IEEE 1588 Blades for the SSU 2000 and TimeHub
Delivers IEEE 1588 carrier class performance, scalability, availability and security
Your networks must meet demanding new IEEE 1588 requirements. Plug Symmetricom IEEE 1588 Blades into your SSU 2000 or TimeHub 5500 Synchronization Supply Units for superior stability and protection.
Carriers have long relied on the Synchronization Supply Unit to meet all physical layer synchronization requirements with five-nines availability. Now with high performance IEEE 1588 (PTP) grandmaster servers on a card, the SSU 2000 and TimeHub 5500 platforms can deliver carrier class PTP to meet demanding NGN packet-based requirements. Symmetricom IEEE 1588 Blades provide the performance, scale, availability, and security to deliver carrier class synchronization to remote PTP clients over Ethernet networks.
Flexible Scalability
Symmetricom IEEE 1588 Blades can be installed as single servers or redundant pairs in any available master or expansion shelf output slot. PTP capacity scales up at a rate of up to 400 full rate clients for each added card. Front-access PTP traffic ports utilize Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) modules for flexibility to support 100 BaseT electrical or 1000 Base-X optical or electrical interfaces.
