TimeSource 3100

TimeSource™ 3100 is our stand alone office Primary Reference Source (PRS) with an integrated GPS receiver which allows your network to meet ITU-T G.811 network performance requirements.

Stratum 1
TimeSource 3100 provides undisturbed frequency and time Stratum 1 synchronization when locked to GPS. Upon loss of GPS, your network can continue Stratum 1 performance up to 72 hours with optional inputs.

Superior Performance
The key to TimeSource 3100's superior performance is its patented multiple input frequency locked loop BesTime™ clock engine. The BesTime engine, GPS receiver, and digitally controlled quartz local oscillator work together to produce precise timing outputs. You can add span line or remote oscillator inputs to increase system reliability and holdover performance in the event GPS signals are interrupted.

Easy to Install
The GPS antenna can be installed up to 300 meters from the office shelf, without amplifiers, using inexpensive thin coax cable.

Easy to Manage
You can easily manage TimeSource 3100 via Symmetricom's TimeScan element manager. The system is CE compliant and provides Sync Status Messaging (SSM).
