THE RIGHT TIME. ALL THE TIME.
Primex Wireless President, Mark Abbott and Primex Chairman & CEO, Fred Koermer.
Breakthrough technologies have been one of the fundamental mechanisms through which the quality of our lives have improved. From the invention of the telephone, to the introduction of the photocopier, people are using these technologies to work more efficiently. Certainly, we don't yearn to return to the days of using manual typewriters! Facilities around the world have been waiting for a similar breakthrough technology to improve their clock systems. Most clock systems in facilities today are unsynchronized, inaccurate and expensive to install and maintain. Too often the problems that result simply go untreated due to high cost and complexity. Our engineering team solved this problem by developing the GPS Wireless Clock System. This innovative system wirelessly synchronizes all clocks in a building using perfect time from the clocks onboard GPS satellites. The patentpending Primex Wireless GPS Clock System is the most technologically advanced timekeeping system available today. It is simple and inexpensive to install and maintain. The introduction of the new GPS Wireless Clock System has been met with overwhelming success. This rigorously field-tested system, with guaranteed accuracy, is quickly becoming the system of choice for schools, hospitals, manufacturing plants, corporate structures and government facilities. We would like to join with you to promote change and increase productivity and efficiency in your facility. Contact us for a no-obligation, on-site demonstration today and learn how you can quickly and easily solve the problems in your facility created by time-based inaccuracies. You can't afford to wait!

The Primex Wireless Clock System uses GPS wireless technology to synchronize all the clocks in your facility – easily and affordably.
Here’s how it works: The GPS receiver captures a time signal from the U.S. government’s global positioning system (GPS) satellites and sends it to the transmitter. The transmitter then broadcasts the time to every Primex Wireless clock in your facility. The result? All of the clocks are synchronized to the exact second.
3 main system components make up the GPS Wireless Clock System: • The transmitter, capable of covering 250,000+ square feet • A GPS receiver that can be mounted on the rooftop or a window • An unlimited number of system clocks

Synchronized Solutions for Every Type of Facility For decades, clocks in facilities have proven unreliable, out-of-sync and a real nuisance for those responsible for maintaining accurate time. Primex Wireless consulted with facility managers across a wide spectrum of building types to determine what they wanted in a clock system. The criteria most often mentioned were: synchronization, accuracy, ease of installation, low maintenance and cost.
Primex Wireless is the solution to: People worldwide suffer the consequences of clocks that continually drift off-time and fail to adjust after power outages or for daylight saving time changes. The growing inaccuracy, starting with just a few seconds, inevitably leads to a lack of organizational synchronization, lower productivity and efficiency, and high maintenance costs.
