• Industries such as metrology, aerospace and defense need ultra-stable timing for accurate data collection and reliable communication;
• Adtran’s Oscilloquartz optical cesium clock now features the ESTU precision timing module for enhanced short-term frequency stability;
• Upgrade improves short-term Allan Deviation, ensuring greater timing accuracy and performance for mission-critical operations
Designed to meet the demands of industries requiring ultra-stable short-term timing, the module achieves performance levels comparable to the passive hydrogen maser, which is no longer available in the Western market. The ESTU module significantly improves short-term frequency stability, measured through Allan Deviation, providing the synchronization accuracy and reliability essential for sectors including metrology, space exploration and defense. It enables more stable data collection, satellite communication and measurement operations, reinforcing the OSA 3300 Series as the ideal choice for mission-critical applications.
“With our precision timing module, we’re setting new benchmarks in short-term frequency stability, addressing the critical demands of sectors ranging from scientific research labs to aerospace companies,” said Gil Biran, GM of Oscilloquartz, Adtran. “This advanced ESTU module enhances our industry-first high-performance optical cesium atomic clocks, delivering substantial benefits, including reduced Allan Deviation. These improvements are essential for ensuring the stability and accuracy of timing network infrastructure. Our solutions are the first in the market to combine the short-term stability of a passive hydrogen maser with the long-term stability of a high-performance cesium clock. This innovation underscores our commitment to providing advanced technology tailored to mission-critical applications.”
