Grandmaster Solution for E1/T1/CC signals (3rd Generation BITS/SSU)
Modernize BITS SSU Legacy Equipment
In an era where timing systems must bridge legacy TDM frequency requirements and next-generation packet networks, intelligent distribution solutions become crucial. Our Synworks Expansion Panels (SXP) complement 3rd Generation BITS deployments, sensible extending robust timing services across your infrastructure.
As networks face increasing GPS vulnerabilities and demanding 5G requirements, our distribution solution SXP helps to modernize and harden your synchronization architecture while maintaining the flexibility to scale.
Above are four Syncworks Expansion Panels with 20 outputs each and two TimeProvider 4100s.

BITS Technology – Generations One & Two
1st Generation BITS met the needs for the telecom industry’s rising importance in a world where communication needed to be faster and more reliable.
Many of these early systems are still in use today. These workhorses were solidly built but lacking the scalability features required for modern telecom networks.
2nd Generation BITS was an improvement that added remote connectivity and management plus software upgrade functionality along with these products:
- TimeProvider 1100 – seen below
- SSU 2000
- TimeHub 5500
