Like NTP, SNTP synchronises computer clocks on a network but is used when the full application of NTP is not needed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The purpose of SNTP is to make it less complicated for computer servers to access a UTC time source.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To do this, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.galsys.co.uk\/news\/sntp-vs-ntp\/\">SNTP<\/a><\/strong> synchronises the time display on a computer with a server that has already been synchronised by another source &#8211; for example, a radio, satellite receiver or a modem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>What is the difference between SNTP &amp; NTP? <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">SNTP uses the same process as NTP to source time. However, SNTP does not use the complicated filtering rules needed to maintain precise time. SNTP is often used when total time accuracy is not needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">NTP follows much more complicated rules to achieve a time accuracy that is so precise an entire network of computers all show the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>UTC Questions Answered<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>What is UTC?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the time source that is most often used across the world to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.galsys.co.uk\/categories\/time-synchronisation\/time-synchronisation.html\">synchronise timekeeping devices<\/a><\/strong>.
