About Symmetricom


Time is a critical variable in nearly every electronic system. Knowing a precise time and/or frequency becomes important whenever mission critical systems, such as telecommunications networks, must be synchronized or extremely accurate measurements are required. Symmetricom is the world leader in the generation, synchronization and distribution of precise time and frequency signals.

Symmetricom designs, manufactures and markets atomic clocks and network synchronization and timing solutions used in wireline and wireless telecom networks, space, defense and avionics systems, and enterprise IT networks. Our customers include network service providers, telecom equipment manufacturers, military and aerospace contractors, enterprises, as well as government and research facilities in over 90 countries around the globe.

Telecom Solutions Division
Symmetricom's Telecom Solutions division is the world's leading supplier of network synchronization and timing solutions to global communications companies. Proper synchronization is required to ensure voice and data integrity across any digital communications network. Our products control or synchronize the flow of information, voice, video, or data. Our solutions therefore play a critical role in the operation and quality of service in traditional narrowband voice and data networks as well as in broadband networks, enabling our customers to maximize network efficiency and quality of service.
  • Primary Reference Sources: All clocks in a synchronization network must be referenced (also known as traceable) to a primary reference source (PRS). These systems provide the highest quality time references for telecom networking as required by international standards.

  • Building Integrated Timing Supply and Synchronization Supply Units (BITS/SSUs): clocks that serve as the central office frequency and time source.

  • Network Management Software: solutions that facilitate the management of its synchronization equipment by allowing remote management, configuration and analysis.

  • Wireless OEM Components and Subsystems: Wireless base stations require high performance time and frequency standards for proper operation. These synchronization subsystem OEM products are designed for integration into end-products made by network equipment manufacturers.

  • G.shdsl Broadband: Symmetricom G.shdsl products enable high performance broadband-over-copper voice and data services for small and medium businesses.
