Oscilloquartz High-Capacity Telecom IEEE 1588 PTP Module

Synchronisation supply units (SSU) are widely deployed for SONET/SDH legacy network synchronisation in carrier and enterprise network infrastructure. With the migration to packet-switched network technology and SONET/SDH continuing to be used in production networks, the smooth migration from legacy to next-generation network synchronisation becomes a critical task.

IEEE 1588v2 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) has been established for precise frequency, phase and time-of-day synchronisation across packet networks. In addition to deploying stand-alone PTP Grandmaster devices, PTP Grandmaster functionality can be integrated into existing SSU solutions, leveraging existing infrastructure and enabling smooth migration.

The High-Capacity Telecom IEEE 1588 PTP Module from Oscilloquartz is designed to deliver precise and reliable synchronisation from existing SSU platforms. It supports a large and market-leading number of PTP slave clients and is compatible with the OSA 5548C SSU platform as well as the OAS 5335 modular PTP Grandmaster. The scalable and modular design allows operators to increase the number of PTP clients as their network grows.

Features include: PTP Grandmaster module for highly accurate synchronisation; compliant with ITU-T G.8272 Primary Reference Time Clock; compliant with ITU-T G.8265.1 Telecom Profile; Synchronous Ethernet according to ITU-T G.8262 and G.8264; high slave capacity with up to 1024 PTP clients per module; scalable system architecture and software licensing.
