TELECOM SOLUTIONS TimeHub 5500 NEBS Level 3 Certified Building Integrated Timing Supply for Carrier-Class Networks The TimeHub™ 5500 is the next generation Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) designed for carrier-class networks. TimeHub is an NGN ready platform designed to meet all traditional central office synchronization and timing requirements. It provides next generation packet timing solutions critical to advanced service offerings such as IPTV and wireless backhaul. Already deployed as the workhorse for major fiber deployments in North America, the TimeHub 5500 is the platform of choice for delivery of carrier-class NTP and IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) required to assure high QoS delivery of NGN applications and content. THE TIMEHUB SYSTEM Explosive growth in telecommunication volume, especially in video and data, has led to new technologies and critical applications. Service providers are growing to meet this demand. As a result, the requirements for synchronization have changed dramatically. Symmetricom’s TimeHub 5500 is the next generation BITS. It is a modular, fully redundant timing distribution system that tracks incoming timing references and qualifies the signals against network timing standards. Then, it filters and distributes precise timing to all equipment in the central office. The TimeHub main shelf provides up to 140 1+1 protected outputs. If more outputs are required, up to four expansion shelves can be connected to the main shelf, increasing the capacity to over 1,400 fully protected 1+1 ports per system. MANAGEMENT AND ALARM COLLECTION The TimeHub system provides a new dimension in management by integrating and monitoring the performance of legacy equipment. As an intelligent network element, TimeHub provides full visibility and manageability of all input and output ports and all cards on the main and expansion shelves. System parameters can be modified and controlled through any of its multiple interfaces—serial and Ethernet.
