Today telecommunication providers are constantly faced with the demands of delivering packaged hi speed services across legacy and next-generation infrastructures (Optical Networks, IP Based Infrastructure or Broadband Mobility), as a result the ability to manage complex synchronization and timing problems plays a critical role in ensuring the highest quality of service to the consumer.

SONET/SDH/Synchronous Ethernet - Our precision quartz-based (phase-locked loops) products deliver low jitter timing distribution in support of the ITU G.8262 standard for Synchronous Ethernet. Many of our Frequency Translation products combine inherent high Q quartz-based oscillators with advanced performance PLL designs that enable communications customers to bridge high quality clock synchronization to the Ethernet.

IEEE-1588 Version 2 - The IEEE-1588 precision time protocol (PTP) is a standard for a protocol to synchronize independent clocks running on separate nodes for a distributed network system to a high degree of accuracy and precision. As the next generation network migrates to a dynamic IP-based infrastructure, Vectron Precision oscillators will continue to be the heartbeat of the network as the network transports a reference clock across a packet switched network. With the emergence of IEEE-1588 V2 to distribute the element of timing in a packet network we have a full portfolio of oscillators to choose from based on your timing requirements and applications. We continue to work with our customers to offer the best performing precision oscillators to meet the evolving network timing requirements.

40G / 100G - The explosive growth in Internet traffic for video over IP is creating the need to rapidly scale the world's IP infrastructure. This has a direct impact on IP backbone network capacity, router-to-router link bandwidth, individual core router size and the performance of optical transport networks used to carry traffic across wide area networks. The Telecommunication Industry on the verge of another shift in transmission rates and how to handle the migration from today's 10G networks to 40G deployments and 100G looming large on the horizon as its replacement. Vectron is committed to help our customers spur innovation and growth to help tackle the challenges of telecommunications industry and help accelerate the development of the 40GbE and 100GbE infrastructure needed to deliver multimedia services.

Wireless

The move to a dynamic IP-based infrastructure holds great technological challenges as service providers and users are looking for wireless technologies that offer better performance and more advanced capabilities than their predecessors. Future Base Station deployments will enable IP based voice, data and streaming multimedia at higher speeds. The approached could go beyond the cell phone and provide mobile data services to consumer- electronics and future device that currently don't have Web access. New networks will have access to a growing wave of devices enabled with mobile broadband silicon, combined with new applications offers the service providers the opportunity to deliver new services realizing new revenue streams.

4G-LTE - The move to a dynamic IP based infrastructure will need a significant increase in backhaul capacity in order to deliver on the capabilities of its enhanced air interface and 100Mbps down and 50mbps up speeds. Advances in oscillator modeling will enable lower cost oscillators to be used to extend holdover performance and insure reliable performance. We continue to work closely with our customers to enhance the design of core timing, frequency and synchronization for emerging 4G applications.

WiMAX - Worldwide inter operability for Microwave access (WiMAX) networks is a promising technology for delivery of fully mobile personal broadband services. Synchronization is important to Base Station operators who do not compromise between speed of transmission, Quality of Service and optimal usage of limited Bandwidth.

Femto Cells - As mobile operators extend service coverage inside a home or building without the need for a cell tower, Femto cells precision oscillator requirements will evolve depending on the application and synchronization requirements. With the emergence of Precision Time Protocol (PTP) utilizing a master clock in the network providing a timing reference to the slave clocks at the Femto access points, Vectron oscillators will continue to provide the heartbeat of the next generation network. Our continued innovations in crystal design and power consumption will allow the industry to continue to meet its high standards.

Public Safety - In the last decade, new digital land mobile radio (LMR) communication systems have been developed to meet the growing needs of public safety. The need for communication inter operability for Homeland security remains the goal. Vectron's products are utilized in Software defined, multiband and multi-transmission radios that cover the full VHF and UHF spectrum.
