Ultra-Compact Finnish Technology Drives Timing Solutions Deeper Into the Access
Network
Neuchâtel, Switzerland. August 3, 2015. Oscilloquartz, an ADVA Optical
Networking company, announced today that it has acquired Time4 Systems to help
it capitalize on new synchronization opportunities. Based in Finland, Time4
Systems produces SFP-based pluggable clock devices that drive synchronization
deeper into the access network. With these mini-clock devices, Time4 Systems
changes the way network synchronization is provided via global navigation
satellite system (GNSS) receivers, telecom slave clocks (T-SCs), grandmasters
(GMs) or boundary clocks (BCs). The small form factor enables users to deploy
synchronization solutions in the most space-efficient manner possible, with low
energy consumption and at the lowest possible cost. The SFP-based pluggable
clock devices will become a part of the Oscilloquartz product portfolio and
complement its existing synchronization offerings.
"Time4 Systems has a strategic understanding of the synchronization space. Their
SFP-based pluggable sync devices are a clear example of this. They are a
breakthrough technology for our industry," said Brian Protiva, CEO, ADVA Optical
Networking. "This technology enables Time4 Systems to address a number of key
pain points for service providers that are seeking to deploy synchronization
devices much deeper in the access network. This is why we acquired them. They
are an ideal fit for our Oscilloquartz business and further strengthen a strong
product portfolio. In fact, we already have a number of new business
opportunities that we're pursuing and we believe there's a very clear market out
there."
Oscilloquartz's acquisition of Time4 Systems rapidly broadens its addressable
market, especially in mobile operator access networks. As the deployment of
next-generation mobility solutions continues to accelerate, synchronization
technology needs to be driven deeper into the access network. To accommodate the
rapid proliferation of more radio heads and small cells that requires more and
more phase delivery, service providers need small-form pluggable sync devices
that can be mass produced and widely distributed. What's more, service providers
ideally need technology that can be plugged into an existing packet network,
enabling support for phase synchronization by providing GNSS, T-SC, GM or BC
functions. Time4 Systems' technology does just this. It enables network
providers and network equipment vendors to transform existing equipment into
phase and frequency synchronization-capable devices. There's no need to tear
this equipment out and buy more - just plug and sync.
"Service providers face significant challenges as they seek to increase the
density of radio heads and introduce small cells. What's more, they need to do
so in the most energy-efficient and cost-effective way possible, without
rebuilding their networks," commented Gil Biran, general manager, Oscilloquartz.
"To successfully achieve this, service providers need technology that can truly
deliver phase synchronization in multiple network scenarios and in the most
cost-effective and transparent way. The team at Time4 Systems understands this
and has developed what is possibly the world's smallest clock device. With their
team and their technology as part of Oscilloquartz, we have something special,
something that no other competitor in the industry has. This combination
presents a compelling business proposition to service providers and network
equipment vendors seeking to develop next-generation mobile networks."
