Agilent Technologies Offers Flexible Purchasing Options for its Primary Frequency Standard
Customers Benefit from Reduced Cost of Ownership and Enhanced Warranty for High-Performance Cesium Beam Tubes
PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec. 16, 2002 -- Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced flexible purchasing options for its 5071A primary frequency standard. The options will allow customers to tailor precision timing systems to their needs and lower their cost of ownership. Users of the high-performance Agilent cesium beam tube also benefit from a new, extended five-year warranty.
The Agilent 5071A primary frequency standard is now available with an optional simplified front panel that includes attention and continuous operation LEDs, and two BNC connectors for the 1PPS and SYNC signals. Laboratory and field application users can cut their costs by purchasing the 5071A primary frequency standard without internal standby batteries.
In addition, the Agilent 5071A now comes complete with the choice of Agilent's high-performance or long-life standard cesium beam tube. The Agilent high-performance cesium beam tube has been redesigned to provide a longer life and has a new five-year warranty.
"Since Agilent pioneered the cesium standard more than 35 years ago, we have been a leading developer of precision timing tools," said Bob Burns, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Precision Motion and Time Group. "As a result of our continuing advances in cesium technology, we can now offer the high-performance cesium beam tube with almost 50 percent longer operating life. Extensive cost reduction programs in manufacturing allow us to offer the same high-quality products at lower prices. We are proud of our tradition of providing high-performance frequency standards to meet the increasing demands of today's discriminating customers."
