TimeProvider ® 4100 High Accuracy Time Server

The TimeProvider® 4100 is Microsemi's next generation timing equipment. The TimeProvider® 4100 allows you to receive signals from a variety of timing sources, including GPS, SyncE, PTP protocols (IEEE 1588 v2), E1 channels and then distribute them over the network as PTP, NTP, SyncE or E1 protocols, 10 MHz and etc. A wide range of features and high stability make it possible to use this equipment as a universal synchronization platform for a wide range of tasks in communication networks, including networks based on the latest 5G standards.

The TimeProvider® 4100 is designed without fans, which increases the reliability of the equipment. To increase the capacity and improve the reliability of the synchronization node, two 4100s can be connected together in a master/slave principle via the ToD interface.

Peculiarities:

• The 4100 base unit contains 8 GbE ports supporting PTP and NTP protocols, as well as 4 x E1, 2 x 1 PPS/ToD, 2 1 PPS/10 MHz ports, 1 satellite receiver input, terminal port.
  
• The built-in 72-channel GPS receiver, combined with Microsemi's unique Active Temperature Compensation technology, achieves better than 10 ns (RMS) UTC accuracy.
  

Application area:
The TimeProvider 4100 supports the following PTP protocol profiles (IEEE 1588 v2): Telecom 2008, G.8265.1, G.8275.1 and G.8275.2. It can be used as a high precision PTP Grandmaster, APTS or edge clock source. Flexible architecture and variety of interfaces will allow TimeProvider 4100 to be used in networks: 2G/3G/4G (including LTE-FDD, LTE-TDD, LTE-A)/5G, in TDM or IP networks, in cable TV networks.
