Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) Technology
Overview
What is Synchronous Ethernet?
Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) is a physical layer (PHY)-based technology delivering frequency synchronization in packet-based, Ethernet networks. Microsemi was the first to introduce SyncE PLLs nearly 10 years ago and now offers the industry’s most comprehensive portfolio of SyncE timing devices, providing G.8262 compliance and ultra-low jitter for 10Gbps to 100Gbps PHYs. Depending on needs, customers may choose standalone SyncE with a simple migration path to IEEE 1588, or combined SyncE and IEEE 1588 for both time and frequency alignment.
Microsemi also supports evolving network needs for frequency, phase and time-of-day (TOD) synchronization with its timing and synchronization systems for highly accurate “precise time” distribution using today's precise timing standards, such as SyncE, as well as GPS-based timing, IEEE 1588 (PTP), Network Time Protocol (NTP) and DOCSIS® timing. Microsemi systems also offer network supervision and management for timing problem notification, analysis and SLA compliance;
Microsemi is the market leader in network synchronization with a focused industry-leading portfolio for SyncE/IEEE 1588 timing for packet networks and OTN systems. Our highly-integrated, feature-rich SyncE solutions – encompassing ICs, systems, software and services – enable manufacturers to create cost-effective network equipment designs that support accurate end-to-end transmission of voice, video, and data over wired and wireless networks.
