The technology has been developed by Türk Telekom engineers alongside Net Insight and according to the duo can significantly reduce synchronisation investment costs and increase service continuity in 5G.
Engineers reported that the time deviation value for 5G is 1500 nanoseconds and was measured 5-45 nanoseconds in two different regions of Türkiye, according to the first data obtained from Türk Telekom’s live network. These values revealed that sensitive time and synchronisation information can be carried throughout the country with minimum deviation regardless of network equipment.
Türk Telekom chief technology officer Yusuf Kıraç said: “We became the first operator to implement the next generation synchronisation solution, developed together with Net Insight leveraging patents of Turkish engineers, which is critical for 5G and beyond technologies, on the live network. We see significant potential in the global market for this innovative solution that will reduce costs and increase service continuity for mobile operators and all industries with critical time synchronisation requirements.
“We can meet all these needs with this solution, which has a time deviation far below 1500 nano-second required for the synchronisation need of 5G. We are proud to develop new satellite independent solutions for operators and standardisation organisations in the world. Within the scope of this project, we attach importance to the presence of Turkish engineers in the development team and aim to seize the opportunity for domestic production by expanding the scope of cooperation.”
