Home > Synchronous network

In telecommunication, a synchronous network is a network in which clocks are controlled to run, ideally, at identical rates, or at the same mean rate with a fixed relative phase displacement, within a specified limited range.

Ideally, the clocks are synchronous, but they may be mesochronous in practice. By common usage, such mesochronous networks are frequently described as synchronous.

Synchronous rotationIn astronomy, synchronous rotation is a planetological term describing a body orbiting another, where the orbiting body takes as long to rotate on its axis as it does to make one orbit; and therefore always keeps the same hemisphere pointed at the body it	Synchronous failureAccording to peace and conflict theorist Thomas Homer-Dixon, synchronous failure is a symptom of an overly complex and interconnected global society and economy.
