With every generation of mobile network such as 5G comes a typical network upgrade with ever-evolving network speeds. A 1588 Grandmaster does not require high-speed networks for timing and synchronization in critical infrastructure, even when it comes to high accuracy. But what is required is the ability to connect the Grandmaster to various network elements, from switches to routers, cell site routers and even directly to base stations, when needed.
In fact, O-RAN specifies architecture splits—one key scenario for a Grandmaster to connect to a gNodeB directly. Many of these do not support 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) or 10 GbE anymore and require at least a 25 GbE connection. This is also true for network elements that often skip 25 GbE and 40 GbE technology overall and evolve directly to support at least 50 GbE and most often 100 GbE.
This is why the newly announced TimeProvider 4500 is a critical Grandmaster for evolving network infrastructures. TP4500 supports 1 GbE, 10 GbE and 25 GbE. A multiple of 25 GbE such as 100 GbE can be considered to connect the TimeProvider 4500 Grandmaster via a breakout cable to a high-speed 100 GbE router, for instance.
The TimeProvider 4500 is the first Grandmaster in the marketplace to support 25 GbE ports. It is critical to protecting investments in timing and synchronization to connect to various generations of network elements as networks get upgraded and network speed requirements continue to increase.
