Where do I deploy SyncWatch?
• At the fringe of your network where it meets another operator or client’s network. • Backhaul carriers would deploy at the customer premises • An operator, wireless or wireline, would deploy at the point of connection to another carrier. • SLA defence or policing – If you have a sync SLA you will need to deploy SyncWatch. How does SyncWatch work? SyncWatch consists of a probe deployed in the network at the location sync quality measurement is required, and a central server that gathers information from all deployed probes. SyncWatch has two probe options: • SyncWatch Standard monitors two 2.048Mbps or 2.048MHz feeds – one from your network and one from the network that you are connecting to. An MRTIE (Maximum Relative Time Interval Error) computation is performed. • SyncWatch Reference monitors a single 2.048Mbit or 2.048MHz feed and measures MTIE relative to an internal GPS-disciplined oscillator.
