Description
As the world prepares for 5G, the levels of synchronization accuracy and speed of data transfer required are increasing exponentially. In response, the ITU-T is enhancing the G.827x series of standards to cover next-generation accuracy requirements to ensure that Ethernet systems are robust against varying transmission delays and other effects that can significantly disrupt the precise transfer of timing. The Paragon-neo is the latest platform from Calnex, providing PTP and SyncE testing of speeds up to 100GbE. It’s designed to meet the stringent test requirements of NEMs who are developing, verifying and manufacturing devices against enhanced timing standards such as for ITU-T G.8273.2 Class-C/D Boundary Clocks. And for those designing and deploying 5G networks and systems.
