A partnership between mobile backhaul solutions company Raisecom
Technology and precise timekeeping equipment manufacturer Symmetricom
successfully tested the interoperability of LTE wireless backhaul networks
through the use of synchronization.
As part of their SyncWorld Ecosystem Program, Raisecom and
Symmetricom executed a comprehensive interoperability test. Their aim was to use
ITU.T G.8261 and the IEEE 1588-2008 synchronization protocol to validate LTE
mobile backhaul deployment scenarios over packet networks.
For the test, Raisecom provided its iTN201 Carrier Ethernet
Edge device, which was powered by a Symmetricom TimeProvider 5000 IEEE
1588-2008 Grandmaster clock.
The Symmetricom clock is a carrier-grade timing source that boasts
of high client capacity, hardware-based packet processing, and redundant
hardware. It matches up the synchronization needs of next-generation networks
like as Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE), IEEE 1588 (PTP), and Network Time
Protocol (NTP) timing protocols that operate using the iTN201 Carrier Ethernet
Edge.
The successful test with Symmetricom means that Raisecom has
achieved the status of a SyncWorld network equipment partner. Network equipment partners are technology
vendors that have performed extensive and successful interoperability testing
with Symmetricom timekeeping products. Raisecom and its fellow partners will work together in various ways to ensure effective
operation of the joint solution in specific scenarios.
By testing its systems' interoperability with mobile backhaul networks,
Raisecom will help wireless network carriers and service providers to find
cost-effective and future-proof ways to establish new networks or upgrade existing
wireless networks.
