Packet switch Zarlink Semiconductor

General overview
Zarlink's Timing-over-Packet (ToP) technology enables accurate timing and synchronization to be distributed across asynchronous packet infrastructures, allowing carriers to con#dently support time-critical services over packet networks.

The patent-pending ZL30301/2 ToP family is built on a processing engine and software solution that encodes and transmits a master clock over existing Ethernet, IP and MPLS networks, and recovers the clock at client nodes.

With Zarlink's ToP devices, Carriers can lower operating costs by migrating to a truly converged network supporting time-critical services, including voice, video and data services. In some applications, ToP technology replaces GPS receivers and T1/E1 connections that are traditionally required to ensure accurate synchronization.
