Innovative New Timing and Network Synchronization Products For 5G NR and O-RAN Fronthaul Networks
Skyworks Solutions, announced the launch of its new portfolio of network synchronization solutions, which includes the Si551x and Si540x families of NetSync clock integrated circuit devices and Skyworks’ AccuTime IEEE 1588 software. Each product family is engineered to meet the requirements of mobile operators and equipment vendors for 5G fronthaul networks. Precise and accurate time synchronization is critical to ultra-reliable network operation and is paving the way for future enhancements, including Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC) and Coordinated Multipoint Access (CoMP) that empower 5G to support autonomous vehicles, factory automation, telemedicine and other emerging applications.
