edgeSync+™ | OSA 5420 Series

Compact PTP grandmaster, multi-interfaces

As radio access networks evolve to support ever higher data rates, assured phase, frequency and time-
of-day synchronization at the edge of mobile backhaul networks becomes essential. But achieving this
in a cost-effective way is a major challenge.
Are you struggling with high packet delay variation and delay asymmetries across your mobile backhaul network?
Do you have difficulties in meeting frequency and phase synchronization accuracies required by 5G and LTE Advanced
technology? Our OSA 5420 Series can help. This family of IEEE 1588v2 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) grandmaster devices has
been optimized for deployment at the network edge. It ensures that cost-effective and accurate synchronization is no longer
a challenge. What’s more, with its NTP server and GNSS receiver capabilities including multiple synchronization fan-out
options, our OSA 5420 Series is also ideal for deployment in legacy synchronization architectures.

Note: The above are typical values (1 sigma confident) assuming controlled temperature environment, after the device has been powered for one month

significant temperature variations are presented.
