How to integrate sophisticated
synchronization into network devices
• Lacking synchronization competence
• Fast innovation cycles of GNSS receivers and
PTP-related standards require frequent
updates for device design and software
• No experience with operating timing
networks in an efficient and transparent way
• Proven, reliable and robust technology
• Modularity eases feature innovation
• Simplified integration and fast time to market
• Sophisticated GNSS receivers, PTP grandmaster,
various backup options for accuracy and
resilience
• Unique GNSS and PTP assurance features
• Transparently managed with Ensemble Sync
Director

Summary
• Timing accuracy requirements of mobile networks,
critical network infrastructure and data centers
require servers with access to ultra-accurate time
• Device manufactures may not have the required
synchronization competence, and would prefer to
leverage the expertise of a synchronization market
leader
• Injecting the OSA 5400 TimeCardTM provides open
servers with an easy way to access reliable and
accurate time
Making open compute servers time-aware with embedded timing modules
