Zarlink develops timing-over-packet technology
This sounds pretty cool--something to keep my eye on, methinks.
Zarlink Semiconductor today announced that it has developed an innovative Timing-over-Packet (ToP) technology that allows carriers to support time-critical voice, video and data services over packet networks.
Carriers rolling out packet-based equipment face a major stumbling block because many services – including video, online gaming and cellular phone services – have critical time dependencies that cannot be met by “best-effort” packet infrastructures. As a result, carriers must rely on expensive solutions such as GPS (global positioning system) receivers and circuit-based T1/E1 connections to ensure accurate synchronization of services across packet networks.
