Syncworks Field Services
Syncworks provides a comprehensive menu of network synchronization services for your network. We bring the highest level of experience and expertise to your project.
Site Surveys
Understanding where you are is just as important as understanding where you are going. Syncworks’ network sync experts can help you perform a site survey of your current configuration before starting an office BITS clock upgrade. We help you assess the status of your current sync equipment, its operation, office wiring, records, related power and grounding and output capacity. We then work with you based on this data to accurately develop a proposed new BITS clock configuration, design layout and scope of services.
Network Sync Audits
Network Sync Audits provide an overview of your synchronization needs to proactively ensure smooth cutovers while avoiding potential mistakes.
Syncworks provides reliable, cost-effective audits of your entire network synchronization configuration. We can help you establish the overall plan for synchronizing all sites and equipment within the network. When needed, Syncworks performs sync performance measurements at various locations to determine the quality of the transport paths and elements between sites.
- Comprehensive documentation of physical checks and traces of all outputs
- Evaluation of redundancy systems including recommended upgrades
- Recommendations for proactive system changes before a cutover
Sync Performance Measurements
Syncworks can help you identify timing problems before they happen. Our Sync Performance Measurements help you prevent network downtime before it becomes a problem.
We provide the equipment and personnel to make precision synchronization measurements from central office locations to cell sites or customer premises. We quantify and compare the accuracy and stability of synchronization and recommend changes needed to improve quality at problem locations. These measurements and analyses can be used to locate and identify unknown timing problems in a site or network.
Engineering Specifications
These comprehensive engineering specifications may include:
- Equipment
- Rack Space
- Operating Power
- Grounding

Engineering Support
Syncworks provides phone support to answer any setup, provisioning, and operational questions about your office timing. We adapt to your internal structure, augmenting your internal resources with the people and experience needed.
The bottom line is we are here to ensure network uptime and smooth cutovers.
Method of Procedure (MOPs)
Your network is unique. And while Generic MOPs are available to address most projects, customer and/or site specific procedures can be produced per customer requirements. These procedures address the specific steps and sequence required to ensure the installation, commissioning, and cutover is done with minimum impact on site operation.
Syncworks has experience performing smooth cutovers on networks across the nation. We have developed best practices and thinking beyond-the-clock to properly service your network as a whole.
Installation & Commissioning
Syncworks expertise in installation & commissioning services is second-to-none. With our team of experienced telecom professionals, we provide the needed level of installation and commissioning services for synchronization equipment, from simple BITS Clock installs to complete turnkey synchronization projects.
We provide installation, power-up and provisioning of new sync equipment, integration with existing legacy equipment during conversion, and thorough testing and documentation of the operation of the new sync equipment (pre and post conversion).
Sync Cutovers
Syncworks specializes in providing the expertise to manage signal qualification, phase alignment, element provisioning, and other factors required to provide hitless cutovers of any size offices. Our combination of experience, best practice and comprehensive MOPs ensure your project’s success.
Documentation
Accurate and complete timing records are needed to ensure your future operation and growth is trouble-free. Syncworks has experience providing you with clear and accurate records.
This record-keeping includes a completion report documenting the work done, a complete listing of the timing leads and timed network elements and labeling of all timing leads with source/destination tags at each end.
Along with our comprehensive operator training and engineering support, Syncworks network documentation keeps you on top of your network sync.
Operator Training
Our support goes beyond the installation. Syncworks ensures that your network is in capable hands through operator training.
Syncworks generally provides basic operator training for any newly installed synchronization equipment at the completion of the job. In addition, we can provide your team with full training classes.
We share our expertise with you staff, covering all the aspects of network synchronization as well as the operation and maintenance of installed timing equipment.
