Next Generation Network

NGN requires precise time synchronization

The Next Generation Network (NGN) holds tremendous potential. Promising to merge the transmission of data, voice, video and other media onto a single network, this will be the standard network infrastructure for the next 10 to 20 years. As competition to deliver content over the Next Generation Network grows, so does the need for precise timing and synchronization, or sync. To be competitive in this next information market, service providers must focus on performance: quality of transmission will be a huge competitive differentiator. Precise time synchronization is an essential component for the reliable transport and switching necessary to deliver smooth transmission of voice, video and data, as well as new generation of services and applications that will emerge. As the industry leader in both Carrier Class and Enterprise Class IP timing and synchronization solutions, Symmetricom is uniquely positioned to meet these synchronization needs.

Symmetricom delivers sync solutions for Next Generation Network

As a worldwide leader in precise time and frequency products and services, Symmetricom provides “Perfect Timing” to customers around the world implementing a Next Generation Network infrastructure. Symmetricom has solved timing challenges and is now building sync solutions for clients in many verticals, including communications service providers, network equipment manufacturers, the U.S. Department of Defense, aerospace contractors, enterprises, governments and research facilities. Since 1985, Symmetricom's timing, frequency and synchronization solutions have helped define the world's standards and the company is poised to deliver the same level of innovation to timing and sync solutions for the Next Generation Network.

Benefits of Next Generation Network sync solutions from Symmetricom

Designed with legendary reputation for precision, reliability and efficiency, Symmetricom's sync solutions for Next Generation Networks will allow companies to:

Retain customers. Users will not abide dropped frames while watching television or jitter while using VoIP, so quality of service will become an important competitive differentiator in the Next Generation Network. Symmetricom's quality sync solutions ensure that all network elements will perform at maximum efficiency, a critical requirement for the uninterrupted flow of voice, video and data – and the retention of customers.
Avoid disruption. Because a single timing-and-synchronization element failure can disrupt service for thousands of users, networks will require the reliability found in Symmetricom's products.
Save money. With next generation timing and sync equipment in place, network operators will reduce operation costs through higher availability, reduced administrative burden and proactive failure prediction.
Transition smoothly to a Next Generation Network. Because transition to this new technology will take time, sync solutions are even more necessary to regulate the interface of current, transitional and next generation networks.
