Synchronization and Timing in Packet-Based Mobile Backhaul

RAD’s SyncTop-Enabled Cell-Site Gateways and Demarcation Devices

Clocking data, which has been transmitted natively in TDM networks, requires special attention in new packet switched networks (PSNs) as these are asynchronous by nature and introduce inaccuracies. The following paper explains the need for packet timing and synchronization in mobile backhaul and reviews the most popular methods in use today. It also introduces RAD’s revolutionary SyncToP platform and the benefits it brings to operators and transport providers in cost-effectively eliminating the risk of service disruptions, impaired cell hand-offs and excessive dropped calls.
