Symmetricom and Wintegra Partner to Deliver High Performance Synchronization Solutions for IEEE 1588 Product Developers
November 01 2010 - 1:01AM
Business Wire
Symmetricom®, Inc (NASDAQ:SYMM), a worldwide leader in precise
time and frequency technologies, announced today that it has
partnered with Wintegra to deliver a cost-effective,
high-performance, versatile and power-efficient reference design
for customers requiring IEEE 1588 (Precision Time Protocol)
compliant products. The reference design combines Symmetricom’s SCi
2000 Embedded Software Clock with Wintegra’s WinPath3 platform.
This combination enables customers to implement IEEE 1588 in
wireless base stations and other network elements in an affordable,
portable manner without the need for dedicated silicon.
“With Symmetricom’s high-performance, software synchronization
technology now available on Wintegra’s leading WinPath3 platform,
our macro, micro and pico base station customers, and network
equipment manufacturers (NEMs) can now take advantage of a
highly-versatile, high-performance, low-power and cost-efficient
PTP solution,” said Robert O’Dell, EVP of Marketing and Sales at
Wintegra. “We are excited to bring this reference design to market
as Wintegra and Symmetricom serve common applications with
complementary products. This integrated offering delivers excellent
results and has already been well received by customers.”
“Wireless and network synchronization requirements are becoming
more precise with the deployment of 4G wireless technologies. At
the same time, NEMs are challenged with the trends toward achieving
their designs with lower power, less board space and less cost,”
said Manish Gupta, Vice President of Marketing at Symmetricom.
“With the combination of Symmetricom’s SCi 2000 Embedded Software
Clock and Wintegra’s technology, NEMs can realize their optimal
design goals without requiring dedicated silicon.”
Availability
The SCi 2000 Embedded Software Clock on the WinPath3 platform is
now available. For more information on this solution, contact
expertadvice@symmetricom.com. Symmetricom will also be exhibiting
the SCi 2000 Embedded Software Clock at ITSF 2010 in Dublin
Ireland, November 2-4.
Symmetricom SCi 2000 Embedded Software Clock
The SCi 2000 Embedded Software Clock consists of a powerful
algorithm suite, built on industry-leading IEEE 1588-2008 (PTP)
client technology that is designed to suit the needs of the telecom
network infrastructure. This algorithm suite has specialized
filtering and servo algorithms that solve a wide range of
application challenges, such as non uniform network traffic loads
and heterogeneous network elements. The SCi 2000 Embedded Software
Clock will be integrated into network elements such as base
stations, picocells, cell site routers, aggregation devices, NIDs,
routers and switches. It has been successfully deployed in real
networks, delivering proven, industry-leading performance.
Wintegra and the WinPath3
Wintegra’s WinPath3 platform is comprised of the WinPath3 family
and WinPath3-Super Light family. Both WinPath3 and WinPath3-Super
Light network processors provide all the hardware and driver
support required for IEEE 1588-2008 including MAC timestamping,
on-the-fly timestamp insertion, clock synthesizers and 1PPS
generation. IEEE 1588 support is available on all Gigabit Ethernet
and 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Wintegra also provides WinPath3 and
WinPath3-Super Light development boards where the Symmetricom SCi
2000 software has been verified and passed all G.8261 test
cases.
Wintegra is a leading provider of access processing
semiconductors enabling the delivery of new services for the
evolving communications network infrastructure. Wintegra-based
solutions are used in a wide range of networking and communication
platforms such as wireline and wireless infrastructure, and access
routers and are used by many of the leading equipment manufacturers
worldwide. For more information on Wintegra, visit:
