EXFO FTB-1 Pro Timing and synchronization - 1588 PTP, SyncE and RF absolute time error test solution
The Timing & Synchronization test solution from EXFO is designed to validate the accuracy of 5G network time alignment – including precision over fiber or over-the-air measurements. It supports key synchronization standards like IEEE 1588 PTP, SyncE and RF absolute time error verification, enabling you to assess latency, wander and phase/frequency alignment across network elements.
This solution provides high-accuracy PDV and Time Error measurements for 1588 v2 PTP, SyncE protocol validation, and wander analysis. It incorporates a built-in precision GNSS receiver, delivering accuracy down to ±5 ns and enabling setup times under 20 minutes. Over-the-air testing is supported, with absolute time error measurements available for multiple PCIs without requiring direct network-equipment connections.

Applications
Ideal for verifying synchronization in modern wireless networks, especially 5G deployments relying on tight timing (such as TDD fronthaul/midhaul/backhaul), this solution helps detect configuration errors, equipment faults or interference-driven timing drift. Over-the-air tests enable cell-site validation without needing direct access, making field-work simpler and faster.

Why It Matters
In 5G networks every nanosecond counts. With stricter timing requirements than previous generations, achieving accurate synchronization is critical to maintain performance, avoid interference and ensure reliability. This solution simplifies and accelerates field testing while ensuring your network meets the demands of ultra-low latency and high-capacity operation.
