OSA 5420 Series
Delivers Precise Phase and Frequency Timing for Next-Generation
Network Technologies
Amsterdam,
Netherlands. November 6, 2017. Oscilloquartz, an ADVA Optical
Networking company, today announced that T-Mobile Netherlands has
deployed and fully implemented its OSA 5420 Series, enabling the
nationwide rollout of TD-LTE services. The upgrade empowers
T-Mobile Netherlands to meet skyrocketing levels of data demand and
also equip its synchronization network in readiness for LTE
Advanced Pro, eLTE and 5G. The OSA 5420 Series grandmaster clocks
provide the sub-microsecond accuracy required for next-generation
mobile applications as well as an unprecedented level of robustness
and scalability. The new solution, which also delivers assisted
partial timing support functionality, enables T-Mobile Netherlands
to smoothly transition from legacy synchronization
technologies.
"Deploying Oscilloquartz's
complete sync solution is key to evolving our network. Their unique
technology enables us to seamlessly enhance our existing
infrastructure and gives us the phenomenally precise frequency and
phase synchronization we need as we roll out LTE-TDD, LTE-A and
eventually 5G mobile services," said Muzaffer Erdem, transport
network solution engineer, T-Mobile Netherlands. "With our
customers demanding increasingly advanced voice, video and data
applications, high-quality timing in the packet backhaul network
becomes paramount. Leveraging the OSA 5420 Series is the ideal
response. It's a highly scalable solution that effectively removes
the need for upgrade cycles. It also easily integrated with our
existing equipment and proved simple to install. What's more, at
every stage in the process, we've been hugely impressed with the
excellent support we've received from the Oscilloquartz team."
In order to meet mobile backhaul
requirements both now and in the future, T-Mobile Netherlands has
deployed the OSA 5420 Series in its core network and at metro
aggregation points. By harnessing the latest IEEE 1588v2 Precision
Time Protocol (PTP) technology, the solution enables accurate phase
synchronization throughout the national infrastructure. This makes
emerging technologies possible such as coordinated multipoint
transmission for enhanced data availability. Despite its small
footprint, the OSA 5420 Series also delivers the highest level of
holdover performance available on the market, giving T-Mobile
Netherlands the ultimate protection from GNSS outages. For even
greater levels of availability and resiliency, the OSA 5420 Series
comprehensively supports all major GNSS constellations.
"T-Mobile Netherlands is one of
the leading mobile operators in the country, committed to providing
the best available services for its customers. Harnessing our
synchronization technology for unprecedented levels of precision
and reliability enables them to meet soaring demand and offer the
most advanced services," said Gil Biran, general manager,
Oscilloquartz. "Optimized for edge deployment, our OSA 5420 has
enabled T-Mobile Netherlands to push precise synchronization to
metro locations where it's most crucial. What's more, our solution
supports both legacy interfaces and the latest PTP innovation for a
unified network timing architecture. That means T-Mobile
Netherlands can ensure a smooth transition to LTE Advanced Pro,
while also laying the foundation for 5G and future-proofing the
network against further growth in data demand."
