  • Choose the right synchronisation features for your next product development
  • Implement your own sync test environment to improve product cost and quality

Standards

Standards

These are the main Standards which relate to synchronisation over communication networks. The continued evolution to higher bandwidth, lower latency and highly reliable technology has meant that new Standards must evolve. ITU Study Group 15/Q13 is working on a number of new Standards to support network service & application synchronisation over all access & core technologies. The ITU also co-ordinates liaison with other standards bodies where necessary such as the IEEE, IETF, 3GPP, SMPTE, MEF/BBF & ORAN. If you have any questions about any of these standards, please give us a call; we are monitoring developments very closely and maintain contact with key editors and working groups.

ITU-T Standards & Recommendations

Chronos is an associate member of the ITU-T Study Group 15, Question 13 - Network Synchronisation & Time Distribution Performance.
