Symmetricom Announces IEEE 1588 PTP Measurement and Analysis Test Tools
29 October 2009 - 11:00PM
Business Wire
Symmetricom®, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYMM), a worldwide leader in precise
time and frequency technologies that accelerate the deployment and
enable the management of next generation networks, today announced
TimeAnalyzer, a set of comprehensive all-in-one test and
measurement tools for collecting and analyzing IEEE 1588
packet-timing data as well as traditional synchronization signals.
Ideal for assuring IEEE 1588 network readiness, TimeAnalyzer is the
first IEEE 1588 PTP test system available that provides an
intuitive pass/fail indication to easily verify PTP performance
over packet networks. It helps network designers meet PTP packet
sync performance requirements in multiple applications including
engineering, network planning, packet-timing deployment and
troubleshooting.
TimeAnalyzer test tools will be featured at Carrier Ethernet
World APAC Congress, November 2-4, 2009 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
and the 7th Time & Synchronization in Telecoms Symposium (ITSF
09), November 3-5, 2009 in Rome, Italy.
“The ability to test, measure and analyze PTP performance prior
to full network deployment is essential for carriers to be
confident in IEEE 1588 PTP synchronization technology,” commented
Olga Yashkova, research analyst, test & measurement, Frost
& Sullivan. “Symmetricom’s PTP performance and measurement
analyzer will be an important tool for network system designers to
move forward in the deployment of IEEE 1588 PTP synchronization
technology in the new Ethernet network.”
TimeAnalyzer test tools provide comprehensive functions to
measure and analyze packet-timing as well as traditional
synchronization. They enable reliable measurement of IEEE 1588
packet flows under a variety of traffic conditions for a broad
range of networks with nanosecond accuracy. The easy-to-use
graphical user interface enables users to quickly configure a test
system, collect PTP data for performance analysis and determine if
the end results meet requirements for telecom applications. The
portable device is ideally designed for use in the field and in the
lab. Data can be collected using a wide range of sampling rates
(1Hz to 64 Hz), allowing optimization and validation of the PTP
solution prior to full-scale network deployment.
“Symmetricom’s extensive experience in IEEE 1588 PTP technology
has yielded one of the most comprehensive, powerful set of
instruments that combines the features of all other measurement
tools to capture the real behavior of the network and its potential
impact on the final IEEE 1588 PTP performance,” commented Kevin
Hsu, vice president of product marketing at Symmetricom. “As the
industry migrates to IEEE 1588 PTP for synchronization in IP-based
packet networks, TimeAnalyzer test tools are essential to
minimizing risk by fully testing the network before
deployment.”
At Carrier Ethernet World APAC Congress, Symmetricom is
participating in the CEW APAC Interoperability Showcase on November
3-4, sponsored by the European Advanced Networking Test Center
(EANTC). In addition, Kevin Hsu will present, “Timing over Carrier
Ethernet: Is Your Network Ready?” on Wednesday, November 4, 2009.
