Symmetricom to Showcase Smart Grid Synchronization Solutions at DistribuTECH 2012


Nanosecond Time Stamp Accuracy & Precision to Meet the Demands of the World's Power Grids

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Symmetricom®, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYMM), a worldwide leader in precision time and frequency technologies, today announced the company will be exhibiting at the DistribuTECH Conference & Exhibition taking place at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, San Antonio, TX on January 24-26, 2012.

Symmetricom is an industry leader providing highly precise timekeeping technologies, instruments and solutions for a range of applications including the power industry. As utilities strive to deliver more from their existing infrastructure, there has been a significant evolution of the control and protection functions. Those advances depend on measurements that are more precisely synchronized. New applications such as wide-area measurement systems now require microsecond accuracy. Precise time in the smart grid has come of age and plays a key role in time-sensitive control and protection applications. The IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a new toolbox item that supports the evolving need for accurate and reliable timing throughout the grid.

Symmetricom will be showcasing its comprehensive portfolio of IEEE 1588 timing solutions to industry leading utility experts in booth #1420, including its XLi IEEE 1588 Grandmaster, XL-GPS, SyncServer® S350, TimeProvider® 5000 and ND-4 Network Time Display. Visit Symmetricom at the event to learn more about the comprehensive line of time synchronization solutions available for the power industry.
