Advantages of PTP-SYNC over UltraSync
PTP-SYNC has several advantages over the UltraSync solution:
•
PTP-SYNC does not require individual GPS receivers, nor must they be located
close to the ODUs. This reduces the complexity and the cost of the installation on
the mast.
•
The GPS receiver can be located anywhere with a clear view of the sky, offering
additional flexibility in the installation.
•
The PTP-SYNC solution is compatible with standard 1 Hz interfaces, allowing an
operator to take advantage of alternative timing references that may be already
present at the site.
•
The recommended GPS receiver continues to provide accurate timing even after
the number of received satellites has dropped down to one, leading to
significantly better availability of the reference signal.
•
The PTP-SYNC offers the possibility of creating synchronized single-hub networks
where no GPS receiver is required.
