Symmetricom Announces XPRO High Performance Rubidium Oscillator
Next Generation Rubidium Oscillator Delivers Improved Timing
Specifications for Test and Measurement, Aerospace and Defense
Applications
SAN JOSE, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) December 1, 2008 --
Symmetricom, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYMM), a worldwide leader in precise time and
frequency technologies that accelerate the deployment and enable the
management of next generation networks, today announced the XPRO, its
next generation, high performance rubidium
oscillator designed for a wide range of applications in test and
measurement, aerospace and defense markets. With its low profile and
standard connector interface, the XPRO is designed for integration into
a wide range of time and frequency systems.
“The XPRO leverages over 35 years of proven rubidium atomic physics
technology combined with advanced digital electronics architecture to
provide an exceptionally stable oscillator that meets the most demanding
performance requirements,” commented Doug Lowrie, product marketing
manager at Symmetricom. “Offering best in class short term frequency
stability and low frequency aging, the XPRO operates for extended
periods without calibration, which translates to lower cost of
ownership.”
The XPRO is a drop-in replacement for Symmetricom’s successful Low
Profile Rubidium Oscillator (LPRO), which has been widely used in a
variety of applications in the test and measurement, aerospace and
defense markets where an embedded high performance oscillator is
required. Ideal for applications where GPS is not used or not always
available, the XPRO’s design enables autonomous systems to maintain
timing specifications that are not achievable using lower stability
oscillators.
The key benefits of the XPRO include:
-
Optional <1E-11 per month aging – maintains 1E-9 frequency accuracy
for 10 years or longer without recalibration
-
Digital monitoring and control – all monitoring and control done via
RS-232 interface allowing easy access to comprehensive status and
control parameters
-
Standard outputs – 10MHz and 1PPS
-
RoHs 5/6 compliant
The XPRO will be demonstrated at The 40th Annual Precise Time
and Time Interval (PTTI 2008) Systems and Applications Meeting, December
1–4, 2008, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Reston, Virginia. For more

Availability
The XPRO Rubidium Oscillator will be available in January 2009.
