SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Symmetricom®,
(NASDAQ: SYMM), a worldwide leader in precision time and frequency
technologies, today announced the availability of the industry's
first multi-sync software clock solution, the SoftClock SCi 2000
rel. 2.0, developed to meet the stringent synchronization
requirements of LTE small cells, macro base stations and backhaul
infrastructure.

The Symmetricom SCi 2000 SoftClock is a carrier-grade embedded
multiple-input software clock solution designed to deliver high
precision frequency and phase synchronization required by the
evolving IP-based LTE infrastructure.
“The growth of LTE is driving increased demand for network
robustness and reliability, and network synchronization solutions
are needed to meet the rigorous timing and delivery requirements
that ensure network quality,” said Ken
Rehbehn, principal analyst, Yankee Group. “Flexible software
solutions like the SCi 2000 help network equipment suppliers meet
new operator timing and sync requirements, with faster time to
market and lower overall design cost.”
The SCi 2000 rel. 2.0 SoftClock capabilities include:
- Frequency and Phase: the SCi 2000 supports the
challenging LTE-TDD requirements of frequency (50 ppb at air
interface) and phase (+/- 1.5 microseconds).
- Multi-sync: SCi 2000 handles multiple sync standards
including PTP 1588, SyncE, GPS, UTI and E1/T1; it allows systems to
select from multiple sync inputs and provide the best possible
clock output.
- BesTime® precise time reference management
algorithm: the SCi 2000 takes multiple inputs and
disciplines local oscillators to generate a highly accurate clock
output.
The SCi 2000 offers ultimate design flexibility to the designer
by providing a hardware and architecturally agnostic software
solution, and can work with a variety of oscillators ranging from
OCXO to TCXO. For more information, please visit:

"Symmetricom's embedded portfolio complements our existing
systems portfolio to deliver complete end-to-end timing solutions
for communications networks," said Manish
Gupta, vice president of marketing for Symmetricom. "The SCi
2000 provides an easily adopted future proof solution for both
existing and future systems that need to support evolving 4G/LTE
network deployments."
**Attention 4GWorld attendees:
Manish Gupta, vice president of
marketing for Symmetricom will be moderating the panel, "Timing is
Everything – Synchronization Requirements for LTE Readiness" on
Tuesday, Oct. 25 4:40 PM CT, Room #S402. The panel will examine
synchronization technology, standards necessary to support LTE
deployments, details of interoperability requirements, and
considerations for meeting the challenges of Ethernet backhaul
deployments. Panelists include executives from Broadcom, Cisco, and
Nokia Siemens Networks.
