Redundant Synchronization for Operators of Critical Digital Broadcast Sites

The first totally integrated dual GPS master clock offers a cost-effective solution for critical transmission points delivering new digital television or radio services
ROCHESTER, NEW YORK and LES ULIS, FRANCE — Spectracom, a company of the Orolia Group (NYSE Alternext Paris – FR0010501015 – ALORO), announces the immediate availability of the EC22S Epsilon Clock™ GPS master clock, a leading synchronization solution for operators of critical transmitters in digital broadcast networks. Differentiated by true redundancy and integrated IP functions, the EC22S is based on the principles of high reliability/ zero down-time, ease of use and ultimately, lower cost of ownership for network operators through improved performance.
Spectracom business development VP, Emmanuel Sicsik-Pare said, “We understand the increasing pressure on network operators to deploy digital services quickly, reliably, with the highest quality of service. The model EC22S specifically addresses those issues for efficient synchronization of the most critical elements of their network infrastructure.” Mr. Sicsik-Pare continued, “We allow for the synchronization of multiple transmitters on the same site, thus mutualizing this function over highly multiplexed sites.”
Synchronization plays a critical role in the reliable operation of digital broadcast deployments, particularly for single frequency networks (SFN) where all transmitter sites in a region use the same frequencies, providing significant spectrum savings for operators. Thanks to the use of the GPS signal reference, the EC22S Epsilon Clock master clock provides a cost-efficient and very accurate UTC aligned time and frequency reference with very low phase noise.
The Model EC22S is the only truly redundant master clock system in a space-saving 2RU chassis which includes redundant power supplies, redundant GPS receivers, and redundant hot-swappable clock modules. In the event of failure of any component, outputs signals are switched with very low phase glitch to ensure continuity of operations. Ease of use is ensured through highly integrated IP management functions. The EC22S can be inserted in the same IT management infrastructure as other elements in the network.
The EC22S retains all the market-leading performance characteristics that have made Spectracom’s Epsilon Clock solutions the most deployed master clocks for digital broadcast applications.
