A new partner in the ecosystem's Small Cells category, Vectron's
VT-803 Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) was
recently tested and validated for both Network Time Protocol (NTP)
and Precision Time Protocol (PTP) with Symmetricom's SCr/SCe
SoftClocks. The solution combines a Symmetricom SoftClock (SCr for
residential deployments and SCe for enterprise) with embedded major
baseband processors and a Vectron oscillator.
"Vectron has supported Symmetricom's leading-edge timing
platforms for more than 15 years and our relationship continues to
grow," said Paul Gilbride, director
of product marketing at Vectron International. "With Vectron's TCXO
products, together we plan to meet the high performance and
cost-effective demands of synchronization solutions used in
residential and enterprise small cells deployments."
The transition to all-IP networks and the migration to 4G/LTE
networks demand strict timing and synchronization requirements.
Successful integration and interoperability are key to ensuring
that customers' end-to-end deployments will maintain service
continuity around the clock. To meet these requirements and support
the transition to packetized backhaul networks and 4G/LTE mobile
platforms, Symmetricom established the SyncWorld Ecosystem Program
to enable interoperability and cooperation among vendors delivering
on service providers' advanced network requirements.
"Highly precise oscillators are vital components of delivering
successful small cells deployments," said Manish Gupta, vice president of marketing and
business development for Symmetricom. "With the addition of Vectron
as a partner in the Small Cells category, we are delighted to
expand the family of oscillators that interoperate with Symmetricom
SoftClock solutions."
