IMS Rackmount Systems: A Time and Frequency Synchronization Platform in a 19-Inch Rackmount Chassis

The Meinberg LANTIME M4000 has been designed to fulfill the synchronization requirements of modern 4G/5G/LTE networks. It is capable to act as a Primary Reference Time Clock (PRTC) and, because of its unmatched flexibility, can be deployed in different scenarios. The modularity of the IMS platform (Intelligent Modular System) allows the M4000 to be configured for all areas of a mobile backhaul network: in the core, metro or access network areas.

Versatile and Modular Time and Frequency Synchronization Platform

The LANTIME M3000 is a field-upgradeable and extremely flexible system, designed to handle synchronization needs today and in the future. The M3000 chassis has slots for four power supplies, two clock modules, a seamless switchover card, a CPU and ten additional input and output modules. With the addition of a second clock module and the required RSC switch module, the M3000 becomes a fully redundant solution for mission critical applications.

Up to four power supplies can be installed, increasing reliability and offering protection against the failure of one or more power sources. Both wide range AC and an 20-60 V DC power supply model can be mixed and matched as required by the user, depending upon power supply options available at the installation site.

The M3000 is flexible and scalable, accepting a range of input and output modules as well as specialized communication cards for NTP and PTP/IEEE1588 network synchronization and remote management. This adaptable, high performance platform is ideal for long-term deployment, with scalable expansion options that can readily cope with the evolving demands of critical applications.

Versatile and Modular Solution for Time and Frequency Synchronization Applications in a Compact 3RU Chassis

The new LANTIME M3000S is a field-upgradeable and extremely flexible system that covers your synchronization needs - today and in the future. Upgrading to more outputs, new connector and signal types and protocols is easier than ever with Meinbergs Intelligent Modular Synchronization platform (IMS).

The IMS LANTIME S models are an alternative for application environments where a display with function keys is not required for onsite configuration. This allows the S housing variants to be installed in racks which are only accessible from one side.

The IMS LANTIME M3000S can be installed in 19 inch racks as well as 21 inch racks (with an adapter). The reduced mounting depth of the S chassis enables you to mount the system in 300mm ETSI racks. As the standard M3000 chassis it comes with four power supply slots, two clock module slots, a seamless switchover card slot, a CPU slot and ten slots for additional input and output modules. Adding a second clock module and the required RSC switch module will turn the M3000S into a fully redundant solution. The up to four power supplies that can be installed offer a high level of protection against the failure of one or more power sources and power supply failures. Both wide range AC and DC power supply models can be mixed and matched as required.

The possibility to add input and output modules as well as specialized communication cards for NTP and PTP/IEEE1588 network synchronization (including Synchronous Ethernet support) and remote management ensures that a LANTIME M3000S will fulfill all your synchronization requirements and the scalability and flexibility of the IMS platform concept enables it to cope with the changing demands of your critical applications.

All modules support hot plugging, allowing to replace faulty modules or add new capabilities to the system with zero downtime for unaffected modules and functions.

Versatile and Modular Solution for Time and Frequency Synchronization Applications in a Compact 2RU Chassis

The new LANTIME M2000S is a field-upgradeable and extremely flexible system that covers your synchronization needs - today and in the future. Upgrading to more outputs, new connector and signal types and protocols is easier than ever with Meinbergs Intelligent Modular Synchronization platform (IMS).

The IMS LANTIME S models are an alternative for application environments where a display with function keys is not required for onsite configuration. This allows the S housing variants to be installed in racks which are only accessible from one side.

The LANTIME M2000S chassis can be installed in 19 inch racks as well as 21 inch racks (with an adapter). The reduced mounting depth of the S chassis enables you to mount the system in 300mm ETSI racks. All connections and control elements are placed on one side, allowing to mount this chassis on a wall or inside a rack that is only accessible from one side. The base M2000S chassis comes with three power supply slots, two clock module slots, a CPU slot and six slots for additional input and output modules. Adding a second clock module will turn the M2000S into a fully redundant solution. Up to three power supplies, that can be installed, offer a high level of protection against the failure of one or more power sources and power supply failures. Both wide range AC and DC power supply models can be mixed and matched as required.

Time and Frequency Synchronization Platform in 1U Rackmount-Enclosure 

The LANTIME M1000 offers high performance time and frequency synchronization in a slim 1U chassis, including slots for two power supplies, two optional clock modules, and a CPU. The flexible M1000 also offers up to four slots for additional input and output modules, or up to three slots in the case of a second reference clock.

With the addition of a second clock module and a second power supply, the M1000 becomes a fully redundant solution for mission critical applications. Both wide range AC and a 20-60 V DC power supply model can be mixed and matched as required by the end-use application, depending upon power supply options available at the installation site.

Versatile and Modular Solution for Time and Frequency Synchronization Applications in 1U housing

The compact 1RU form factor, the hotplugging and hotswapping capabilities and the large selection of different modules for input/output sync signals, network synchronization interfaces and clock modules with different GNSS/radio receiver and oscillator options offer an unmatched reliability, scalability and flexibility. As every Intelligent Modular Synchronization (IMS) system, the M1000S can play almost any role in your synchronization infrastructure: Edge Grandmaster Clock, PRC, PRTC, Secure Sync Gateway, Protocol/Sync Signal Translator and many more.

The 1U chassis has two power supply slots, optional two clock module slots, a CPU slot and four (three in case of a second reference clock) slots for additional input and output modules. Adding a second clock module and a second power supply transforms the IMS - M1000S into a fully redundant solution. Both, wide range AC and a 20-60 V DC power supply model can be mixed and matched as required.

The IMS LANTIME S models are an alternative for application environments where a display with function keys is not required for onsite configuration. This allows the S housing variants to be installed in racks which are only accessible from one side.

PRS10 Rubidium Oscillator
The Meinberg XHE^Rb chassis adds superior holdover performance to the Meinberg IMS time and frequency systems. It contains either one or two PRS10 Rubidium modules from Stanford Research and can be eqipped with dual power supplies for each Rubidium module.

Meinberg MDU (Multi-Distribution Units) are the simplest and most convenient way to add more buffered timing signal outputs to your distribution rack. MDU systems enable multiplication of input signals coming from an external system such as a LANTIME or a GPS clock with, for example, PPS and 10MHz outputs to be expanded to a large number of output signals of the same type. The 3U / 19-inch MDU basic chassis can compose of a redundant power supply and can be equipped with one or two input modules to allow redundancy of the input signals.
