Abstract:
Technologies are described herein for time-synchronizing multiple remote network nodes concurrently with time beacons. A hub device in the network, at a preconfigured start time, begins to periodically broadcast time beacons containing current time values retrieved from an accurate time source over a beacon period, while other nodes of the network, at the same preconfigured start time, start listening for time beacons. When a node receives a time beacon broadcast by the hub device, the node sets a real-time clock of the node to the current time value in the received time beacon.

Claim (Index 33):
The system of  claim 32 , wherein the one or more beacon channels comprise a pair of hailing channels, wherein repeatedly broadcasting time beacons by the collection hub comprises periodically broadcasting time beacons on alternating hailing channels, and wherein listening for time beacons on the one or more beacon channels by the child node comprises repeatedly listening on alternating hailing channels for a listening period until a time beacon is detected.
