A device and a method for generating a secondary timing signal that is synchronous with a primary timing signal are presented. The method comprises deriving (401) an auxiliary timing signal from an auxiliary signal received at a first site and correcting (402, 403) the timing phase of the auxiliary timing signal so as to obtain the timing phase for the secondary timing signal. The timing phase is corrected with the aid of the following a) a constant phase shift between the auxiliary timing signal and another auxiliary timing signal derived in a second site where both the primary timing signal and the auxiliary signal are available and b) a dynamic phase shift between the other auxiliary timing signal and the primary timing signal at the second site.
