News summary:
- Rising precision demands and GPS/GNSS vulnerabilities are
driving the urgent need for secure, reliable synchronization
- Adtran’s new OSA 3300 Super HP and OSA 3350 Super ePRC+ meet
the need for enhanced accuracy, stability and robust timing
protection
- Technology ensures 100-nanosecond precision for 100 days,
assuring PNT for critical infrastructure and defense
operations
Adtran today launched two new optical cesium atomic clocks that
set new standards in network time synchronization: the OSA 3300
Super High-Performance (OSA 3300 SHP) and the OSA 3350 Super
Enhanced Primary Reference Clock+ (OSA 3350 SePRC+). As part of
Adtran’s Oscilloquartz portfolio of industry-first optical cesium
clocks, the devices leverage unique, state-of-the-art optical
pumping technology to meet evolving demands across applications
from scientific research to critical PNT infrastructure. The OSA
3300 SHP offers exceptional stability and accuracy, making it a
valuable tool for metrology institutes and scientific research
facilities. In contrast, the OSA 3350 SePRC+ is specifically
designed to enhance holdover capabilities for PNT services. It
maintains 100 days of 100-nanosecond precision, providing
continuous and accurate timing even in environments where GPS/GNSS
is unavailable. This makes it a crucial component for ensuring the
integrity of mission-critical networks and supporting vital
infrastructure and defense operations with reliable backup
timing.

“Our two new optical cesium clocks represent a major
breakthrough, offering substantial benefits to a wide variety of
industries. Take the OSA 3350 SePRC+, for instance – it ensures
100-nanosecond accuracy over a span of more than three months. This
level of precision and stability is critical for infrastructures
relying on continuous PNT services, providing our customers with
supreme reliability and robust protection against escalating cyber
threats to GPS/GNSS,” said Gil Biran, GM of Oscilloquartz, Adtran.
“In an era marked by rising global tensions and heightened risks of
state-sponsored interference in satellite communications, our
latest innovation has arrived at a pivotal moment. It will greatly
enhance our capacity to address the demand for secure and reliable
network timing around the world. Building on our 75-year legacy and
unmatched expertise, the OSA 3350 SePRC+ exemplifies our commitment
to excellence in assured PNT technology. As pioneers in the field,
we continue to set new benchmarks, consistently improving standards
to meet the dynamic needs of our customers and the broader
market.”
The OSA 3300 SHP and OSA 3350 SePRC+ redefine the capabilities
of PRCs and ePRCs, unlocking new possibilities in their respective
domains. The OSA 3300 SHP, with its superior Allan Deviation (ADEV)
performance – twice as accurate as the 3300 HP with the same
10-year lifespan – ensures exceptional stability and accuracy,
making it an ideal choice for metrology institutes and scientific
research facilities. Its advanced feature set enables these
institutions to achieve new levels of precision in their
timekeeping and calibration processes, directly driving
advancements in scientific research and industrial applications.
Meanwhile, the OSA 3350 SePRC+ is specifically designed to enhance
holdover capabilities for PNT services. This high-end optical
cesium clock, together with our Super ePRTC+ combiner can maintain
100 days of 100-nanosecond precision, far exceeding previous
industry records, and ensuring continuous and accurate timing even
in environments where GPS/GNSS are unavailable.
“Our OSA 3300 SHP provides unprecedented accuracy in
timekeeping, maintaining nanosecond precision over extended
periods. This level of enhanced accuracy and stability is crucial
for scientific research and metrology, supporting high-precision
experiments and the calibration of instruments to the highest
standards. The 3300 SHP allows researchers to conduct
groundbreaking experiments in fields like quantum mechanics and
relativity, where extreme accuracy is paramount,” commented Patrick
Berthoud, time and frequency chief scientist at Oscilloquartz,
Adtran. “At Oscilloquartz, we’re dedicated to advancing time and
frequency technology, leveraging our world-renowned Swiss expertise
in this field. Our latest innovations demonstrate our commitment to
delivering superior solutions that meet the evolving demands of our
customers, driving progress in both scientific research and
industrial applications.”
