Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University (FAFU) is a key provincial university located in Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian Province. The university is recognized for its strengths in agricultural science, forestry, and life sciences, while also offering coordinated development across science, engineering, economics, management, humanities, law, and arts.
FAFU is:
A joint university supported by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the State Forestry and Grassland Administration, and the Fujian Provincial Government
A High-Level University of Fujian Province
A “Double First-Class” (Category A) university in Fujian Province
With a history dating back to 1936, FAFU has evolved into a comprehensive research-oriented university and plays a vital role in agricultural innovation, scientific research, and talent cultivation in China.
As part of its ongoing smart campus and scientific research infrastructure development, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University required a high-precision, stable, and centrally managed time synchronization system.
Accurate time is critical for:
Scientific experiments and data comparison
Network system logs and auditing
Teaching and research coordination
Campus-wide IT system consistency
The university sought to deploy a Beidou-based time synchronization solution capable of achieving microsecond-level accuracy, while remaining compatible with its existing campus network and scalable for future expansion.
High-Precision Time Synchronization
Direct synchronization with the Beidou Satellite Navigation System
Time deviation controlled within microseconds
Stability and Reliability
Continuous, stable operation under complex research and network environments
Strong anti-interference capability
Ease of Deployment and Management
Simple installation and configuration
Reduced operation and maintenance workload
Compatibility and Scalability
Seamless integration with existing campus network systems
