Orange Egypt has deployed Adva Oscilloquartz’s OSA 5421 as part of a complete synchronization solution. The advanced Precision Time Protocol (PTP) grandmaster clocks will distribute and assure accurate timing throughout the nationwide network. The new end-to-end synchronization solution also meets stringent phase and frequency requirements necessary for Orange Egypt's widespread deployment of Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) capabilities.
This will enable the country's leading mobile service provider to offer 4G services to its mobile customers as well as better quality SLAs to enterprise clients. By investing in Oscilloquartz technology, Orange said it has made sure it has a unified timing solution built by synchronization specialists, ready to support 4G. In October, Orange Egypt became the first mobile operator in the country to acquire a license to operate 4G services. These are now being rolled out with support from the new synchronization network built on the OSA 5421.
This advanced PTP grandmaster clock is a compact and cost-effective synchronization distribution and assurance device complete with Syncjack technology for continual monitoring. Not only does it deliver the accurate phase and frequency information required for Orange Egypt's 4G offerings but, with assisted partial timing support and a high-end quartz oscillator, it also provides extended holdover performance in case of GNSS outages. What's more, the OSA 5421 is optimized for deployment at the network edge, enabling efficient and accurate synchronization.
