- New OSA 5410XG meets demand for reliable edge synchronization and enhanced efficiency in high-bandwidth environments
- Latest addition to Adtran’s Oscilloquartz portfolio is a PTP grandmaster for edge deployment with 10G interfaces and real-time sync monitoring
- Compact, robust solution with programmable I/O and support for all relevant PTP profiles offers precise timing for any mission-critical PNT network
Adtran today launched the OSA 5410XG, the latest addition to its Oscilloquartz portfolio of precision timing solutions. Building on the success of the widely adopted OSA 5410, this next-generation product is the first in the Oscilloquartz family of PTP grandmaster devices designed specifically for edge network deployment. The compact and highly reliable solution supports 10Gbit/s interfaces, meeting the timing demands of modern high-bandwidth networks. Featuring Syncjack™ technology for real-time synchronization monitoring, the OSA 5410XG helps maintain assured positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) by detecting and resolving sync issues before they impact services. It will benefit a wide range of industries, such as telecom, where precise timing is critical for 5G; power utilities modernizing smart grids; broadcasters managing live content distribution; and the defense sector, which requires secure and reliable communication.
“The demand for efficient, reliable and low-cost synchronization at the network’s edge has never been greater. Edge timing devices must be compact, robust and capable of handling high-bandwidth requirements to ensure optimal performance. Supporting 10Gbit/s data rates is also crucial for accurately maintaining high-speed transmission and network efficiency. That’s why we engineered the OSA 5410XG. With advanced 10Gbit/s interfaces, it meets the needs of even the most demanding network environments, from enabling 5G rollouts in telecom to supporting smart grids, secure defense communications and real-time broadcasting,” said Gil Biran, GM of Oscilloquartz, Adtran. “Purpose-built for edge applications, the OSA 5410XG offers exceptional performance and reliability, making it an ideal choice compared to more expensive and complex options.”
