Microchip’s TimeProvider XT extension system migrates E1, T1, or CC synchronization outputs to a fully redundant TimeProvider 4100 grandmaster. The accessory device allows operators to replace existing SONET/SDH frequency equipment, while adding timing and phase, essential for 5G networks.
Each TimeProvider XT shelf is configured with two distribution modules and two plug-in modules. Together, they provide 40 redundant and individually programmable outputs with synchronization that meets ITU-T G.823 requirements for the control of wander and jitter. Operators can scale up to 200 fully redundant T1/E1/CC communication outputs by connecting five XT shelves to a pair of grandmasters. All configuration, status monitoring, and alarm reporting is done through the grandmaster.
TimeProvider is compatible with DCD, SSU 2000, TSG-3800, and TimeHub systems’ wire-wrap and output panels, eliminating the need to rewire network elements. A composite clock (CC) input allows for live in-service CC phase cutovers, typically performed during maintenance windows to ensure continuous network synchronization.
The TimeProvider XT extension system is available now for purchase. Contact a Microchip sales representative or authorized distributor.
