ALISO VIEJO, Calif.,
June 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq: MSCC), a leading
provider of semiconductor solutions differentiated by power,
security, reliability and performance, today announced the hardware
on its TimeProvider® 5000 IEEE™ 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP)
grandmaster clock has been updated to support Internet Protocol
version 6 (IPv6) and multi-Global Navigation Satellite System
(GNSS) constellation to ensure better reception and higher security
in a wide variety of telecommunications network applications.
"As our global wireless customers drive mobile infrastructure
forward with LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) and 5G services, support for IPv6
and alternate GNSS constellations is rising in importance for
deploying a robust, secure and future-proof synchronization
network," said Barry Dropping, senior director of product line
management for Microsemi. "The addition of GLONASS and Galileo
support on the TimeProvider 5000 system greatly enhances the
robustness and security of this widely adopted synchronization
platform for global carriers. We will continue to invest in this
technology to ensure reliable long-term roadmap support is provided
for telecommunications customers."
An increasing number of global operators are now looking at
solutions like Microsemi's enhanced TimeProvider 5000, as the
device offers multiple constellations in accordance with the
directives in certain countries to remove their sole dependency on
GPS. Having support for GLONASS and Galileo constellations also
makes systems more robust and secure to certain GNSS
vulnerabilities.
Microsemi's TimeProvider family has been installed in more than
350 networks across the globe, enabling communications service
providers to build stable, high performance and reliable network
infrastructures. Along with new support for IPv6 and multi-GNSS
constellations, the recently enhanced TimeProvider 5000 provides
redundant hardware, user configurable PTP profiles and Synchronous
Ethernet (SyncE) support with optical small form-factor pluggable
(SFP) modules.
The TimeProvider 5000 is a carrier-grade IEEE 1588 PTP
grandmaster clock with a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server option
and expansion shelf capabilities that include SyncE and advanced
PTP profiles, making the timing and synchronization system capable
of supporting network needs today and in the future. Its flexible
design is vital to enable circuit to packet network migration for
high-speed data services and wireless backhaul, and to deliver 3G,
4G/LTE, LTE-A and 5G wireless services.
Microsemi's TimeProvider family is a part of the carrier routing
and switching equipment market which was approximately $43 billion in 2016 according to market research
firm IHS Infonetics. The firm also expects this market to see sales
growth as more carriers start and expand their 4G services along
with the introduction of 5G deployments toward the end of 2019.
In addition to its TimeProvider family, Microsemi also offers
highly comprehensive and cost-effective IEEE 1588 and SyncE network
synchronization silicon solutions providing time stamping, ultralow
jitter (for up to 100G PHYs), IEEE 1588 protocol support (including
the ITU-T telecom profile for frequency and phase) and one of the
industry's most established client servos used by numerous carriers
worldwide. The solutions offered are used by all major equipment
vendors across the globe in a variety of wireless and wireline
applications and work seamlessly with Microsemi's full range of
TimeProvider equipment.
