Overview
The Symmetricom® TimeProvider™ 2700 is an IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol
(PTP) Grandmaster scaled and optimized for deployment to support small cells and
to meet the stringent phase timing and synchronization requirements of 4G/LTE
networks.
With an integrated GNSS receiver (GPS or GLONASS) the TimeProvider 2700
meets requirements of the ITU-T G.8272 standard for a Primary Reference Time
Clock (PRTC). It can operate in Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) networks, and
supports from 8 to 64 PTP clients. The TimeProvider 2700 offers the optional
capability to accept a PTP input or T1/E1 input to complement and backup the
GNSS signal. Additional output capabilities allow it to support legacy frequency
timing applications.
The TimeProvider 2300 Advanced Boundary Clock accepts PTP input. It can
operate in Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) networks, and supports from 8 to 64 PTP
clients. The TimeProvider 2300 offers the optional capability to accept T1/E1 input
to complement and backup the PTP input signal. Additional output capabilities allow
it to support legacy frequency timing applications.
