Symmetricom has rolled out new capabilities for its TimeProvider 5000, a carrier-grade IEEE 1588-2008 Grandmaster Clock built to handle stringent frequency and phase requirements of next-generation networks.
Major enhancements include the addition of carrier-grade network time protocol (NTP), synchronous Ethernet (SyncE), and T1/E1 support to its precision time protocol (PTP) synchronization platform.
The TimeProvider 5000 Master Clock is touted as the first solution of its kind supporting legacy networks that will enable service providers to deploy the necessary synchronization protocols to support next-generation services.
