The foundation of the Next Generation Network (NGN) is a packet-based transport. In both wireline and wireless telecommunications networks the network transition from traditional Time Division Multiplex (TDM) networks to packet technologies started many years ago and gradually the deployment of packet equipment is migrating to the access networks. It is expected that some parts of the network will continue to use TDM elements for the next 5 to 10 years until they reaching end-of-life. Thus, the network today is hybrid with a mix of circuit and packet technologies, particularly in the access and metro layers.
In the world of broadband cable, operators are in a fierce market battle to innovate their competitive service platform for future success. They are rapidly escalating current services to satisfy hungry consumer demand for high-speed, high-bandwidth networks, and are looking to build secure, fast and cost-effective, state-of-the-art network infrastructures to run these new applications.
This transition and evolution of these networks has two main implications for timing and synchronization. First, the network infrastructure still requires synchronization for service continuity. And second, additional timing requirements are emerging due to new services now deployed over packet networks. Hence, the need for timing and synchronization of the network is not diminishing but actually transcending and transmuting into new requirements and new technologies.
Symmetricom offers comprehensive timing and synchronization solutions for wireline, wireless and cable networks.
