TimeProvider 4500 Series Release 1.0

Version 1.0 Highlights

The TimeProvider 4500 series offers three distinctive and future-proof high-end capabilities:

• It is the first PTP grandmaster with 25 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) support
• 1 GbE/10 GbE ports significantly exceed the performance of Class D timing requirements (typical accuracy better than ±2 ns)
• It is designed around a new hardware platform with enhanced components that enable very-high sub 1 ns accuracy
• It leverages a new synthesizer for ultra-high accuracy and a new FPGA SoC that can increase PTP scalability to many thousands of clients
• It supports all features available in the TimeProvider 4100 series version 2.3 firmware and adds premium capabilities only possible with this new hardware platform

Benefits and Applications

• Highly scalable PTP grandmaster implementation to serve thousands of PTP end points for customers deploying C-band gNodeBs
• Highest accuracy hardware platform to meet sub 1 ns performance for highly accurate time distribution as an alternative to GNSS
• Highest network speeds on the market to ensure connectivity to various generations of network elements from 1 GbE to 25 GbE and beyond
• Sync solution for the mobile edge: 4G/ LTE, Cloud RAN (C-RAN), 5G, Open RAN (O-RAN)
• Ethernet backhaul, midhaul, fronthaul networks
• Cable remote physical layer (R-PHY)
• Migration from legacy synchronization (SONET/SDH) to Ethernet and IEEE® 1588 PTP for utilities, transportation and government markets
