NPLTime®
We offer a timing solution disciplined and certified by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), the United Kingdom’s National Measurements Institute and Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) timekeeper, fully compliant with MiFID II RTS25 requirement.
NPLTime® is available in the London locations supported by ICE Global Network via a simple cross-connect or via access circuits in the surrounding London Metro area. The service is unique in offering our clients a time signal that cannot be disrupted by outside interference, is certified to meet the MiFID II timing traceability requirement and can be implemented quickly over dedicated infrastructure.
