- SyncServer® S200 and S250 products now offer rubidium-based
clock technology that meets RoHS directive
LONDON, Sept. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Symmetricom®, Inc.
(NASDAQ: SYMM), a worldwide leader in precision time and
frequency technologies, today introduced new RoHS compliant
versions of its existing SyncServer S200 and SyncServer S250 GPS
Network Time Servers. Ideal for large or expanding IT enterprises,
the cost-effective SyncServer S200 and S250 with optional
rubidium-based atomic clocks will reliably continue operational
service for extended periods when primary time sources are
impaired.

Accurate network time-keeping is essential for modern data
networks to support a number of key functions—including precision
time stamping, scheduled data backups, network management and
security—these functions all rely on networked clocks to stay
synchronized with each other. By using enterprise owned servers,
companies are better poised to ensure accurate, reliable and more
simplified network timing and synchronization.
The European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substances
directive (or RoHS) assures environmental responsibility for the
materials used in electrical and electronic equipment. The
SyncServer S200 and S250 now offer network managers and engineers
RoHS certified, entry level time servers that still allow them to
take advantage of rubidium-based clock technology. Unlike the more
commonly deployed time servers that leverage
temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) and
oven-controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO) technologies, the
rubidium-based SyncServers provide superior holdover—technology
that allows the network to continue to operate with accurate timing
when the primary reference (usually GPS) is temporarily impaired
due to events such as GPS jamming, antenna breakage, or solar
interferences.
Communications and Information Technology managers can now take
control of their network timing and synchronization and be assured
of very accurate timing in their network that will not degrade or
disrupt services during long periods where holdover is
necessary.
