Symmetricom Demos IEEE 1588 Version 2 PTP Solutions at ISPCS 2007's
Plug-fest
(Wireless News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)
Symmetricom, a provider of precise time and frequency technologies that
accelerate the deployment and enable the management of next generation
networks, announced the company is demonstrating its latest IEEE 1588
Version 2 Precise Time Protocol (PTP) solutions at the 2007
International IEEE Symposium on Precision Clock Synchronization for
Measurement, Control and Communication (ISPCS) on Monday, October 1
-Wednesday, October 3, in Vienna, Austria.
Symmetricom is participating in Plug-fest, where vendors can test,
validate and demonstrate device and system interoperability.
During Plug-fest, Symmetricom is demonstrating its XLi Grand Master
Clock and its PackeTime server card fully integrated into Symmetricom's
SSU-2000 Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) system, both
supporting the IEEE 1588 Version 2.0 PTP, meeting the latest 1588
standards. The PackeTime server card leverages the time gating
technology delivering sub-microsecond time accuracy with stability to
commensurate with clock modules installed in the communication shelf.
The PTP functionality supports the default profile as defined by the
1588 Version 2.0 specification as well as the telecom profile based on
the ITU submission. The clock module will also demonstrate the probe
mode of operation to allow time and frequency data to be collected in
order to analyze the network capabilities of the next generation
network, providing services over the packet networks. This solution is
targeted at the telecommunication infrastructure market in order to
support the roll out of the next generation network.
The XLi Grand Master Clock is an ultra precise 1588 Version 2.0 PTP
clock supporting the latest 1588 Version 2.0 specifications as defined
by the standards body. The solution also incorporates peer to peer time
delay measurements to facilitate instantaneous calibration of network
delays targeted at the industrial automation and power utility markets
Further, with its ability to function as both master and slave and
available options such as TIET and Time Monitor software for
characterizing parameters such as time interval, delays and jitter, XLi
Grand Master Clock is an ideal test and validation tool for IEEE-1588
Version 2.0 products and systems. In addition XLi Grand Master clock
targets infrastructure applications in core markets.
"Symmetricom is committed to supporting IEEE 1588 Version 2.0 PTP
standards to address the telecom and government infrastructure, as well
as test and validation markets with complete products and services,"
commented John Hirsekorn, vice president of sales and marketing at
Symmetricom.
Any vendor participating in Plug-fest can test and validate their 1588
version 2.0 products using Symmetricom products that will serve as the
1588 Grand Master clock or a slave clock. Plug-fest integration and
interoperability testing will be conducted on October 1 with results
shown to conference participants on October 2.
ISPCS 2007 provides a forum for researchers and practitioners from
industry, academia and government involved in the area of precision
clock synchronization using IEEE 1588 or similar techniques and
protocols. The event is sponsored by the Austrian Academy of Sciences,
the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society and the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
In addition to the product demonstrations, Tim Frost, principal
technologist for Symmetricom, will present "Operation of IEEE 1588 PTP
v2 over a Telecoms Network -The Telecoms Profile" on Monday, October 1
during the Poster Session. Lee Cosart, systems technologist for
Symmetricom, will present, "Precision Packet Delay Measurements Using
IEEE 1588 v2" on Tuesday, October 2 during Session 3: Applications of
Synchronized Clocks.
