ESS Bilbao
- After an extensive study, White Rabbit has been chosen as the most promising option for the synchronization network at ESS Bilbao, a light ion linear accelerator. Therefore, first SPEC to SPEC tests have been performed. Now, with a White Rabbit switch a new set up will be tested to provide synchronization signals for ESS Bilbao's hydrogen positive ion source (ISHP) in the near future. For 2013 ESS Bilbao is planning to test PXI SPECs (SPEXI) which is the most suitable platform for the integration of White Rabbit into ESS Bilbao's general control system. (Oct.2012)

- The LHAASO project has passed the technical review on the WR timing distribution plan consists of 4 layers of WR switches (461 in total) covering 6880 nodes of KM2A. It would be able to provide both a timing link and synchronous data acquisition network to every detector front-end for a trigger-less scheme. For 2013 it is planned to deploy a small portion of array (40-50 nodes) in Tibet using cute-wr . (Sept.2012)
