DescriptionSymmetricom TimeProvider 5000 IEEE 1588 Grand Master Clock / NTP Server | Carrier grade, packet-based timing and synchronization
OverviewTimeProvider® 5000 is an IEEE 1588-2008 standard–compliant grandmaster clock with a carrier-grade design that provides high client capacity, hardwarebased packet processing, and redundant hardware to deliver scalable performance and maximum network availability. When locked to a GNSS input, the TimeProvider 5000 meets the applicable performance requirements of the ITU-T G.8272 standard for a primary reference time clock (PRTC).With dual input/output clock cards in active and standby mode, TimeProvider 5000 ensures that there is no impact on client performance when failover occurs. Redundant cards provide protection far superior to network redundancy models in which clients must reacquire synchronization from a different grandmaster somewhere else in the network.
Key FeaturesRedundant hardware: inputs, outputs, clock, and power Hardware-based packet processing User-configurable PTP profiles with IPv4 and IPv6 support Supports the latest ITU PTP profiles including ITU-T G.8265.1, ITU-T G.8275.1, and ITU-T G.8275.2 ITU-T G.8272 PRTC Synchronous Ethernet support with optical SFPs Single or dual GNSS inputs with GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and Beidou options Input source priority auto-switching PTP and carrier-grade NTP server (optional) PTP probe for PDV measurement (optional) Management through CLI, SNMP v2c/v3, TimePictra® PTP probe licensed software option
Key BenefitsFully interoperable with standardsbased clients Highly scalable PTP grandmaster supports 1000 PTP clients at full 128 messages per second rate No performance degradation as client capacity grows Simultaneously supports both PTP and NTP elements in the network Capabilities grow with TimeProvider expansion products
ApplicationsWireless Ethernet backhaul 3G and 4G/LTE Circuit emulation services (CES) Passive optical networks (PON) Femto cells and small cells
