Symmetricom Hosts International Telecom Union’s Telecommunication Standard Sector (ITU-T) Study Group
February 25 2010 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Symmetricom, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYMM), a major supplier of precise
time and frequency technologies, today announced the company will
host the International Telecom Union’s Telecommunication Standard
Sector (ITU-T) Study Group 15 on Monday, March 1 – Friday, March 5,
2010 at the company’s headquarters in San Jose, Calif. ITU-T Study
Group 15, which examines optical transport networks and access
network infrastructures for the global telecom community, will be
discussing Question 13, which specifically addresses network
synchronization and time distribution performance. Each year, the
ITU-T produces numerous standards and recommendations, defining a
broad range of principles that span topics from core network
functionality and broadband to next generation services.
WHAT: ITU-T Study Group 15 Meeting at Symmetricom
WHEN: Monday, March 1 – Friday, March 5, 2010
WHERE: Symmetricom, Inc., 2300 Orchard Parkway, San Jose,
California 95131
Network synchronization performance specifications are essential
for successful operation and integration of digital transmission
networks and associated switching and signaling systems. Question
13 has examined key issues regarding specifications and
recommendations on network synchronization issues related to
Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH), Synchronous Digital
Hierarchy (SDH) and Optical Transport Network (OTN). Since 2004,
the group has been examining issues related to synchronization and
timing in packet-based networks. Current work includes the
development of a telecom profile for IEEE 1588 Precision Time
Protocol (PTP) and the study of packet timing architectures and
metrics.
As leaders in the development of carrier-class synchronization
technology, Symmetricom is a natural choice to host this meeting.
Symmetricom is being represented by Lee Cosart, senior
technologist, as well as Tim Frost, principal technologist. Mr.
Cosart’s research and development activities include measurement
algorithm development and mathematical analysis for a variety of
test equipment for which he holds several patents. Mr. Frost
specializes in next generation synchronization techniques and
carrying real-time information over packet networks. ITU Study
Group 15 includes participation from numerous organizations around
the world.
Symmetricom will also have a technology exchange with key global
customers to discuss advances and solution futures for IEEE 1588
PTP and other technologies.
