The panel discussion will examine the importance of packet
timing synchronization in next generation power system
applications. The PTP IEEE1588v2 protocol has been identified as
the future intelligent vehicle that will carry and distribute
timing over IP network. The packet nature and the intelligence of
the PTP protocol shall improve performance, remote management and
provides efficient and easier access to a better timing reference.
Performance and the challenges of this new protocol with regard to
utility telecom network and performance objectives will be
reviewed. The vision on the development of PTP IEEE1588 to address
customer needs for a stable PTP/IRIGB signal that meets the
requirements of NPCC / NERC with performance of better than one
millisecond will also be shared during this discussion.

business development efforts for Symmetricom. Mr. Marais has also
held senior sales and marketing positions at Symmetricom serving
the global markets for precise time and frequency solutions. Prior
