Symmetricom Announces IEEE 1588 PTP v2 Grandmaster Clock for Precise Time and Frequency Measurement over Ethernet
September 23 2009 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Symmetricom®, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYMM), a worldwide leader in precise
time and frequency technologies that accelerate the deployment and
enable the management of next generation networks, today announced
the XLi IEEE 1588 PTP v2 Grandmaster, a GPS referenced grandmaster
clock and IEEE 1588 measurement and validation tool supporting
Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Version 2. Delivering ultra-precise
time and frequency synchronization over Ethernet networks, the XLi
IEEE 1588 Grandmaster contains a dedicated 1588 time stamp
processor and functions as an IEEE 1588 slave with the ability to
measure PTP client performance by assessing time transfer accuracy
across a network.
“IEEE 1588 PTP provides significant improvement in
synchronization over Ethernet networks along with tremendous cost
savings,” commented Ron Holm, product marketing manager at
Symmetricom. “Now, with added support for PTP Version 2, our XLi
IEEE 1588 Grandmaster continues to be the leading IEEE 1588
grandmaster clock in the industry. As one of the few vendors to
offer a complete PTP solution, Symmetricom’s grandmaster can help
aerospace and defense, test and measurement and power utility
customers to be confident in the synchronization performance of
their network equipment.”
Operating at 100 Base-T line speed with deep time stamp packet
buffers, the XLi IEEE 1588 Grandmaster supports over fifty slave
delay requests per second. Ideal for measurement purposes, the
grandmaster also operates as a 1588 slave, extremely useful for
network time transfer accuracy measurement involving a 1588 slave
separated from the XLi Grandmaster by network elements or topology.
The XLi Grandmaster can be configured with two 1588 ports,
operating as two independently configured grandmasters or as a
grandmaster and slave. Optional Symmetricom TimeMonitor software
collects and analyzes time interval data from the XLi
Grandmaster.
The XLi IEEE 1588 PTP v2 Grandmaster supports all the features
and functionality of its v1 predecessor, along with additional
features:
- Oscillator Options –
providing stability and redundancy with OCXO, high stability OCXO
and rubidium options
- Software Options and
Upgradeability – providing flexibility with software options
for the Network Time Server (NTP), frequency measure and
programmable pulse output are all available; upgradeable in the
field; XLi v1 to v2 upgradeable at the factory
- Time Code – time code
input (IRIG A, B; NASA 36, IEEE 1344), IEEE 1344 time code
input/output and multicode option for generating a wide range of
time codes to synchronize
Availability
The XLi IEEE 1588 PTP v2 Grandmaster will be available in
December 2009.
Symmetricom will be demonstrating the XLi IEEE 1588 PTP v2
Grandmaster at the Institute of Navigation (ION) GNSS 2009,
September 22-25, 2009, Savannah, GA, booth #717/719. For more
