Multi-user capability

Precise synchronization in today’s evolving mobile backhaul network has never been so vital: Increasing usage of smart phones and other mobile devices means escalating traffic and demand for more and more bandwidth; the deployment of new technologies such as LTE means increased complexity; and crucially, almost all routers, Ethernet switches, MSPTs etc now support synchronization standards such as Sync-E (ITU-T G.8262) and PTP (IEEE 1588v2) as they integrate PTP Slave/Boundary Clock functionality.

Equally vital is ensuring NE’s synchronization mechanisms perform exactly the way they were designed – before deployment. And that means rigorously measuring frequency and time simultaneously. With the power to make lengthy simultaneous measurements, whether for long term Software

Regression/System Verification Testing or during Acceptance and Installation Testing, the Calnex Paragon-t is quite simply the tool of choice.

The Paragon-t lets you make 4 Frequency, plus 4 Phase (1pps) and 4 ToD display measurements simultaneously. In other words, 12 simultaneous measurements saving you days of test time, greatly increasing test coverage, and saving on test equipment.

So if you need to verify multiple software releases each year, verify network equipment during vendor selection, acceptance test or field trials, or verify the Installation of synchronization equipment, now you can be sure your NEs meet performance and quality standards. Better still, the Paragon-t lets you do it faster, more thoroughly and with less equipment than ever before.
