Demonstrations
Will Highlight New Functionality for Improved Accuracy, Reliability
and Cost Efficiency
Prague, Czech
Republic. October
26, 2016. Oscilloquartz, an ADVA Optical
Networking company, announced today that it will showcase vital new
functionality for its synchronization and distribution technology
at the 2016 International Timing & Sync Forum (ITSF) in Prague.
Demonstrations will reveal additional applications based on
enhanced hardware and software in the OSA 5401 Syncplug, an
ultra-compact Precision Time Protocol (PTP) grandmaster clock, and
the OSA 5420 range of synchronization distribution and assurance
devices optimized for edge deployment. The new feature set includes
the OSA 5401's capability to be used as a boundary or slave clock
and the OSA 5420 series' availability as a one-box solution for all
timing protocols. The advancements will improve accuracy, security
and cost-efficiency and create new use cases and deployment
scenarios for Oscilloquartz's timing technology.
"With these latest innovations we
can offer the ultimate timing solution. Thanks to improved security
and resiliency, as well as different PTP profiles for different
markets, our technology now caters for all synchronization
requirements," said Nir Laufer, director, product line management,
Oscilloquartz. "Our enhanced OSA 5401 small form-factor pluggable
grandmaster will bring major benefits to network operators. Its new
slave and boundary clock functionality enables it to be used as an
add-on, creating a hybrid synchronization network. Deployed this
way, the OSA 5401 significantly reduces packet delay variation
while taking up zero real estate and using very little power. It
also protects against outages in the global navigation satellite
system (GNSS), delivering superior frequency and phase with better
resiliency throughout the network."
Further enhancements to the OSA
5401 include Layer 3 multi-cast functionality for financial and
enterprise applications, as well as remote authentication and logs
for improved manageability and security. Improvements have also
been made to the OSA 5401's GNSS capabilities, such as an elevation
mask, a signal-to-noise ratio mask and fixed positioning, which
enables more accurate time and frequency recovery, even in
challenging environments such as urban canyon installations.
Upgrades to the OSA 5420 series mean that it can now function as a
high-capacity Network Time Protocol (NTP) server or PTP grandmaster
in the same device, or even over the same port. What's more, it can
now support different types of line cards, including multiple
1Gbit/s ports used for PTP, NTP and Sync-E, as well as BITS,
pulse-per-second, time-of-day and clock interfaces. This single box
for all synchronization applications dramatically reduces cost and
enables customers to protect their investment in NTP while planning
future migration toward PTP.
"We're excited to present our
latest advancements to the industry at ITSF. Our demos will show
that we've created a complete synchronization solution - a family
of devices that makes precise, resilient and affordable timing
available for every industry," commented Gil Biran, general
manager, Oscilloquartz. "With the OSA 5420 range, we've taken the
Swiss army knife strategy even further, so that a single device now
supports all sync technologies. It gives operators a one-box
solution for overlay networks with different requirements. With its
NTP server and GNSS receiver capability, including multiple legacy
and next-generation synchronization fan-out options, our OSA 5420
series is ideal for deployment in legacy synchronization
architectures. It also offers the freedom to locate sync devices at
any point in the network, which further reduces capital and
operational expenditure."
Showcases will take place
throughout the day in booth 5 from Tuesday, November 1 until
Thursday, November 3. As well as the demonstrations, there will be
presentations delivered to the entire conference by several of
Oscilloquartz's leading experts in timing and synchronization.
