⏱️ While PTP (1588) and White Rabbit get the glory, VITA 49.2 bakes precision timing into the RF metadata itself. Think distributed phased arrays, TDOA geolocation, and MIMO over WAN links — all without a separate sync nightmare.
If you’ve ever tried to shove raw IQ samples over a standard Ethernet network, you know the pain: dropped packets, timestamp drift, mixed vendor chaos, and the sinking feeling that your “real-time” signal isn’t even in the right timezone. vita 49.2
If you’re designing an RF-over-IP system today and ignoring VITA 49.2, you’re building technical debt. If you’re already using it — you know why you’re not going back. ⏱️ While PTP (1588) and White Rabbit get
