There are various varieties of clock systems offered on the market and each one of these systems has a different approach to timing. Wifi clocks are wireless but are different from transmitter based wireless clocks.
The advantages that accurate and dependable clocks give an organization cannot be underestimated. The clocks that employees, students, and management rely on make everything run efficiently should all display the same time. When this occurs meetings run on time, class changes occur smoothly and manufacturing operations perform at a better pace.
Wi-Fi clocks are the evolution of clock systems that started 60 plus years ago with the invention of wired clock systems. The history of clock systems began with companies like Simplex, IBM and Cincinnati. These were all hard wired systems and they enabled organization to have reliable time to effectively operate schools, colleges and businesses.
The transition from wired systems occurred around1999 when transmitter based wireless clock system became a viable alternative to wired systems. Wireless systems eliminated the need to have a wire tethered to a clock.
Wifi clocks are the next step forward for accurate clocks with all clocks showing the exact same second and automatically adjusting for daylight saving time. These analogue and LED Digital wireless clocks do not require you to install transmitters and repeaters to operate. If you have a Wifi network you can use it to have all the clocks displaying the same time all the time.
Our advanced technology allows for complete coverage of a university campus. You will see a variety of attributes and advantages offered with network clocks. An interesting characteristic of these systems is the reporting capability. The reporting is web based and allows you to access everything you ever wanted to know about your clock system.
If you deploy battery operated analogue displays the reporting capability enable to see the battery voltage to know when to change batteries. If a clock is offline or broken you will be able to note that. You can also see the Wifi signal strength for each time display
All these attributes combine to provide a superior maintenance free clock system.
Wired systems certainly have a place in the marketplace today. Wired systems eliminate any power concerns and produce accurate and reliable time. Transmitter based wireless clock systems are only relevant to organizations that do not have Wifi available.
If you need to have scheduled events such as a bell alert system or buzzer to ring this can occur with both a Wifi system and a wired system but this requirement needs to be planned prior to implementation your new clock system
The best practice when putting in a wireless system is to go with Wifi Clocks. The analog versions are available in a 5 year battery life so once you place it on the wall you will not touch it for 5 years. The Wifi Digital Clocks only need standard electric power and they will operate flawlessly day in and day out.
