Located in central China, Shangqiu, Henan Province plays a strategically important role in China’s national transportation network. It is home to the national low-frequency time code transmission station, making it one of the country’s core hubs for precision timing signals.
Shangqiu Railway Station, founded in 1913, is a premier rail junction integrating multiple major routes, including:
Longhai Railway
Zhengzhou–Xuzhou High-Speed Railway
Shangqiu–Hangzhou High-Speed Railway
Beijing–Kowloon High-Speed Railway
Beijing–Xiong’an–Shangqiu High-Speed Railway
As a top-tier (Special Class) railway station, Shangqiu serves as a starting and central interchange point for several national high-speed lines. To ensure punctual train dispatching and unified monitoring time, the station selected the SyncTimeHub TQ5500 Time Synchronization System to upgrade its operational timing infrastructure.

Shangqiu Railway Station required a timing solution that could:
Provide highly accurate, unified timing for dispatching and command systems
Maintain synchronization across monitoring, signaling, and station control platforms
Support 24/7 stable operation with rail-grade reliability
Integrate with existing communication and security environments
TQ5500 system was deployed as the station’s unified time source, delivering precise satellite-based timing for both railway scheduling and real-time monitoring platforms.
Multi-system satellite reception (Beidou/GPS)
Sub-microsecond time synchronization accuracy
Redundant timing architecture to ensure system uptime
Secure and stable output for control centers and monitoring rooms
Supports NTP/PTP/serial time code output for seamless integration
| Benefit | Result Delivered |
|---|---|
| Train Punctuality | Unified time improves dispatching precision and reduces schedule deviation |
| Operational Safety | Accurate timestamps enhance event tracking and emergency response |
| Monitoring Alignment | Video, signaling, and control systems remain time-consistent system-wide |
| Improved Efficiency | Standardized timing reduces manual calibration and maintenance workload |
| Scalable Architecture | Ready for future upgrades to smart railway and intelligent station platforms |
