1588 Grandmaster on an SFP with Built-in GNSS
• Fully-featured Primary Reference Time Clock (PRTC) and IEEE 1588-2008 (PTP)
Grandmaster
• Built-in GNSS receiver
• Miniature pluggable device fits in any standard SFP port
• Ideal for 4G small cell deployments
• Cost-effective upgrade solution for legacy 2G/3G networks

MiCLK supports both Layer-2 and Layer-3 network section. MiCLK can be widely placed close to the
PTP distribution in unicast and multicast base stations in order to reduce packet
modes. Alternatively, two MiCLK units can be
plugged into the same router/switch delay variation and asymmetry.

information on GNSS time and frequency recovers the frequency from the central
information to the network, by supplying GM to maintain its accurate time.
