ADVA on Thursday announced that Türk Telekom has deployed its Oscilloquartz network timing technology, bringing accurate, robust frequency synchronization to its national transport network.
The compact and flexible OSA 3230B Series cesium clocks enable high levels of frequency stability across Türk Telekom’s timing and sync network and their extended holdover performance protects against GNSS outages. The solution was implemented by ADVA and Türk Telekom’s partner Netaş, which will also provide continuous maintenance and support.
The OSA 3230B Series of compact, autonomous and self-contained cesium primary reference clocks provides an extremely precise atomic frequency standard. Despite its small footprint, the device offers a highly stable reference with minimal frequency drift. When it comes to frequency generation, the OSA 3230B Series performs better than the stringent stipulations laid out by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), with accuracy 10 times above ITU-T G.811 recommendations. By harnessing the OSA 3230B Series, Türk Telekom is protecting its investments and taking a key step in the evolution of its network towards 5G.

With intentional GNSS impairments such as spoofing and jamming on the increase, as well as the threat of unintentional disturbances, it’s vital for decision-makers of mission-critical infrastructure to mitigate against GNSS vulnerabilities.
