OSAinside™ embedded PTP grandmasters

Precision timing built for today’s open networks

As industries adopt open, software-defined architectures, achieving ultra-precise, resilient synchronization is crucial. From enabling seamless 5G rollouts and O-RAN deployments to supporting mission-critical financial systems, power utilities and data centers, modern networks depend on accurate timing to maintain performance and meet stringent regulatory standards. The shift toward open servers and virtualized environments has created a new need for cost-effective synchronization solutions that seamlessly integrate into existing infrastructure.


Flexible solutions for embedded synchronization

OSAinside™ embedded PTP grandmasters redefine what’s possible for compact and reliable timing. Our solutions embed advanced synchronization capabilities directly into server environments and networking devices, making them ideal for applications that demand precise phase and frequency alignment. By leveraging multi-band GNSS receivers, advanced algorithms and Syncjack™ monitoring technology, they ensure reliable performance even in challenging scenarios, such as GNSS outages or areas prone to jamming and spoofing. With their low power requirements, open control interfaces, and compatibility with O-RAN architectures, OSAinside™ solutions simplify deployment while reducing costs and complexity.



Introducing the OSA 5400 TimeCard™ and SyncModule™

The OSAinside™ portfolio includes the OSA 5400 TimeCard™ and SyncModule™, each designed to bring exceptional precision timing to modern networks. The TimeCard™ is a PCIe-based solution that transforms standard servers into high-performance PTP grandmasters with GNSS receivers and boundary clock functionality. The SyncModule™, on the other hand, offers the same robust capabilities in a compact M.2 form, enabling seamless integration into routers, switches, and other networking devices. Together, these technologies empower operators and vendors to meet the demands of next-generation applications, including 5G O-RAN and globally dispersed data centers, while setting new benchmarks for precision, scalability and cost-effectiveness.
