Subsystem (IPMI v1.5) Today at the Embedded Systems Conference in
San Jose, California, SBS Technologies(R), (NASDAQ: SBSE), a
leading designer and manufacturer of modular communication
solutions, announced the expansion of its telecommunications
product line with an AdvancedMC GPS module for AdvancedTCA(R) and
other communications systems. The Telum GPSTC-AMC is an AdvancedMC
module that uses a GPS (Global Positioning System) clock to
synchronize offsite network devices with other network devices.
Typically, WiMAX (IEEE 802.16) Base Stations do not have physical
access to the telecom network clocks that allow synchronization
with other devices on a given network. The Telum GPSTC-AMC module
solves the problem of offsite clock synchronization by using a GPS
satellite network, which provides extremely precise clock
synchronization for WiMAX Base Stations without restricting their
placement. "We are excited about delivering a GPS-based AdvancedMC
Module to the telecommunications market. This module allows
equipment to derive their clock synchronization from GPS satellite
networks and is a key enabler to the adoption of modular
architectures for use in the next generation of communications
equipment", said Rubin Dhillon, VP of Communications and Enterprise
for SBS Technologies. The Telum GPSTC-AMC provides a highly stable
30.72 MHz clock output that is phase aligned to GPS-derived 1 pulse
per second (PPS) input providing extremely precise, highly reliable
GPS clock synchronization. This AdvancedMC module also uses a
temperature-compensated voltage-controlled crystal oscillator
(TCVCXO) with a 30.72 MHz center frequency and a minimum Stratum 3
stability of 0.37 parts per million (PPM). With its very low-jitter
capability, the onboard crystal oscillator enables the GPSTC-AMC's
microprocessor to filter out the short-term jitter that often
affects GPS derived 1 PPS clocks while still allowing the
microprocessor to take advantage of the oscillator's long term
precision. Phased error detection allows the GPS clock module to
free run even if GPS input is lost. An onboard Intelligent Platform
Management Interface (IPMI) subsystem monitors board voltage and
temperature conditions, maintains system status, and manages hot
swap operation. In accordance with the AMC.0 specification, the
Telum GPSTC-AMC is hot swap capable and field replaceable. Price
and Availability: GPSTC-AMC pricing starts at US$950 and is
available now. About SBS Technologies(R) SBS Technologies, Inc.
