TAILORED TO TELECOM, 5G & IoT INDUSTRY

WE SOLVE THE INDUSTRY ISSUE SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO

PRECISION & ACCURACY

Develop high-precision time synchronization solutions using technologies like Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) to ensure accurate timing. Regularly calibrate and monitor systems to maintain precise synchronization.

TIMEBEAT O-RAN
SYNCHRONISATION SOLUTION

Open Time Server

Out-of-the-box grandmaster appliance. Resilient, reliable and performance-tuned for sync distribution in a compact 19” form factor. Our Open Time Servers hold modular timing systems that enable IEEE-1588 PTP, NTP, PPS and SyncE. High Capacity cards make network integration simpler than ever with port speeds ranging from 1GbE to 200GbE.

 

Break with the tradition of a closed box grandmaster and use Open. Integrate with your internal monitoring systems and network support units, Open Time Servers run Linux OS capable of deploying 3rd party apps.

PTP + Squared Mesh

Traditional PTP distribution trees have multiple points of failure, they are also susceptible to asymmetries. A mesh based system creates a clock chorum which synchronises based on consensus. Through consensus PTP+Squared can analyse and mitigate asymmetries in the network creating greater precision in sync and more stability. Add resilience and validity you PTP synchronisation with PTP+Squared, and the best thing, it is still standard IEEE1588 Unicast PTP so works in the cloud, on-prem and hybrid environments.

Open Timecard

Speed up and simplify sync deployments with our plug-and-play PCIe grandmaster clock cards. Onboard network ports distribute IEEE-1588 PTP, NTP, and SyncE, and a selection of frequency outputs is customisable to suit any use case from 1Hz to 1MHz.

 

Integrate with any device with a PCIe slot. Resilient PNT capabilities including anti-jam and anti-spoof technology make this ideal in any critical infrastructure environment from finance to defence.

01

O-RAN requires synchronisation at the DU (Distribution unit), CU (Central unit) & RU (Radio unit). 

02

Interoperability is the key to success as the very nature of O-RAN means that there are many build varieties and manufacturers involved in the system.

03

A standardised synchronisation strategy is best as the various O-RAN devices could sit on a network stack, the mother board or both.
