CAMPBELL, Calif. -- Brilliant Telecommunications, Inc., a leading supplier of end-to-end packet-based network synchronization and monitoring products and solutions, announced a joint development program with National Semiconductor to deliver the industry's best performing IEEE 1588-2008 solution. This program combines cutting-edge technologies from both companies-the DP83640 Precision PHYTER from National and Brilliant's IEEE 1588v2 software stack and algorithms for synchronization of packet-based networks and equipment. Together, Brilliant and National's joint solution offers system designers unprecedented performance and cost benefits. The combined solution is ideal for applications such as IP Backhaul, cell site routers, 3G and 4G basestations, femtocells, picocells, smart grid, digital video broadcast, home networking and industrial Ethernet.

National's DP83640 Precision PHYTER device delivers the highest level of deterministic timestamping accuracy with a resolution of eight (8) nanoseconds. Equipped with a 96-bit internal counter, the PHYTER timestamps IEEE 1588 packets with sub-nanosecond precision and generates multiple clock outputs with very low jitter.

Brilliant pioneered the first ever commercial deployment of IEEE 1588 in a mobile operator's network in 2008 and is the leading supplier of IEEE 1588 products today. Its synchronization algorithm has been validated and deployed operationally by many operators to provide unmatched frequency and phase accuracy-a key requirement for some of the most demanding applications in telecom, video broadcast and electric power networks.
