Paragon-m
Calnex’s Paragon-m is a field tool, designed to test and prove 1588v2 PTP, NTP, Sync-E, E1/T1 and Time of Day (ToD) in the network.
The Paragon-m can test Time of Day (ToD) and Frequency (E1, T1 or any frequency) accuracy to nanoseconds. If there are failures or problems with these tests, Paragon-m can also analyse the 1588v2 PTP, NTP and Sync-E performance to allow the user to troubleshoot and fix these problems.
- Test Time of Day (ToD) accuracy and verify it is below required limits (e.g. +1.5μs for TD-SCDMA or TD-LTE)
- Analyse 1588v2 (PTP) Packet Delay Variation (PDV) is below specified limits (including pktMTIE, MAFE, etc.)
- Measure and validate Sync-E compliance to ITU-T G.8262 (MITE/TDEV)
- Measure E1/T1 recovered clock compliance to ITU-T G.823/G.824 (MITE/TDEV)
- All of the above at the same time
- Replay test files on Paragon to reproduce real network problems back in the lab
Paragon-m: ToD testing, 1588v2 PTP testing, Sync-E testing, NTP testing, E1/T1 testing in the network.
