Vitesse Builds Momentum with 1588v2 Timing for Backhaul

Vitesse Semiconductor has captured multiple design wins with nine of the market share leaders in the IP Edge microwave/millimeter-wave backhaul networking equipment space. The company calculates that these OEM customers account for nearly 60% market share in the microwave backhaul and 75% in the millimeter-wave backhaul segments.

Vitesse's VeriTime distributed timing technology ensures the highest accuracy IEEE1588v2 timing for IP Edge networks. Vitesse's recent presentation of performance results to the ITU-T documented VeriTime's better than 3ns per node accuracy over a nine-node IEEE1588v2 Transparent Clock (TC) network chain and superior long-term phase stability, making it the industry's only solution that fulfills TD-LTE and LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) requirements in real-world tests today.

"Timing accuracy requirements for 4G/LTE-A/TD-LTE are at least six times more stringent than for 3G," said Pat Diamond, timing industry veteran and pioneering member of the IEEE1588-2008 PTP Working Group, of Diamond Consulting. "Clearly, network equipment OEMs recognize this fact. Given the rigorous level of timing accuracy for LTE networks simply to function, solutions like Vitesse's VeriTime enable OEMs to future-proof their equipment for tomorrow's wireless backhaul networks." http://www.vitesse.com/
