SHENZHEN, China -- Huawei, a leader in providing next-generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, and China Telecom, today jointly announced the successful lab testing of its end-to-end (E2E) 1588v2 clock solution, using Huawei’s OTN (Optical Transport Network) and MSTP (Multi-service Transmission Platform) transport products. Being organized by China Telecom Beijing Research Institute, the test demonstrated the high performance and reliability of Huawei's 1588v2 clock solution, which exceeds the current performance standard required for commercial use. It also provides an important reference for China Telecom to deploy 1588v2 over the live network.

The 1588v2 clock solution provides accurate clock signals of the same frequency and phase for base stations and it meets the strict clock requirements of 3G and LTE, while keeping mobile phone signals unaffected during switching between base stations.

“The completion of this E2E 1588v2 clock solution test is an important step towards the mass-market deployment of 1588v2,” said Christian Chua, president of Transport Product Line, Huawei. “Wireless services with high clock requirements are expanding to wide areas and the LTE era is coming. To meet the demand, Huawei will gradually put 1588v2 into commercial use, as it has already been embedded into our transport products.”
