Meinberg - Model IMS-LANTIME M4000 -Modular Synchronization System
The IMS-LANTIME M4000 is crafted to meet the synchronization demands of modern telecommunications networks, specifically 4G, 5G, and LTE. This system functions as a Primary Reference Time Clock and showcases remarkable adaptability, making it suitable for various deployment scenarios across mobile backhaul networks, including core, metro, and access areas. Utilizing the Intelligent Reference Switching Algorithm (IRSA), this 4U rackmount device accepts multiple input sources such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, PTP, NTP, SyncE, and 1PPS. It provides both frequency and phase synchronization adhering to ITU-T G.8265.1 and G.8275.1 standards. Furthermore, its design supports up to 40 pulse and frequency outputs, ensuring compatibility with telecom equipment and measurement devices. The M4000's modular structure includes field-replacement and hot-swap capabilities, enabling scalability and future-proofing for evolving network requirements.The Meinberg LANTIME M4000 has been designed to fulfill the synchronization requirements of modern 4G/5G/LTE networks. It is capable to act as a Primary Reference Time Clock (PRTC) and, because of its unmatched flexibility, can be deployed in different scenarios. The modularity of the IMS platform (Intelligent Modular System) allows the M4000 to be configured for all areas of a mobile backhaul network: in the core, metro or access network areas.
