Telstra

Telstra's 1194 time service (commonly known as "George the speaking clock") has been running for decades providing a traceble and accurate time for all Australians. For over 4 years Informatel has powered Telstra's 1194 service. We understand what mission critical and accuracy is all about and time is no exception.

We all rely on time. Informatel has designed with our partners the National Measurement Institute (regulators of the national standard of time measurement which is part of the Australian government) a system without compromise.

Informatel’s core time system is a redundant pair of Rubidium Atomic Clocks which are maintained within 500 microseconds of UTC (AUS). The traceability of this clock to the National Measurement Institute (NMI) and UTC (AUS) is established by continuous monitoring and recording of data, on the basis of which regular NATA-endorsed reports are issued to Informatel by the National Measurement Institute.

Using our extensive infrasructure and capacity, our systems ensure that even during peak periods (daylight savings start/end and New Years Eve) that your call will get through.
