SAN JOSE, Calif. and
CLEARWATER, Fla., June 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/
-- Symmetricom®, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYMM), a worldwide
leader in precision time and frequency technologies and Raisecom
Technology, a leading global manufacturer of wireless backhaul,
access and aggregation solutions, today announced the successful
interoperability testing of wireless backhaul networks and a new
partnership through the SyncWorld® Ecosystem Program.

The companies have performed comprehensive interoperability
testing to validate LTE mobile backhaul deployment scenarios over
packet networks that leverage ITU.T G.8261 and the IEEE 1588-2008
synchronization protocol. The testing was completed using
Raisecom's iTN201 Carrier Ethernet Edge device powered by
Symmetricom's TimeProvider® 5000 IEEE 1588-2008 Grandmaster Clock.
The TimeProvider 5000 is a carrier-grade timing source that
provides high client capacity, hardware-based packet processing and
redundant hardware to match the synchronization needs of next
generation networks, such as Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE), IEEE
1588 (PTP), and Network Time Protocol (NTP) timing protocols.
"Raisecom and Symmetricom have performed detailed
interoperability testing to validate LTE mobile-backhaul deployment
scenarios over packet networks that leverage ITU.T G.8261 and IEEE
1588-2008 synchronization mechanisms," said Alex Shaw, CEO of Raisecom Technology. "Using
Raisecom 10GbE switches deployed with the iTN201 Carrier-Ethernet
Edge Devices, our customers are able to implement a very flexible
yet cost-effective architecture for a synchronized mobile backhaul
network."
"The momentum we've received with the SyncWorld Ecosystem
Program and the addition of Raisecom further demonstrates that
service providers realize an immediate benefit for interoperability
around the rigorous synchronization and timing requirements
required to support 4G/LTE mobile network deployments," said
Manish Gupta, vice president of
Marketing and Business Development for Symmetricom.
Raisecom joins the SyncWorld's network equipment partners
segment. Network equipment partners are technology vendors that
have conducted extensive interoperability testing with Symmetricom
products to ensure effective operation of the joint solution in
specific scenarios. Network equipment partners cooperate in a
variety of ways, including technical, marketing, and field
support.
