Symmetricom Features Synchronization Solutions at International CTIA WIRELESS 2010

Symmetricom®, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYMM), a major supplier of precise time and frequency technologies, today announced the company is featuring its newest offerings in its comprehensive portfolio of synchronization solutions at International CTIA WIRELESS® 2010, March 23-25, 2010 in Las Vegas, NV, booth #3819. Highlights include the SCi 2000 Embedded Software Clock, a versatile software client designed for network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) to integrate IEEE 1588 (PTP) technology into base stations and other network equipment. Additional products to be showcased include recent releases of the TimeProvider® 5000 Grandmaster Clock and TimeProvider® 500 Translator. These products reinforce Symmetricom’s leadership in the industry by bringing an expanded level of technology flexibility and synchronization performance to both network equipment manufacturers and carriers to ensure seamless migration to Carrier Ethernet networks.

Symmetricom’s SCi 2000 Embedded Software Clock enables NEMs to integrate Symmetricom’s field-proven IEEE 1588 client technology into their respective network elements, such as switches, routers, DSLAMs and base stations. The SCi 2000 delivers both frequency and phase synchronization and provides advanced network-wide monitoring for increased synchronization performance. With the SCi 2000, a dedicated discrete chip is not necessary, leading to a more compact, power-efficient design. This enables NEMs to realize cost-savings and a lower cost of ownership.

“Symmetricom’s synchronization solutions have been consistently proven in both field trials and deployments around the world,” commented James Armstrong, EVP and general manager at Symmetricom. “With new solutions, such as the SCi 2000 Embedded Software Clock, service providers now have more options in deploying backhaul products with embedded synchronization and can realize greater savings when transitioning from TDM-based networks to Ethernet.”

Symmetricom will also be demonstrating its suite of IEEE 1588 (PTP) solutions in booth #3819 in the Central Hall. Products include recent releases of the TimeProvider 5000 Grandmaster Clock and TimeProvider 500 Translator. Enhancements to these products include expanded management, redundancy and flexibility features. Also being showcased is the TimeAnalyzer, a set of comprehensive, all-in-one IEEE 1588 test and measurement tools.

Symmetricom is a platinum sponsor of Telecommunications Media Group’s Mobile Backhaul for Maximum Network Potential conference on Tuesday, March 23, 11:00 a.m. – 3:35 p.m., Las Vegas Convention Center, Room N259. James Armstrong will be speaking at this event, discussing the critical role of synchronization for a more efficient, cost-effective backhaul network.
