BesTime adaptively ensembles commonly available frequency sources including T1 or E1 signals, GPS signals, remote oscillator signals, and a local oscillator to provide unparalleled time and frequency output performance.
Local oscillators provide the most stable reference during short periods of time.
However, without long term stable reference, the oscillator by itself will drift over time. The higher quality the oscillator the less the drift, but this improved performance comes with an associated cost. Typically, the local oscillator is the single largest cost component of GPS PRS systems. BesTime provides improved performance with lower quality quartz local oscillators, thereby reducing the cost disadvantage. Jitter and wander are naturally occurring phenomena in all telecom networks which tend to impair synchronization signals, and therefore, need to be minimized in order to ensure the quality of the network.
