Symmetricom has announced the TimeProvider 5000 a carrier-grade, packet-based timing and frequency solution.

The TimeProvider 5000 is a purpose-built IEEE 1588 Version 2 carrier-class grandmaster clock designed to meet stringent timing and synchronization requirements of next-generation network applications, including Ethernet backhaul, circuit emulation and passive optical networks (PON).

The product is well-suited for deployment at Radio Network Controller (RNC) and Base Station Controller (BSC) sites where rack space and real estate are extremely limited. TimeProvider 5000 incorporates hardware-based time stamping providing the highest level of timing and frequency accuracy over a broad range of wireline and wireless applications.
