| Sync 101 | The Need for Synchronization |
Sync 101 gives the student an appreciation of why the modern digital telecom network is operated as a synchronized network,
and an understanding of what is meant by the term "synchronous network". This is achieved by reviewing some basic mechanisms
of digital transmission and routing/switching and examining their behavior in asynchronous and synchronous environments.
|
| Sync 102 | Fundamental Elements of Synchronization Distribution |
In this course, we present the fundamental physical and philosophical building blocks required for effective synchronization distribution.
The building blocks detailed may be considered a "tool box" for the network designer to draw upon when the planning of the
synchronization distribution network is tackled.
|
| Sync 103 | Architectural View of Synchronization Distribution |
In Sync 103 we address the larger picture to take a top-down approach to defining suitable strategies for ensuring that all points of
a synchronous network are supplied with reliable traceability to PRS/PRC frequency accuracy. This approach leads to treating the
timing paths that are chosen for synchronization distribution as an "overlay" network of designated traffic facilities.
When viewed as an overlay network, synchronization distribution is seen to be very different architecturally from a service-based or
transport network.
|
| Sync 104 | Introduction to Effective Synchronization Planning |
In this course we introduce the important function of planning the synchronization distribution network. In this context,
"planning" means the higher levels of top-down design for a timing distribution network, rather than the detailed design of
connectivity between and within sites.
