SIG-TFN (Time and Frequency Network) aims at providing a forum for the community working around Time and Frequency distribution across Research and Education Networks. It will gather and exchange experiences, ideas and knowledge on the development, deployment, testing and standardisation of Time and Frequency solutions, leading to the development of a Core-Time and Frequency Network (C-TNF). The SIG has an advisory role to GEANT GPPC and relevant project management/coordination function.
