No other company in the world can offer our product breadth, precision
and expertise in GPS and time code instruments.
Symmetricom has been providing Timing and Synchronization solutions
for communications and satellite and ground based instrumentation from
the beginning of the GPS program. Our time and frequency generators,
receivers, and other GPS related instrumentation, were the early adopters
of the GPS technology at its inception, and furthered its reliance on the
GPS program as it grew to full operation with satellites hovering 20,000
plus kilometers over the earth.
From minimal infrastructure investment to missile launches we offer GPS
and time code instrumentation solutions for multiple applications and
a wide customer base.

XLi, Time and Frequency System
The modular ultra precision Model XLi Time and Frequency System is the
most precise, versatile and flexible solution for timing and synchronization
requirements.
One of the great design benefits of the XLi is that, because of its variety
of option cards, a company can customize it to fit to their specific
application needs. Whether your application demands redundancy in
power supplies, GPS, or any other function, all it takes is the proper
configuration of cards.
XLi Option Cards
The XLi's wide range of option cards also makes it easy to adapt your XLi
configuration if your application needs change. Plug-and-play cards and
built-in XLi option card recognition software lets you swap out modules
without modifying your operating system.

Ultra-Precise, GPS Referenced IEEE 1588 Grandmaster Clock
and IEEE 1588 Accuracy Measurement System

IEEE 1588 Precise Time Protocol (PTP), with nanosecond caliber time
transfer accuracy, provides a significant improvement in synchronization
over Ethernet networks. This technology offers major cost savings in time
distribution since it can be deployed using hardware clocks and standard
Ethernet LAN hubs, switches and Cat 5 cables. The low overhead,
multicast protocol can use the same LAN as normal network traffic.
XLi IEEE-1588 Grandmaster
The XLi IEEE-1588 Grandmaster contains a dedicated 1588 time stamp
processor. Operating at 100Base-Tx line speed with deep time stamp
packet buffers, the XLi Grandmaster can support thousands of 1588
slaves. This is made possible in part by sending periodic 1588 Sync &
Follow_Up messages using multicast addressing, and in part by being
able to quickly and accurately process 1588 slave initiated Delay_Req
and Delay_Resp messages.
IEEE-1588 Grandmaster Measurement Capabilities
Ideal for measurement purposes, the XLi Grandmaster can also operate
as a 1588 slave. Network elements such as hubs and switches degrade
time transfer accuracy when using 1588 over Ethernet. Switches in
particular add nondeterministic latency and jitter to packet transit times
from a 1588 master to 1588 slaves. As a result, the 1588 slave
synchronization accuracy is degraded from that of the master.

Symmetricom’s XL-750 GPS Time Source has been developed to
address key power industry timing requirements. Whether it’s the monitor,
control or analysis of the power system, the XL-750 is the cost-effective
GPS time synchronization solution.

The XL-750 directly meets the recent recommendations from NERC
(North American Electric Reliability Council) for event timing at power
substations. Specifically, it fully satisfies NERC’s Recommendation # 12
concerning GPS time-synchronized recording devices.
Using GPS satellites, the XL-750 generates extremely accurate output
pulses and time codes in multiple formats and offers superb timing
accuracy (100nanoseconds to UTC). The XL-750 synchronizes a wide
variety of microprocessor-based power system equipment including:
SCADA systems, remote terminal units (RTUs), protection relays,
sequence of event recorders, digital fault recorders, power/tariff meters
and other intelligent electronic devices (IEDs).

Down / Up Converter
GPS signal down/up conversion is
required when signal losses in the
antenna cable limit the distance
between the receiver and the
antenna assembly. At just over 250
feet (76 meters) in cable length, the
benefits can be realized using a
Down / Up Converter assembly
versus the use of low loss cable and
amplifiers. Signal strengths and
noise immunity as well as the cost
benefits over the use of low loss
cable and amplifiers are the main
advantages of using the Antenna
Down / Up Converter assembly.
