September 26, 2012, Conemtech announced instantPTP packet network synchronizers. Customers now are able to obtain high accuracy synchronization via the IEEE 1588–2008 standard by just adding a single component to a new or existing design. Conemtech's instant PTP technology allows users to buy a single component and implement IEEE 1588 synchronization without extensive development costs or design-in times. instant PTP can be applied to new systems or retrofitted to existing designs, and does not require extensive knowledge of IEEE 1588 protocols. Besides the IEEE 1588-2008 default profile, Conemtech supports the ITU defined telecom profiles and the power profiles for unprecedented and complete application coverage.
The instantPTP products connect and adapt to different line conditions, entirely without the need for software integration in its host system or extensive field tests to establish the best set of parameters. The instant PTP products are primarily targeted as slave clocks in the packet network. New application methods are opened with the instant PTP technology. Connecting as a “bump on the wire” using two Ethernet channels is key to this approach. It is very easy to insert the Conemtech P50 board-level product, or a one square inch M50 module, into the signal path and benefit from having distributed GPS-like accuracy in an embedded environment.
These instant PTP system components terminate the synchronization protocol communication without interfering with the host data payload. To secure the synchronization process long term, instantPTP products are IPv6 capable from the start for synchronization, and an SSH server offers secure remote access and maintenance.
