OptiSynx is a new technology company based in Cambridge, UK developing the next generation solid state Stratum 1 frequency standards. Time and frequency standards are extensively used throughout telecommunications and IT networks. With OptiSynx technology customers of accurate time and frequency sources are finally able to obtain what they have been wanting for a long time - a clock of sufficient accuracy that has a low initial cost, low cost of ownership, long lifetime, low maintenance, low power consumption and is robust at the right price point. It is a new technology company based in Cambridge, UK developing the next generation solid state Stratum 1 frequency standards. Time and frequency standards are extensively used throughout telecommunications and IT networks. With OptiSynx technology customers of accurate time and frequency sources are finally able to obtain what they have been wanting for a long time - a clock of sufficient accuracy that has a low initial cost, low cost of ownership, long lifetime, low maintenance, low power consumption and is robust at the right price point. This sets up a requirement for constant, regular resynchronization of all the low cost local oscillators throughout the multiple layers of the entire network. Not only are many applications reaching the point where the errors introduced by transmitting time too large, but with the introduction of next generation packet networks there is no longer any easy way to continue transmitting time through networks. OptiSynx exists because of the increasing need for local precision time and frequency sources of up to Stratum 1 level, at a price-point to allow every node of a network to be populated. OptiSynx maintains close links with customers to ensure that the products it is developing are those that they want.
