    TimeHub 5500
    NEBS Level 3 Certified Building Integrated Timing Supply for Carrier Class Networks


    The TimeHub™ 5500 is the next generation Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) designed for carrier class networks. TimeHub is an NGN ready platform designed to meet all traditional central office synchronization and timing requirements, and to provide next generation PackeTime™ solutions critical to advanced service offerings such as IPTV. Already deployed as the workhorse for major fiber deployments in North America, the imeHub 5500 is the platform of choice for elivery of carrier class NTP required to assure high QoS delivery of NGN applications
    and content.

     
    Carrier Class NTP for NGN Telecom Networks
    Plug-in NTP Server Cards Leverage the TimeHub Building Integrated Timing Supply


    NTP requirements in telecommunication networks have rapidly evolved from a “best effort” utility, to a mission critical requirement for high QoS content delivery. Carriers have long relied on the Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) to meet all physical layer synchronization requirements with five nines availability. With the introduction of high performance NTP servers on a card, the BITS platform can now deliver carrier class NTP to meet demanding NGN PackeTime requirements. Designed to take full advantage of the Building Integrated Timing Supply environment, TimeHub®’s NTP server cards provide the performance, scale, availability and security to assure high QoS delivery of advanced services such as IPTV.

    TimePictra
    Carrier Class Synchronization Management


    TimePictra™ is a web-enabled synchronization network management system. This carrierclass
    platform has an open, scalable, modular architecture that will grow and evolve with the network.

    Network management is a key step towards ensuring control and visibility of the entire network. The synchronization system must be capable of keeping pace with the growth and evolution of the network in general and the sync network in particular. TimePictra offers this and more with its open, multi-tier architecture. New network elements can be rapidly added to the large list of manageable elements. TimePictra integrates with higherlevel systems through north-bound interfaces, allowing rapid problem identification in a Network Operation Center (NOC) environment, while adding a large number of value-added features and functions that are unique to the sync network.
