PARAGON-M-1

PARAGON-M The total solution for Ethernet Mobile Backhaul TELECOM NETWORKS PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION POWER & UTILITIES As Ethernet sweeps in to address the huge capacity expansion requirements for mobile backhaul, this also brings completely new methods of synchronization. Network performance depends on proving overall synchronization quality and probing its underlying packet-layer and physical layer mechanisms. Oscilloquartz has teamed up with the leading test sets manufacturer Calnex to bring you the definitive testers for Sync-E, 1588v2 PTP and NTP synchronization mechanisms as well as E1/T1/ToD sync interfaces and Ethernet OAM. The Paragon-m brings together all the measurements you need for successful field deployment and troubleshooting tests on Ethernet backhaul synchronization. Simultaneous measurements: - Sync-E MTIE/TDEV - 1588v2 PTP and NTP PDV - E1/T1 MTIE/TDEV - Time of-day accuracy - CES PDV Correlate sync interface quality with packet PDV Capture and decode Sync and OAM packet flows Prove and diagnose Sync-E Measure Sync-E wander to G.8262/G.8261 MTIE/TDEV pass/fail evaluation to standard or user mask 1ns accuracy ESMC (SSM) message testing and proving to G.8264 Capture long-term 1588v2 and NTP PDV ITU-T Performance Metrics Time-of-day (ToD) accuracy measurement Troubleshoot 1588v2, NTP protocol and PDV issues Save captured PDVs for subsequent replay in the lab

The total solution for Ethernet Mobile Backhaul Make commissioning and maintaining Sync-E, 1588v2 PTP, NTP and CES networks fast, easy and effective. As with all telecoms technologies, the successful deployment of Sync-E and PTP/NTP depends on rigorous standards to allow interworking and satisfactory network performance. It is therefore vital to measure in accordance with those standards at all interface points in the network, and in particular, correlating measurements from the packet and recovered timing domains. And because today’s standards continually evolve to include new measurements,...
