TimeProvider® 4100 is a gateway clock, a new class of synchronization products that accepts multiple inputs from global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE), and 1588 PTP and E1/T1 digital transmission links, and distributes timing streams to multiple endpoints such as base stations. A gateway clock benefits from multiple layers of protection that leverage other assets in the network core.
The TP4100 is the best-in-class 1588 master, complemented by a wide range of ports for PTP, Network Time Protocol (NTP), SyncE, and Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS). With multiple ports for current, legacy, and future networks that can connect to multiple base stations for 4G and 5G deployments, the device offers customers a cost-effective solution that can be easily adapted to a wide variety of use cases.
