Description
Network Applications
The Microchip TimeCesium 4500 is used to equip core network offices with Stratum 1 synchronization.
The deployment of sources across the network provides the following benefits:
• Flattens the sync distribution hierarchy
• Lowers the overall OAM&P (Operation,
Administration, Maintenance &
Provisioning) costs
• Reduces the number of network recovery
clocks (TSG/SSU) operating in tandem
• Minimizes pointer adjustments caused by
“frequency errors” in the SONET/SDH
payload
• Prevents up-stream network clock errors
from propagating across the network
• Enhances overall network performance
• Provides total control of network synchronization source
Standards Compliance
The 4500 meets industry standards, including ITU-T, ETSI, ANSI, Telcordia, NEBS, and CE/AS.
