SAN JOSE, Calif., April 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Symmetricom®, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYMM), a worldwide leader in precision time and frequency technologies, today announced the company will sell GPS Disciplined Oscillator (GPSDO) Modules and High-Frequency Source Modules from Jackson Labs Technologies, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of cutting-edge precision time and frequency products.  GPSDOs provide time and frequency reference signals that have the same long-term accuracy as the GPS signal itself, and also provide a "holdover" capability to maintain system synchronization when GPS reception outages occur.  This new set of solutions provides Symmetricom's customers with a broader range of product options, supporting a variety of price and performance levels.

"The new GPSDO Modules and High-Frequency Source Modules are a natural extension of our existing product line and enable us to better meet our customers' needs.  Symmetricom customers can now select full instruments containing GPSDOs or board-level GPSDOs if they don't need full instrument functionality," said Steve Fossi, director of new business development at Symmetricom.  "For systems that require an embedded GPSDO, incorporating a proven board-level GPSDO reduces design cycle time and risk compared to developing a custom solution."

Symmetricom has the following GPSDO and Source Modules available for purchase:  

  • GPS-1000 Std. Temp. 10 MHz OCXO-based GPSDO
  • GPS-2000 Std. Temp. 10 MHz OCXO-based GPSDO
  • GPS-2500 Std. Temp. 10 MHz DOCXO-based GPSDO
  • GPS-2550 Ext. Temp. 10 MHz DOCXO-based GPSDO
  • GPS-2600 Std. Temp. 100 MHz DOCXO-based GPSDO
  • GPS-2650 Ext. Temp. 100 MHz DOCXO-based GPSDO
  • SSM-2000 Std. Temp. 100 MHz OCXO-Source Module
  • SSM-2650 Ext. Temp. 100 MHz DOCXO-Source Module
  • GPS-2700 Std. Temp. 10 MHz CSAC-based GPSDO
  • GPS-2750 Ext. Temp. 10 MHz CSAC-based GPSDO
  • GPS-500 Low-Cost Ext. Temp. 10 MHz OCXO-based GPSDO

Today's announcement is an extension of an existing relationship with Jackson Labs and comes one year after Jackson Labs selected Symmetricom's Quantum™ SA.45s Chip Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC) as the holdover oscillator for the high-performance GPS-2700 and GPS-2750 GPSDOs.  Symmetricom's GPS-27xx GPSDOs provide a revolutionary capability for mission-critical applications in GPS-denied environments.  Because the Quantum SA.45s CSAC provides the stability of an atomic clock with breakthrough reductions in size, weight, and power consumption, the GPS-27xx GPSDOs offer unique benefits in portable applications such as dismounted IED jammers, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and man-pack radios.
