OVERVIEW

Optimize your 5G CAPEX and OPEX with a GNSS/GPS independent synchronization over existing network

Synchronization is a system-critical function in the fronthaul network that needs careful consideration. GNSS/GPS and/or PTP are typical solutions being used and each one has its own challenges.

With our solution, Precision TimeNet, MNOs can bridge the gaps between PTP enabled units, reach out to physical locations such as indoor malls, where GPS receivers cannot be placed or are unable to work. In the fronthaul network, synchronization is typically based on GNSS/GPS, PTP or a combination of both.

PTN is also used to easily and flexibly deliver reliable time to the Fronthaul network, reaching sites and areas where it is not possible to use other synchronization solutions.

How to secure accurate time to RAN access

Secure and reliable time delivery at the RAN access is a key fundamental to assure service availability in 5G networks. GNSS/GPS is vulnerable due to spoofing and jamming and full on-path PTP requires hardware support in all intermediary network equipment and does not work over leased line connections. An open virtualized synchronization solution working independent of underlying infrastructure and GNSS/GPS can secure accurate time to the RAN.

How to enable cost-efficiency in challenging environments

A fronthaul network consists of demanding environments including both indoor and outdoor, which challenges key network functions like synchronization. GNSS/GPS and full time PTP solutions are limited in terms of security, reliability and availability which drives cost and complexity. Using a virtualized time transport solution that works independently of GNSS/GPS over existing network is the most cost-effective and suitable choice for 5G networks.

How to assure a future proof synchronization

Fronthaul networks will always be dependent on smooth and cost-effective upgrades to avoid compromising with service availability which will negatively impact RoI. An open and disaggregated synchronization solutionsuch as Precision TimeNet is a future proof alternative when looking at moving to ORAN or virtualized environments.
