Legacy Equipment
Legacy Timing Platforms We Support and Replace
Syncworks has supported network timing infrastructure for over two decades, including the platforms the industry has since discontinued. As an authorized stocking reseller for legacy Symmetricom, Microsemi, Microchip, Datum, and DCD equipment, we carry hard-to-find spare cards and replacement parts, and when the time comes to modernize, our engineers design the upgrade path on your timeline.
