Protempis Thunderbolt GM330 PTP grandmaster clock

The Protempis Thunderbolt GM330 PTP grandmaster clock is designed for networks that require timing and phase synchronisation, including applications in public and private wireless, data centres, industrial networks and more. It provides continuous availability of UTC traceable time for phase synchronisation, a critical need for LTE Advanced/5G networks and services.

The GM330 performs well with the latest requirements and reduces the cost of deployment by integrating three functions: high accuracy GNSS timing with dual frequency and holdover; PTP distribution including support for a broad range of PTP profiles and a high number of clients; and a 40G line-rate integrated switch and 1G/10G SFP+ (can be optical or copper) ports for integration to a networked environment.

Some of the key PTP profiles supported include: IEEE-1588 v2.1, ITU-T G.8265.1, ITU-T G.8275.1, ITU-T G.8275.2, PRTC-B, Telecom-2019 IEEE 802.1AS, enterprise power profile (C37.238 2011) and broadcast profile (SMPTE ST-2059-2). The GM330 is useful to many market segments, including small cell, LTE advanced/5G synchronisation, private 5G and industrial data networks, ORAN 5G, oil & gas and enterprise, power & utility, broadcast and financial.
