SAN JOSE, Calif. - Oct. 29, 2009 -- Symmetricom®, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYMM), a worldwide leader in precise time and frequency technologies that accelerate the deployment and enable the management of next generation networks, today announced TimeAnalyzer, a set of comprehensive all-in-one test and measurement tools for collecting and analyzing IEEE 1588 packet-timing data Relevant Products/Services as well as traditional synchronization signals. Ideal for assuring IEEE 1588 network readiness, TimeAnalyzer is the first IEEE 1588 PTP test system available that provides an intuitive pass/fail indication to easily verify PTP performance over packet networks. It helps network designers meet PTP packet sync performance requirements in multiple applications including engineering, network planning, packet-timing deployment and troubleshooting.

TimeAnalyzer test tools will be featured at Carrier Ethernet World APAC Congress, November 2-4, 2009 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and the 7th Time & Synchronization in Telecoms Symposium (ITSF 09), November 3-5, 2009 in Rome, Italy.

"The ability to test, measure and analyze PTP performance prior to full network deployment is essential for carriers to be confident in IEEE 1588 PTP synchronization technology," commented Olga Yashkova, research analyst, test & measurement, Frost & Sullivan. "Symmetricom's PTP performance and measurement analyzer will be an important tool for network system designers to move forward in the deployment of IEEE 1588 PTP synchronization technology in the new Ethernet network."

TimeAnalyzer test tools provide comprehensive functions to measure and analyze packet-timing as well as traditional synchronization. They enable reliable measurement of IEEE 1588 packet flows under a variety of traffic conditions for a broad range of networks with nanosecond accuracy. The easy-to-use graphical user interface enables users to quickly configure a test system, collect PTP data for performance analysis and determine if the end results meet requirements for telecom applications. The portable device is ideally designed for use in the field and in the lab. Data can be collected using a wide range of sampling rates (1Hz to 64 Hz), allowing optimization and validation of the PTP solution prior to full-scale network deployment.

"Symmetricom's extensive experience in IEEE 1588 PTP technology has yielded one of the most comprehensive, powerful set of instruments that combines the features of all other measurement tools to capture the real behavior of the network and its potential impact on the final IEEE 1588 PTP performance," commented Kevin Hsu, vice president of product marketing at Symmetricom. "As the industry migrates to IEEE 1588 PTP for synchronization in IP-based packet networks, TimeAnalyzer test tools are essential to minimizing risk by fully testing the network before deployment."
