TimeProvider 5000 v/s TimeProvider 2000 seriesThe continuing evolution of mobile network technologies has driven the need for increased accuracy and greater availability of timing and synchronization solutions. Backhaul Networks with high packet delay variation present timing "jitter errors" and asymmetry challenges that are difficult to solve with current solutions. Furthermore, deploying a GNSS receiver at every location is impractical, particularly in many small cell environments. Together, these challenges create the need for a new overall Synchronization Distribution Architecture for LTE and 5G networks.
The typical location of the TimeProvider Series Synchronization equipment in the network is depicted in the image below:
TimeProvider 5000
The TimeProvider 5000 is an IEEE 1588-2008 standard compliant grandmaster clock with a carrier-grade design that providers high client capacity, hardware-based packet processing, and redundant hardware to deliver scalable performance and maximum network availability in the core of the network. When locked to a GNSS input, the TimeProvider 5000 meets the applicable performance requirements of the ITU-T G.8272 standard for a primary reference time clock (PRTC).
TimeProvider 2300 and 2700
The TimeProvider 2700 is a PTP Grandmaster scaled for development at or near the edge of the backhaul network instead of closer to the network core. The TimeProvider 2300 on the other hand is an advanced standalone PTP gateway clock for deployment at planned locations to support precision time distribution over Ethernet Backhaul networks.Together, TimeProvider products enable synchronization distribution solutions that allow the mobile network to continue to evolve without retrofit of existing backhaul equipment and without changes to current network design and switching/routing policies.
