THE STANDARD

Microchip TimeCesium® 4500

The autonomous TimeCesium 4500 and 4400 PRSs are based on the latest Cesium III technology. They are designed to generate superior and highly reliable synchronization signals for advanced network services that meet the G.811 and G.811.1 standards. The TimeCesium 4500 PRS produces accurate, spectrally pure and stable output signals using a cesium beam tube resonator. It delivers total control of your 5G network synchronization source, enhances network performance, reduces errors in the SONET/SDH payload and prevents upstream network clock errors from propagating across the network.

  • Enhanced Primary Reference Clock (ePRC) compliant per G.811.1
  • Enhanced Primary Reference Time Clock (ePRTC) compliant when used with TimeProvider® 4100 series and ePRTC license

Key Benefits

  • The architecture uses the latest digital technology to provide superior
    performance and maintenance-free operation.
  • It is easy to install and is fully operational in less than 45 minutes.
  • The plug & play architecture provides highly reliable operation over the lifetime of the system.

Network Applications

The 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.
