Symmetricom Integrates Chip Scale Atomic Clock with Jackson Labs Technologies, Inc. GPSDO
March 15 2011 - 7:00AM
Business Wire
Symmetricom®, Inc. (NASDAQ:SYMM), a worldwide leader in precise
time and frequency technologies, and Jackson Labs Technologies,
Inc., a designer and manufacturer of cutting-edge GPS-based time
and frequency generation products, today announced the signing of a
Joint Marketing Agreement (JMA) to market and sell Jackson Lab’s
CSAC GPSDO timing and frequency board with Symmetricom’s newest
member of the QUANTUM™ family of atomic oscillators, the SA.45s
Chip Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC). The SA.45s CSAC will be utilized as
a holdover oscillator for the COTS CSAC GPSDO (Global Positioning
System Disciplined Oscillator). The incorporation of the SA.45s
CSAC in the CSAC GPSDO is especially well-suited for GPS-denied
environments and is targeted for incorporation into dismounted IED
jammers; unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs); next-generation man-pack
radios and military handheld GPS units.
“We are very excited to be able to include the truly
revolutionary SA.45s CSAC as the holdover oscillator in our CSAC
GPSDO,” commented Said Jackson, President of Jackson Labs
Technologies, Inc. “Compared to existing OEM atomic oscillators,
the CSAC is 1/3rd to 1/30th the size, and it consumes 1/20th to
1/100th of the power. When compared to Oven-Controlled Crystal
Oscillators (OXCOs), the CSAC consumes only 125 milli-watts, and
offers a 3x to 10x improvement in stability and accuracy, a 10x to
100x reduction in g-sensitivity, as well as a reduction of the
warm-up and lock time from 15 minutes typically to less than 3
minutes. The hold-over performance of the CSAC is especially
beneficial in GPS-denied environments where mission-critical
military products are being utilized on a daily basis for tactical
operations.”
Dan Scharre, executive vice president and general manager at
Symmetricom, said, “Partnering with Jackson Labs Technologies, Inc.
is a win-win for both companies and our customers. Jackson Labs
Technologies, Inc. has an excellent reputation for building GPSDO
boards and our two companies have done an excellent job in
integrating our respective technologies into a superior product in
a short-turnaround time in order to meet the demands of our
customers.”
The CSAC GPSDO will be marketed and sold from both companies as
part of the Joint Marketing Agreement (JMA), and is now available
for shipment. Noteworthy benefits of this integration include
excellent holdover performance, ultra low power consumption, low
height profile, fast-warm up time and industry-leading 1 Pulse per
Second (PPS) accuracy.
