Here at HIPER Global UK and Sarsen Technology, we love a good success story, especially when it involves cutting-edge technology, aerospace innovation, and absolute, uncompromising precision.
That’s why we are thrilled to announce that our long-term timing partners,
Masterclock, are exhibiting at the
Farnborough International Airshow (FIA) 2026 from 20–24 July!
If you are navigating the future of flight, defense, or space, or just need to make sure your mission-critical systems run in perfect synchronisation - the Masterclock booth is an absolute must-visit.
Location: Farnborough Airport, Hampshire, UK
Booth: Hall 3, Stand 3133
The Main Event: The GMR6000 Grandmaster Clock
While Masterclock has an incredible portfolio of world-class timing solutions, the undisputed star of their stand this year is the brand new
GMR6000 Grandmaster Clock & Time Server. Designed to excel in highly secure, demanding defense and aerospace environments, the GMR6000 is essentially the ultimate mission commander for network time synchronisation.
GMR6000 is equipped with internal Rubidium or high-stability OCXO options, and guarantees critical holdover accuracy to keep your networks in sync even if GNSS signals are lost or denied. The advanced anti-jamming and anti-spoofing detection, along with closed-source firmware and AES-256 SSH encryption is designed specifically to meet strict defense security requirements.
It seamlessly acts as a PTP (IEEE 1588) grandmaster, NTP server, and time code generator all at once, bridging the gap between modern IP networks and legacy timing systems.
and is capable of of synchronising to GPS, GNSS, IRIG-B, or PTP reference. The GMR-6000 includes fully customisable Masterports which can output IRIG, SMPTE, video/audio sync and more, and supports power redundancy with AC and DC options.
While advanced military jets are pushing performance boundaries above the airfield, the GMR6000 is down on the ground ensuring that telemetry, communications, and command networks are synchronised down to the single-digit nanosecond for true precision.
Let's Sync Up!
With decades of collective experience in embedded COTS, ruggedised computing, and precision hardware integration, HIPER Global UK, Sarsen Technology and and Masterclock are a natural fit. Together, we help UK and Irish engineering teams solve the most complex timing, processing, and system-design challenges.
If you’re heading to FIA 2026, plot a course to Hall 3, Booth 3133 to see the GMR6000 in action, talk with the Masterclock experts, and meet with Nick Shute and Tim Norris to discuss how to integrate Masterclock’s precision timing directly into your next custom-configured rugged computer platform.
