Conemtech released the P51S. The P51S is a new member of the P5 series
of OEM products for IEEE 1588 synchronization. The new product brings
the total cost of ownership down to a minimum for integrating and
maintaining IEEE 1588 functionality into existing products - this time
for optical gigabit networks.
The version of Precise Time Protocol (PTP) for packet based
synchronization of time and frequency in networks introduced in 2008
has recently been officially adopted by the telecommunications and
power industries. The Conemtech platform products in the P5 series
dramatically shorten the time to market for products requiring to be
synchronized according to the IEEE 1588-2008 standard in those
industries.
The new P51S board is intended for optical network with gigabit speed
and complements the P50S which is the slightly smaller version for the
electrical Fast Ethernet networks. The P5 series of platform products
are based on the Conemtech M50 module as a center piece. This proven
module contains all the necessary functions for either a grandmaster
clock or a slave clock in a PTP system. It enables the P5 series of
products to work flawlessly with leading brands of PTP enabled
switches, but do not require them for a normal operation.
“The P51S contains a standard compliant implementation of an
ordinary clock. The unique testing possibility offered by the Munich
plug-fest this week proved that the product is developed according to
the existing standards to interoperate with products of other industry
leaders”, says Ola Andersson, CEO of the Kista based company
focused on bringing miniaturized technologies to the synchronization
market.
