TLDR:

Key Points:

• Vodafone Turkey integrates Adtran’s optical cesium atomic clock technology for network resilience.
• The deployment aims to enhance network synchronization and mitigate risks associated with GNSS disruptions.

Vodafone Turkey has adopted Adtran’s Oscilloquartz optical cesium atomic clock technology to improve the resilience of its national network against disruptions in GNSS signals. This integration is crucial as the company prepares for the implementation of 5G services. The deployment, managed with logistics support from Artıtel, establishes a network-wide synchronization solution that ensures precise timing even during GNSS outages. This technology is essential for maintaining continuous and reliable connectivity across Vodafone Turkey’s services.

The core of the solution, the Oscilloquartz OSA 3350 ePRC+™, utilizes optical pumping technology for frequency stability. Along with Vodafone Turkey’s grandmaster clocks and the Oscilloquartz clock combiner, the system aims to achieve a high level of accuracy and surpass industry standards for network timing. By adopting this solution, Vodafone Turkey aims to minimize the risks associated with GNSS signal loss and improve network stability under challenging conditions.

The deployment across five strategic sites enhances redundancy and ensures network stability, reflecting Vodafone Turkey’s commitment to high service standards amidst growing challenges to GNSS reliability. The adoption of Adtran’s technology represents a significant advancement in network infrastructure resilience, positioning Vodafone Turkey to deliver uninterrupted services to its customers.

Overall, the integration of Adtran’s advanced timing technology marks a significant step forward for Vodafone Turkey in ensuring network resilience and combating disruptions caused by GNSS signal loss.
