Enhanced Timing in Harsh Conditions
Oscilloquartz has introduced the ruggedSync OSA 5510, a new timing and synchronization platform designed for defence operations in harsh environments. The announcement was made on 1st June from Neuchâtel, Switzerland.
Engineered to maintain synchronization in contested and GNSS-denied environments, the OSA 5510 is crucial for defence communications and navigation. It combines PTP grandmaster and NTP server functionalities with extended holdover capabilities.
Gil Biran, GM of Oscilloquartz, highlighted the platform’s resilience, stating, “Our new ruggedSync™ Series OSA 5510 extends the Oscilloquartz assured PNT portfolio into tactical and deployable defence environments.”
The device supports IEEE 1588v2 PTP, SyncE, and secure NTP services. Compliance with MIL-STD-810H and MIL-STD-461G makes it suitable for diverse defence applications, including mobile command centers and aviation systems.
Features like STANAG, Have Quick, and IRIG interfaces cater to various defence requirements. The OSA 5510 strengthens multi-source resilience with support for M-Code, Galileo PRS, and Iridium STL.
With jamming and spoofing detection, the OSA 5510 ensures continuity during GNSS disruptions. Extended holdover and low phase-noise outputs further enhance its operational reliability.
Igal Pinhasov, VP of product line management at Oscilloquartz, noted, “Our OSA 5510 builds on the same core timing and synchronization technologies deployed across the broader Oscilloquartz portfolio.”
Oscilloquartz continues to expand its partnerships across aerospace, defence, and government sectors globally, reinforcing its position in providing resilient timing solutions.
The ruggedSync™ Series OSA 5510 includes optical and copper SFP/SFP+ 1G/10G interfaces and dual power feeds, supporting deployment across modern high-bandwidth defence networks. the device integrates advanced synchronization technologies and flexible mission-critical interfaces, ensuring it meets the demanding needs of defence operations.
With a zero-trust architecture, the OSA 5510 fortifies operational continuity for defence communications, navigation, and mission-critical infrastructure. It represents a significant advancement in maintaining trusted synchronization in challenging environments.
Multi-band GNSS support and encrypted, authenticated timing options enable the OSA 5510 to function effectively even in environments where GNSS signals are compromised. As a result, this platform is pivotal for ensuring uninterrupted defence operations.
