“The launch of our Time Scale System represents a major
advancement in precision timekeeping. Leveraging our industry-first
high-performance optical cesium atomic clocks and a fully
integrated system capable of combining multiple clock types into a
single, stable time scale, this solution offers unmatched accuracy
and resilience,” said Gil Biran, GM of Oscilloquartz, Adtran. “At a
time when industries like national metrology, defense and aerospace
face increasing demands for precision and reliability, our Time
Scale System will deliver the confidence needed for
mission-critical applications. Oscilloquartz is proud to continue
leading innovation in timekeeping, providing solutions that exceed
the highest standards of accuracy, security and performance.”
The Oscilloquartz Time Scale System delivers exceptional
timekeeping by integrating up to eight different clock types,
including optical cesium atomic clocks, hydrogen maser clocks and
GNSS receivers, into a single, stable time scale. It uses
multi-channel measurement systems to calculate clock time
differences and combine these inputs into one output. The system
supports the distribution of multiple 5MHz, 10MHz, 1PPS, TOD and
IRIG-B outputs, as well as NTP and PTP protocols for flexible
infrastructure support. With real-time monitoring and data
archiving, it ensures seamless operation during GPS/GNSS outages,
maintaining nanosecond precision. The system also automatically
generates BIPM reports for institutes contributing to global time
standards. With its customizable design, staging, integration and
compliance with local legal time providers, the Oscilloquartz Time
Scale System sets a new standard in mission-critical
timekeeping.
“Our Time Scale System will be key to advancing global standards
in timekeeping. By offering real-time monitoring and seamless
integration with existing infrastructures, the system ensures our
customers stay synchronized with UTC and are protected against any
potential disruptions,” commented Patrick Berthoud, time and
frequency chief scientist at Oscilloquartz, Adtran. “With its
customizable and modular design, the system enables us to
collaborate closely with each client to tailor a solution precisely
to their specific requirements, whether they need unique frequency
sources or enhanced GPS/GNSS resilience. This adaptability
underscores our commitment, since our founding in 1949, to
delivering technology that meets the highest standards and is
versatile enough to perform in diverse and challenging
environments.”
