Net Insight launches Zyntai synchronisation product portfolio optimised for 5G
Net Insight has unveiled its new Zyntai portfolio for next-generation synchronisation solutions. The product family will provide GNSS/GPS-independent synchronisation to 5G mobile and mission-critical networks in a scalable, reliable and cost-effective way.
Zyntai products are said to provide a complete synchronisation solution with advanced algorithms and analytics to ensure high service security and availability, and dramatically reduce capex and opex for network operators.
“Our goal is to enable faster, more secure and cost-efficient 5G rollouts for the world’s mobile operators and help support mission-critical services and applications with high security and reliability,” said Crister Fritzson, CEO of Net Insight. “With the Zyntai portfolio, we enable mobile network operators to achieve the 5G promise of new high-value real-time critical enterprise services and help them secure their 5G return of investment.”
“We have worked in close co-operation with our strategic partner Türk Telekom to gain the operator’s perspective and in-depth insight on how to achieve cost-efficiency in delivering accurate time to thousands of base stations, and managing large heterogeneous 5G networks,” said Per Lindgren, group CTO and head of sync at Net Insight. “While our primary market is 5G networks, the Zyntai products support all markets requiring accurate time synchronisation independent of GNSS/GPS with high security and reliability.”
“With Zyntai we can provide an extremely reliable, predictable and consistent synchronisation solution based on open standards and open APIs. The solution effectively handles asymmetries and traffic variations, keeping accurate time intact and available anywhere in the network,” said Hans Sjöstrand, product manager, sync products at Net insight. “5G is the first mobile generation that is cloud native, and Zyntai’s open and disaggregated design allows synchronisation to be kept separated from the underlying network, enabling operators to become more vendor independent and avoid large and costly network upgrades.”
Zyntai delivers full PTP (Precision Time Protocol) timing support to the network edge over leased lines and existing IP infrastructure without requiring PTP-enabled infrastructure, reducing cost and accelerating 5G rollouts. The Zyntai platform is based on a modern open microservice architecture to guarantee flexibility, scalability and operational simplicity even with thousands of network devices. The advanced streaming telemetry includes more than 100 different synchronisation metrics with nanosecond accuracy, which are constantly made available both via APIs and to the centralised Zyntai Director.
Together with Net Insight’s partner Meinberg, the Zyntai products are said to provide a complete, industry hardened IEEE1588v2 PTP stack supporting telecom, media and power utility profiles to effectively combine accurate time distribution and PTP delivery.
