"This is an important milestone for the mobile backhaul market
as it accelerates the transition from TDM to packet networks," said
Manish Gupta, vice president of
marketing at Symmetricom. "PTP is proven standards based technology
with a large ecosystem supporting interoperability and seamless
implementation in carrier networks of all sizes across the
world."
Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) has proved the successful
integration of Symmetricom's TimeProvider® 5000 IEEE 1588
Grandmaster Clock into their Mobile Backhaul solution and NetAct
management system with more than 75 deployments serving more than
60,000 cellular base stations worldwide.
"We are seeing solid traction for PTP globally, as carriers are
realizing that it is an ideal solution for ensuring service
continuity when migrating from TDM networks to packet," said Martin
Brundert, head of solutions management at Nokia Siemens Networks.
"NSN and Symmetricom have worked closely over two years on timing
over packet in our mobile backhaul solution and network management
and we look forward to continued collaboration between the two
companies."
Precision Time Protocol is an IEEE standard technology developed
for IP-based networks to deliver both frequency and phase
synchronization. IEEE 1588-based solutions are now widely deployed
across multiple Ethernet backhaul networks, and PTP is the one
technology that operators have come to rely on as legacy TDM
technologies are displaced by Ethernet. Symmetricom provides a
suite of best-in-class PTP solutions that address a wide variety of
applications ranging from precise synchronization and high-capacity
time stamping to the test and measurement of PTP networks.
