SYNCRO – Fiber-enhanced GNSS connectivity

The SYNCRO portfolio is the world’s first fully copper-free time distribution link and offers three different applications for data center and telecommunications customers looking for scalable timing infrastructure solutions. One portfolio for all use cases – from simple deployments to mission-critical systems – with a focus on flexibility, scalability, reliability and precise synchronisation as the foundation of modern AI and real-time networks. The SYNCRO product family includes the SYNCRO Max, SYNCRO Eco and SYNCRO Mini systems, which have been specifically developed to meet application requirements and to integrate into existing infrastructures. Emphasis has been placed on cost efficiency, scalability and reliability. The solution enables secure, flexible and precise time distribution – without the complexity of coaxial cabling.
SYNCRO Eco for redundant and monitorable applications Focus on scalability and total cost of ownership (TCO) Integrated monitoring Redundancy options Ideal for smaller data centers and various telecommunications infrastructures
SYNCRO Max for critical infrastructure Maximum availability through redundancy Integrated power supply (Power-over-Fiber) Maximum reliability including monitoring and redundancy Highest performance and security Optimized and simplified installation Ideal for hyperscalers, energy supply and financial systems
SYNCRO Mini for single-antenna installations For single applications and non-critical infrastructures Cost-efficient and easy to install Plug-and-play design Basic functions such as signal distribution or passive monitoring Ideal for smaller installations (campus, universities, banks, companies)

Benefits from the latest Power-over-Fiber generation

Power-over-Fiber (PoF) enables the transmission of energy to power the antenna via the fiber connection and eliminates the need for a separate power supply. Power is supplied directly via the fiber, which significantly reduces installation effort. Full electrical isolation avoids risks such as overvoltage, ground loops or electromagnetic interference. Using fiber-based power supply, distances of several kilometers between the RF source and the receiving system can be bridged and antennas can be positioned spatially separated to ensure additional security and redundancy.

Where precise time synchronisation is indispensable?

Telecommunications /

mobile communications

Accurate time is necessary to synchronise base stations (e.g. in 5G networks) and thus ensure low latency and stable network performance.

Data centers & cloud

infrastructures

Synchronized time enables consistent data processing, stable clusters and secure transactions in distributed IT systems.

Banking & finance

Precise timestamps are crucial for stock trading, transactions and regulatory requirements such as MiFID II.

Broadcasting & media

Time-accurate synchronisation ensures correct alignment of audio, video and IP-based broadcast systems.

Transport & traffic

systems

Applications such as air traffic management, navigation or autonomous systems require precise time for and coordinated processes.

Industry 4.0 &

automation

Synchronisation is essential so that machines, sensors and control systems can coordinate in real time.

Security & defense

sector

Military communication, surveillance systems and critical infrastructures require precise time for reliable and secure operations.

Energy & smart grids

Accurate time enables the synchronisation of power grids and applications such as phasor measurement units for grid monitoring.
