In response to the official notice of decommissioning of LORAN-C by the US Coast Guard beginning on February 8, 2010, CXR Larus today announced a new product which allows current LORAN-C users to maintain network timing and synchronization seamlessly with proven GPS technology.
The StarSync 6800-U-TReK (Universal Timing Restoration Kit) provides a low cost method for rapid restoration of network synchronization systems by providing a Stratum 1 GPS reference with precise Stratum 3E holdover driving T1, E1 (with SSM), 10/5/1 MHz or 1PPS links for legacy network timing equipment. In other words, the StarSync 6800-U-TReK can provide the required signals to restore synchronization to any clock which has external timing reference capability, including legacy LORAN-C or BITS clocking systems, regardless of brand name or manufacture date.
In addition to the restoration of lost LORAN-C signals, the StarSync 6800-U-TReK is also useful for everyday troubleshooting of network timing troubles by providing a separate GPS Stratum 1 source with which to compare the legacy BITS outputs, and can be ready for use within minutes of arrival at the job site. The StarSync 6800-U-TReK also allows carriers with no in-house GPS clock to "test the waters" by connecting a local GPS based clock to their networks.
The StarSync 6800-U-TReK is comprised of a very small-footprint GPS clock, antenna, mount and cable, AC/DC power supply and handy carry case. Highly lightweight and portable, the 6800-U-TReK provides two T1 or E1 (w/SSM), one 10/5/1MHz outputs, and one 1PPS output, SNMP management, serial management port and front-panel indicator LEDs.
The StarSync 6800-U-TReK is currently available for ordering, with a lead time of approximately 2-4 weeks. For more information and pricing contact CXR Larus Sales at 1-408-573-2700, or visit our website, www.cxrlarus.com.
