Time & Frequency Solutions Integrates Semtech into Boxed IEEE1588v2 Solutions for Wireless IP Backhaul and Other ApplicationsSemtech, ACS95xx Product Platform has been successfully integrated into Time & Frequency Solution Camarillo, California - January 12, 2010 Semtech Corp. (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, today announced that Time & Frequency Solutions (TFS) has selected the company's ToPSync™ IEEE1588v2 product platform as its primary choice of synchronization technology and will integrate the devices into its IP-enabled precision time delivery product line.
"We have worked very closely with Semtech for several years to ensure the performance and reliability of the solution. Semtech is undoubtedly leading the market in silicon solutions, but not everyone can make use of that today. We are pleased to be able to offer a leading solution enabling wireless carriers to realize the significant cost and efficiency savings offered by full IP backhaul. This is a new and exciting opportunity for us that complements our existing offerings. We are ready to move fast, bringing either a turnkey solution or a tailor-made special to market in a very short time. ToPSync is an ideal solution and Semtech's high level of integration has enabled us to bring a very cost-effective product to market," he said. TFS is currently using ToPSync in its PTP80 grandmaster product along with its PTP Slave Network Time Client. "We are certainly pleased to work with Time & Frequency Solutions and for the company to endorse the ToPSync product platform," said Rich Lansdowne, Director of Advanced Communications at Semtech. "TFS is offering a ready-made solution to enable existing networks to migrate immediately to IP backhaul. The company's ability to rapidly create custom solutions also brings major advantages to carrier customers. We are also excited to see how widely ToPSync technology is now being deployed in IP synchronized networks with 100% problem-free performance." The ToPSync ACS95xx platform delivers high-precision IEEE1588v2-based clock synchronization on IP networks using Semtech's ToPSync clock recovery algorithm. ToPSync delivers the precise timing required for frequency accuracy of better than 10 parts per billion (ppb) and time accuracy of up to 1us over the public IP network by automatically adapting to packet delay variation, packet jitter and network reconfigurations, and by incorporating a holdover feature to maintain clock accuracy in the event of network failure. The ACS9500 product family includes:
