The Springwave’s IS2000 series is a grandmaster clock to build the precision time and frequency synchronization based on the IEEE 1588v2-2008 standard. Especially, it is designed for the economic deployment and precision synchronization in the 4G/LTE small cell networks which mobile data service traffic is growing at the present day. Also it supports Synchronous Ethernet clock master synchronized with the GNSS reference in the carrier ethernet networks.

Currently the base stations in the 4G/LTE small cell networks are increasing caused by the tremendous mobile data traffic growth, like smartphone. Furthermore, these base stations are demanded on the precision time/frequency synchronization, and the equipment is increasing coming from their narrow RF coverage. 

The IS2000 series is designed to solve these two issues in the small cell networks. The one is deployment price, and other is synchronization accuracy.

Basically ITU-T G.8265.1 recommends unicast PTP communication for telecom networks. Optionally, it can be operated mixed-mode PTP communication to reduce the network traffic load. This mixed-mode is multicast downstream(Sync, Announce), and unicast(Del_Req, Del_Res) traffic mixed. IS2000 series supports below operation modes.

- Unicast mode
- Multicast mode
- Mixed-mode
