5G Timing & Synchronization
Communications
Syncworks provides the resilient, scalable, and standards-compliant timing and synchronization solutions essential for today’s demanding telecom environments, helping operators mitigate GNSS risks and meet evolving 5G requirements.
Today’s Networks Demand Security and Microsecond Precision
Modern telecommunications infrastructure must support next-generation services, but operators face mounting pressure to deliver:
Ultra-low latency for 5G applications
Seamless connectivity across complex architectures
Carrier-grade reliability and performance
The Result Is Unprecedented Timing Reliance and Complexity
The push for advanced services brings critical synchronization challenges, including:
-
GNSS vulnerability at scale across thousands of cell sites exposed to jamming, spoofing, and space weather disruptions.
-
Legacy system dependencies with complex migrations from BITS/TDM to packet-based PTP while maintaining service continuity.
-
Performance degradation due to high packet delay variation (PDV) affecting timing accuracy across transport networks.
-
Stringent timing requirements with sub-microsecond accuracy demands for TDD, beamforming, and Massive MIMO technologies.
-
Interoperability challenges between multiple vendors and evolving standards in packet timing protocols.
-
Network architecture evolution from centralized to disaggregated requiring precise coordination across fronthaul, midhaul, and backhaul.
