TimeSource 3000

Primary Reference Source for Public Network
Service Providers (T1)


TimeSource™ 3000 is a stand alone office Primary Reference Source (PRS) with integrated GPS receiver which meets GR2830 requirements. The TimeSource 3000 provides undisturbed Stratum 1 synchronization when locked to GPS. Upon loss of GPS, continued Stratum 1 performance can be maintained for up to 72 hours with optional inputs.

The key to the TimeSource 3000's superior performance is its patented multiple input frequency locked loop BesTime™ clock engine. The BesTime engine, GPS receiver, and digitally controlled quartz local oscillator work together to produce precise timing outputs. Span line or remote oscillator inputs can be added, at the user's option, to increase system reliability and holdover performance in the event GPS signals are interrupted.

The GPS antenna can be installed up to 1,000 feet from the office shelf, without amplifiers, using inexpensive thin coax cable. The TimeSource 3000 can be managed using TL1 commands or via Symmetricom's TimeScan element manager. The system is NEBS compliant and provides Sync Status Messaging (SSM).

Applications
In the standalone configuration, TimeSource 3000 provides multiple T1 and composite clock outputs in a compact, inexpensive package.
