Symmetricom, Inc. (SYMM) Announces Pletronics Joining the SyncWorld® Ecosystem Program


Symmetricom, a global leader in precision time and frequency technologies, announced today that Pletronics, a trailblazer in frequency control solutions, has joined Symmetricom’s SyncWorld® Ecosystem Program Small Cells Category. Pletronics’ temperature compensated crystal oscillators (TCXO) has successfully passed rigorous testing to qualify for use with Symmetricom SCr and SCe SoftClocks for Network Time Protocol (NTP) and IEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP).

The conversion to all-IP networks and transition to 4G/LTE networks requires incredibly accurate timing and synchronization. In order for customers’ end-to-end deployments to maintain uninterrupted service continuity, successful integration and interoperability are vital. Symmetricom created the SyncWorld Ecosystems Program to meet these requirements and support the shift towards packetized backhaul networks and 4G/LTE mobile platforms by supporting interoperability and cooperation among the manufacturers and suppliers who will deliver products associated with the advanced networking requirements integrated into service providers.

“Precise timing and synchronization are essential for successful deployment of small cells,” said Claude Lee, President at Pletronics. “With small cells placing extreme demands on the reference oscillator for timing solutions, the strategic partnership with Symmetricom will allow us to meet industry needs as these rollouts continue.”

The addition of Pletronics to the newly launched SyncWorld Ecosystem Small Cell Category will provide further benefits for network equipment and small cell manufacturers by offering state-of-the-art precision timing solutions. Specifically, the Pletronics temperature compensated voltage controlled crystal oscillators (TCVCXO) provide the precision and accuracy essential for the Symmetricom SCr/SCe software for Network Time Protocol (NTP) and Precision Time Protocol (PTP).

“We welcome Pletronics as the latest member to the Small Cells Category of our SyncWorld Ecosystem program,” said Manish Gupta , vice president of marketing and business development for Symmetricom. “As small cells continue to gain momentum, it’s important to have partners such as Pletronics, a leading supplier of high-quality crystals and oscillators, to meet service providers’ timing and synchronization requirements.”
