The Indian mobile industry is expected to continue double-digit growth throughout 2012 with mobile penetration increasing to 72.5 percent within the year according to a report by Gartner, Inc. 3G and 4G networks have increasingly stringent synchronization requirements as backhaul networks transition from TDM to packet based infrastructure. The evolution of this infrastructure has placed an increased importance on timing and synchronization technology, as it plays a pivotal role in the success of communications networks and directly impacts the overall quality of service (QoS) of voice, video and data services. 

Space and defense infrastructure spending is also expected to grow significantly over the next decade according to research published by Deloitte. Symmetricom's hydrogen, cesium and rubidium time standards, quartz oscillators, and the Quantum™ Chip Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC) have supported more military communications, satellite ground stations, metrology laboratories and test and measurement applications than any other precision frequency references in the world.

"Symmetricom has a significant customer base in the Indian sub-continent," said Dave Cote, president and chief executive officer at Symmetricom. "The demand for precise timing and synchronization across multiple market segments in India is expected to grow substantially in the coming years and Symmetricom is well positioned to help its customers in this region benefit from the world's leading solutions in this domain, with local expertise and support."

Symmetricom's synchronization services assist customers with the planning, deployment and maintenance of synchronization infrastructure. Services are designed to help lower costs, streamline processes, ensure quality, and deliver the highest level of performance from a synchronization network.
