Wi-Wi Stamp Syncs Time Wirelessly in a Nanosecond
In every industry, you’ll find systems that depend on synced operation. Imagine an assembly line where one machine tries to feed a part into a second machine before that second machine is ready to take it — disaster would follow. And the timing gets really sensitive in complex digital systems. Wi-Wi Stamp is a wireless time synchronization system that is absurdly fast and precise.
Wireless time synchronization is a big challenge. For most normal applications, like wireless routing, super-precise timing isn’t actually that important and we can get away with being “close enough.” But when timing is critical, engineers tend to resort to inconvenient wired connections. Famously, the New York Stock Exchange uses matched network cables lengths and other methods to ensure equal latency between traders, as even a small difference could impart an unfair advantage.
In this video, Jeff Geerling interviews Wi-Wi Stamp’s co-founder to dive into the...
