Edge Clock
TimeProvider’s innovative architecture combine the tasks of tracking incoming timing references, qualifying the signals, filtering and distributing precise synchronization onto a single universal Input, Output and Clock card (IOC). Available in Rubidium or Quartz, a second IOC card can be added to provide full input, clock redundancy and output protection. Local and remote provisioning and management of the TimeProvider is performed through the Information Management Card (IMC).
MAIN SHELF
The TimeProvider main shelf houses the IMC, the IOCs, and the input and output connector modules. The main shelf provides up to 32 outputs or provide a mix of E1/T1 retimed spans up to a maximum of 8 retimer circuits per system. The optional expansion panel provides up to 32 additional outputs, allowing a maximum of 64 protected configurable outputs.
STAND ALONE PRS
An integrated GPS option allows the TimeProvider to be a standalone Primary Reference Source that meets GR 2830/G.811 requirements. Utilizing Symmetricom’s BesTime® technology, system outputs are constructed from the optimum characteristics of all synchronization sources. The antenna can be installed up to 1,000 feet from the main shelf, without amplifiers and using traditional coaxial cables.
NETWORK NTP
Applications today demand accurate timing and time-stamps in order to deliver better QoS and improve network performance.
The TimeProvider’s NTP solution provides Stratum 1 traceability to operate as a Network Time Server or can be a client to retrieve time from peers. The NTP protocol supports the MD5 authentication for more secure communication.
INPUT, OUTPUT AND CLOCK FUNCTION
Innovative design employs the latest technologies to combine the input, output and clock functions in one compact card. This unique architecture enables two IOCs to provide redundancy and protection simultaneously.
The IOC Card provides:
- Input performance monitoring, qualification and selection
- Holdover based on Rubidium or Quartz with SmartClock™ technology
- Filtering and distribution of precise synchronization
- Retiming of E1/T1 circuits
MANAGEMENT FUNCTION
The communication gateway of the TimeProvider is the Information Management Card (IMC), which allows provisioning and management, collecting status information from the IOC cards and processing signal alarms. This information is provided to the network management system and/or craft provisioning software.
