dispatch the closest security or service technicians to the service call or incident. Additional features of the GPS radio app are the ability for designated personnel to receive text alerts such as a door breech, geo-fencing notifications when personnel enter restricted areas, and “man-down” feature when in panic or lone worker situations.  

Two-way Radio GPS applications are vitally critical in Data Centers to keep all communications precisely time-aligned and support dispatch and security operations with accurate reporting and tracking of personnel for timely and better incident coordination. 

Radio One/CSE Crosscom is uniquely positioned to support all your Data Center’s RF requirements.
