Introducing the TimeProvider® XT Extension System for Migrating to a Modern Synchronization and Timing Systems Architecture
2024年6月3日 - 9:00PM
Critical infrastructure communication networks require highly
accurate and resilient synchronization and timing, but over time
these systems age out and must be migrated to a more modern
architecture. Microchip Technology
(Nasdaq: MCHP)
today announces the new
TimeProvider® XT Extension
System, a fan-out shelf used with redundant TimeProvider
4100 grandmasters to migrate legacy BITS/SSU equipment to a modular
and resilient architecture. The TimeProvider XT provides operators
with a clear path to replace existing SONET/SDH frequency
synchronization equipment while adding timing and phase, essential
for 5G networks.
As an accessory device to Microchip’s widely
deployed TimeProvider 4100 grandmaster, each TimeProvider XT shelf
is configured with two distribution modules and two plug-in modules
to provide 40 fully redundant and individually programmable outputs
with synchronization designed to meet ITU-T G.823 for wander and
jitter control. Operators can connect up to five XT shelves to
scale up to 200 fully redundant T1/E1/CC communication outputs. All
configuration, status monitoring and alarm reporting is done via
the TimeProvider 4100 grandmaster. This new solution allows
operators to consolidate their critical frequency, timing and phase
requirements onto a single modern platform, saving maintenance and
service costs.
“With the new TimeProvider XT Extension, network
operators can take advantage of state-of-the-art technology that is
reliable, scalable and flexible to either overlay or replace their
SONET/SDH synchronization systems,” said Randy Brudzinski, vice
president of Microchip’s frequency and time systems business unit.
“The XT solution is an attractive investment for network operators
because it is more than just a replacement for legacy BITS/SSU
equipment; it also adds PRTC functionality, delivering frequency,
time and phase for next-generation networks.”
This solution is compatible with DCD, SSU 2000,
TSG-3800 and TimeHub® systems’ wire-wrap and output panels, so that
network elements do not have to be rewired. This can save network
operators significant deployment time and resources while reducing
costs. The TimeProvider XT has a Composite Clock (CC) input which
allows for live in-service CC phase cutovers, which are typically
performed during maintenance windows to ensure that the
synchronization in a network is maintained. The TimeProvider XT
system requires the TimeProvider 4100 grandmaster to be running the
latest version 2.4 firmware.
The TimeProvider XT Extension system is the newest
product to join Microchip’s extensive portfolio of clock and timing
systems, which ranges from small plug-in timing server cards to
multi-rack national and time scale systems. As a primary
contributor to the world's time, Microchip's timing solutions are
trusted, reliable and resilient. For more information, visit
