T-Mobile Netherlands has deployed and fully implemented Oscilloquartz's OSA 5420 Series for its nationwide TD-LTE network to meet skyrocketing levels of data demand and also equip in readiness for LTE Advanced Pro, eLTE and 5G.
Oscilloquartz, an ADVA Optical Networking company, said the OSA 5420 Series grandmaster clocks provide the sub-microsecond accuracy required for next-generation mobile applications as well as an unprecedented level of robustness and scalability.
In order to meet mobile backhaul requirements both now and in the future, T-Mobile Netherlands has deployed the OSA 5420 Series in its core network and at metro aggregation points.
By harnessing the latest IEEE 1588v2 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) technology, the solution enables accurate phase synchronization throughout the national infrastructure. This makes emerging technologies possible such as coordinated multipoint transmission for enhanced data availability. Despite its small footprint, the OSA 5420 Series also delivers the highest level of holdover performance available on the market, giving T-Mobile Netherlands the ultimate protection from GNSS outages.
For even greater levels of availability and resiliency, the OSA 5420 Series comprehensively supports all major GNSS constellations.
