The transition to all-IP networks and move to 4G/LTE networks
demand strict timing and synchronization. Successful integration
and interoperability are key to ensuring that customers' end-to-end
deployments will maintain service continuity without interruption.
To meet these requirements and support the transition to packetised
backhaul networks and 4G/LTE mobile platforms, Symmetricom
established the SyncWorld Ecosystem Program to enable
interoperability and support cooperation among the manufacturers
and suppliers who will deliver products for service providers'
advanced networking requirements.
"Precise timing and synchronization are essential for successful
deployment of small cells," said Claude
Lee, President at Pletronics. "With small cells placing
extreme demands on the reference oscillator for timing solutions,
the strategic partnership with Symmetricom will allow us to meet
industry needs as these rollouts continue."
The addition of Pletronics to the newly launched SyncWorld
Ecosystem Small Cell Category will provide further benefits for
network equipment and small cell manufacturers by offering
state-of-the-art precision timing solutions. Specifically, the
Pletronics temperature compensated voltage controlled crystal
oscillators (TCVCXO) provide the precision and accuracy essential
for the Symmetricom SCr/SCe software for Network Time Protocol
(NTP) and Precision Time Protocol (PTP).
"We welcome Pletronics as the latest member to the Small Cells
Category of our SyncWorld Ecosystem program," said Manish Gupta, vice president of marketing and
business development for Symmetricom. "As small cells continue to
gain momentum, it's important to have partners such as Pletronics,
a leading supplier of high-quality crystals and oscillators, to
meet service providers' timing and synchronization
requirements."
As part of its effort to educate the mobile industry on the
importance of timing and synchronization, Symmetricom will be
presenting at the upcoming Mobile World Congress, taking place
February 25-28, 2013 at the Fira Gran
Via, Barcelona, Spain, and
showcasing its comprehensive portfolio of standards-based solutions
for small cells and LTE deployments. Additionally, Symmetricom will
launch a new series of advanced synchronization solutions
specifically designed to support small cell and LTE deployments at
the show.
