Enhanced Clock Stability for the 1588 enabled network

In Packet based timing, the prediction, monitoring and management of Packet Delay Variation is complex, challenging, potentially costly and still open to random 'network noise' events.
Placing a predictable, stable and cost effective local clock at the client node can greatly improve the odds in dealing with network noise – increased client robustness allows a timing to be deployed across larger and less managed networks, reducing the overall cost of a timing solution.
Vectron matches the stability characteristics of its oscillators with the requirements of 1588 client clocks – this is done by design, but also through a system level verification of the oscillators' suitability in the target application. Choosing oscillators for 1588 applications is in many ways similar to selecting devices to support SONET/SDH 'stratum' level applications. However the role of PDV and any corresponding packet filtering used in a Packet Equipment Clock (PEC) needs to be considered also, since the system loop filter bandwidth is not necessarily pre–defined in the same way as SONET/SDH.
