SAN JOSE, Calif., April 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/
-- Symmetricom®, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYMM), a worldwide
leader in precision time and frequencytechnologies, today
introduced the Precise Time-Scale System, an industry leading,
turnkey timing system that allows government and national metrology
laboratories to easily establish a highly precise and reliable
timing reference without the need for various system components
from multiple vendors and complex customization. The Precise
Time-Scale System comes completely operational in a unit as small
as one instrument rack, offering industry-leading frequency
stability and phase noise performance from a convenient, single
source. This translates into ease of operation, lower cost of
ownership and trouble-free maintenance during the life cycle of the
system.

For government agencies and metrology laboratories responsible
for establishing a reliable and accurate timing reference for
national or international time keeping, precision time-scale system
performance and reliability are mission-critical needs.
Historically, such systems required components from multiple
vendors, resulting in unpredictable performance, and complex
integration and on-going management. The Symmetricom Precise
Time-Scale System delivers local coordinated universal time (UTC)
in a time scale with state-of-the-art stability and phase noise
configured to perform in a single rack that is easy to use and
manage around the world.
Key features of the Precise Time-Scale System include:
- Multi-channel measurement
- A high performance Cesium clock
- Frequency accuracy of +/-1E-14
- Time accuracy to 10ns RMS to UTC
- World-class KAS 2 time-scale algorithm that estimates time
error of clocks
- Easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI)
The Precise Time-Scale System comes with measurement hardware
and software, a real-time clock with a variety of outputs, a
database server, battery backup equipment, as well as on-site
installation and training provided by Symmetricom. In addition, the
system can be upgraded to add two additional Cesium clocks to the
rack and three Cesium or MHM2010 Active Hydrogen Clocks externally
to improve the system's overall performance.
"By leveraging the world's most widely adopted frequency
standards for UTC generation, Symmetricom's Precise Time-Scale
System offers best-in-class timing accuracy," said Dr. Samuel Stein, chief scientist at Symmetricom.
"Whether used by national metrology labs or government agencies,
this is an ideal solution for cost-effectively maintaining a
reliable timing reference for use in a region."
The patented KAS-2 time-scale algorithm that is used in the
Precise Time-Scale System is currently operating in more than 25
installations worldwide. To learn more about the Symmetricom
