Critical Information Now Available to Help Cable Providers Understand the Impact of Reliable Timing and Synchronization on Triple Play Services
SAN JOSE, Calif. - Jan. 16, 2008 - Symmetricom, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYMM), a worldwide leader in precise time and frequency technologies that accelerate the deployment and enable the management of next generation networks, today unveiled a comprehensive set of materials designed to help multi-system operators (MSOs) improve the reliability of their DOCSIS (data over cable service interface specification) network environment. These materials include:
o "Deploying Reliable DOCSIS Synchronization," a detailed guide for cable operators on deploying the DOCSIS Timing Interface (DTI) in their networks
o iPod video presentation
o Streaming Flash presentation
o Audio podcast

Symmetricom has released DOCSIS deployment materials to help cable providers utilize advanced timing and frequency technologies to ensure the consistent, reliable performance of new cable services, including voice, video and data offerings. These new services are placing increased demands on existing infrastructure, requiring state-of-the-art timing and synchronization solutions to maximize performance. Sub optimal synchronization results in packet loss, reduced throughput and poor Quality of Service (QoS), all leading to customer churn. Time and frequency synchronization solutions help maximize ROI from the existing infrastructure, increase network utilization and enable the deployment of more revenue generating applications.
Symmetricom announced the availability of the first DTI-compliant server qualified by Cable Television Laboratories, Inc. (CableLabs®), TimeCreator 1000, in January 2007.
