TELECOM SOLUTIONS TimeMAX Precision Frequency and Timing Subsystem KEY FEATURES • Provides 10 MHz & 1PPS • Synchronized to GPS • Available in Three Different Variations (with Varying Holdover and Phase Noise Specifications) • Runs on 12 VDC Power Supply APPLICATIONS • WiMAX Mobile Base Station Timing • Broadcast (DVB/DVB-H, DAB, and DTV) • Cellular Base Station (CDMA, TDMA, and UMTS) • Fixed Wireless (MMDS, LMDS, and Wireless Local Loop) • Asset Location, E911 TimeMAX™ is a flexible GPS-disciplined time and frequency reference platform. With its compact size, simple interface, and outstanding holdover performance, the TimeMAX offers breakthrough price-performance in an adaptable, high-performance system. The TimeMAX synchronization platform enables rapid development of timing subsystems for OEM applications in base stations, transmission stations and similar equipment. This cost-effective system was designed for easy integration into existing communications and network equipment. TimeMAX is optimized to support high levels of Quality of Service (QoS) and handoff performance in WiMAX and other multiple latency- and jitter-sensitive applications, such as voice, real time video and gaming. WiMAX requires both frequency and time synchronization. Mobile WiMAX was specified to handle frequency re-use and full Quality of Service handoffs between base stations. GPS is the current recommended source for synchronization for WiMAX base stations. These applications and other advanced services are driving the need for end-to-end network synchronization, pushing precise timing and frequency into areas throughout the network. The TimeMAX platform provides different oscillator choices at different price-performance levels to support all of these requirements. TimeMAX 400
