A Set of Scalable Master Clock Systems Based on Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Products

Abstract

In any large telecommunication network, stable clocks are necessary to ensure the reliable transmission of information. The paper explores the development of a solution to this problem by creating a scaleable group of Master Station Clock systems. These systems are based upon using commercially available GPS-based hardware manufactured by TrueTime, Inc. These systems generate the signals required to provide syntonization and synchronization to a worldwide communication network using of TDM, SONET, IP, and ATM technologies.
