StarClockTM TiemPo 6400 and StarClockTM 200E

CXR Larus recognized very early that Digital network connectivity is dependent upon the availability of a reliable synchronization source to provide a timing reference to the network elements and are now a recognized leader in the manufacture of sophisticated network timing and synchronization products, including meeting the requirements of the Next Generation Networks (NGN). The products provide a complete range of the timing and synchronization products required to facilitate the efficient transmission of Digital signals. CXR Larus timing products are deployed by Regional Bell Operating companies, Independent Telephone Companies, Competitive Local Exchange Carriers, government, utility companies,private communication networks, OEM manufacturers both domestically and internationally.

CXR Larus synchronization and timing products provide an optimal and consistent source of timing alignment (synchronization) for digital networks. When the principal network timing source is lost, a CXR Larus timing system can provide an alternative source of reference synchronization until the principal source can be restored. This is called operating in the "holdover" state. The various levels of accuracy in holdover mode are referred to as "stratum levels." Stratum 1 is the most precise, followed by Stratum 2, Stratum 2E ("Enhanced" Stratum 2), Stratum 3E, Stratum 3, and finally Stratum 4. All CXR Larus Timing products offer Stratum 3E holdover stability or better, and all are available with options that meet or exceed Stratum 1 standards.

A CXR Larus timing system is also known as a Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) or simply as a BITS clock. Whether the application is a small remote office, or the largest RBOC Central Office, CXR Larus has the perfect timing solution for your needs. CXR Larus is also a leading provider of Next Generation NTP/PTP Primary Reference Sources with the innovative line of StarSyncTM products.
