IEEE 1588 Clients
Ethernet and IP are rapidly replacing traditional TDM circuit infrastructure in the communications network. This creates "timing islands" in the network, potentially causing service impairments. Mobile services are especially vulnerable as they require precise synchronization at base stations. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method to deliver synchronization via the packet network. Symmetricom's IEEE 1588-2008 client portfolio offers just such a solution. It includes three flexible client options for both carriers and network equipment manufacturers.
