Datum Announces Industry's First Low-Cost, Stand-Alone Cesium Clock for Carrier Network Synchronization.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 2, 2001 Company Delivers Smallest, Autonomous, Maintenance-Free Clock at Unprecedented Price Datum The singular form of data; for example, one datum. It is rarely used, and data, its plural form, is commonly used for both singular and plural. Inc., (Nasdaq:DATM DATM Dummy Air Training Missile DATM DISA ATM Network DATM Data Mode (Naval data analysis) DATM Drums Along the Mohawk (Rome, NY Drum Corp International Competition) DATM Derby Area Transport Model ) the leading global supplier of embedded and external carrier-class synchronization (1) See synchronous and synchronous transmission. (2) Ensuring that two sets of data are always the same. See data synchronization. (3) Keeping time-of-day clocks in two devices set to the same time. See NTP. solutions, today announced the compact, affordable Cesium cesium (sē`zēəm) [Lat.,=bluish gray], a metallic chemical element; symbol Cs; at. no. 55; at. wt. 132.9054; m.p. 28.4°C;; b.p. 669.3°C;; sp. gr. 1.873 at 20°C;; valence +1. PRS-45, a true autonomous Stratum 1 primary reference source, at the annual NIST (National Institute of Standards & Technology, Washington, DC, www.nist.gov) The standards-defining agency of the U.S. government, formerly the National Bureau of Standards. It is one of three agencies that fall under the Technology Administration (www.technology. Sync Workshop conference in Boulder, Colo. "In order to provide Stratum 1 synchronization for their networks, carriers have had to plan and install highly-visible GPS antennas and end-to-end cabling to synchronize their networks," said Datum Austin President Jack Rice. "Not only are rooftop sites hard to find, the antennas are time-consuming to install and vulnerable to environmental conditions. Unlike GPS solutions, the PRS-45 is an autonomous clock that does not require installation of a rooftop or wall-mounted antenna or the related grounding and cable installation. The product's plug-and-play architecture allows carriers faster deployment and maintenance-free operation." Legacy sites are typically equipped with GPS clocks, but convergent network upgrades are calling for redundant clocks. At new sites, for about the cost and installation of GPS solutions, Cesium presents a compelling alternative. "There are tens of thousands of network offices which are currently unsynchronized," said Datum Chief Executive Officer Erik van der Kaay. "Over the next few years, each of these is a potential application for the PRS-45 Cesium primary reference clock." "By implementing the PRS-45 in our networks, we're getting plug-and-play stand-alone Stratum 1 clocks at approximately 30% the price of Datum's closest competitors," said Jim Fonte, director of UTX UTX United Technologies Corporation (stock abbreviation, AMEX) UTX Unreal Texture (a texture pack for Unreal-engine games) UTX Unit Training Exercise UTX Under Track Crossing Facilities Engineering The term "facilities engineering" evolved from "plant engineering" in the early 1990s as U.S. workplaces became more complex. Practitioners preferred this term because it more accurately reflected the multidisciplinary demands for specialized conditions in a wider variety of indoor Universal Access. "Universal Access chose the PRS-45/TSG-3800 combination because it will ultimately save the company money by eliminating recurring costs, as well as minimizing maintenance and operating costs operating costs npl → gastos mpl operacionales ." Today's network-carried timing signals are becoming less reliable sources and more difficult to manage due to increased traffic and network convergence. The PRS-45 provides network-independent Stratum 1 timing signals, reducing network-wide management issues, thereby ensuring data network integrity while delivering premium quality of service. The PRS-45 is the commercially available culmination of Datum's 30-plus years of experience in space-qualified Cesium technology. This technology is currently used in GPS satellites for the dissemination of navigation and synchronization signals. PRS-45 is part of Datum's NetSyncPLUS family of products, which are designed to be easily integrated into existing network infrastructures and managed as part of a total network package. PRS-45's new compact size also eases integration. Every NetSyncPLUS product comes with the availability of NetSynCare(sm) Professional Services (job) professional services - A department of a supplier providing consultancy and programming manpower for the supplier's products. . This turnkey solution further saves network engineers time and money by providing the design, installation, management and auditing tasks, that usually require the services of a separate synchronization engineer.
