Beijing, June 24, 2013 – Kyland Technology Co., Ltd., a leading industrial Ethernet communication solution provider, today announced its successful participation to Symmetricom’s (NASDAQ: SYMM) SyncWorld Power Ecosystem Program, a new category dedicated for power utilities. As a worldwide leader in precision time and frequency technologies, Symmetricom created the program to enable interoperability, integration and cooperation among the vendors that will deliver on service providers’ advanced networking requirements for precise timing and synchronization.
"One of Kyland’s major market focuses and technology advantages is to offer a precision clock synchronization solution for utility substations and smart grids," said Kevin Gu, VP of International Business Division, Kyland Technology Co., Ltd. “Through this new partnership, we will be able to provide a validated interoperable PTP 1588 solution to our customers.”
Kyland’s GPT Series IEC61850 & IEEE1588 industrial Ethernet switches – includingSICOM6028GPT, SICOM6424PT,SICOM3028GPT, and SICOM3424PT, which are specifically designed for IEEE1588 substations – together with Kyland PTC1000 PTP to IRIG-B Clock Converter, have now become members of Symmetricom’s SyncWorld Ecosystem Program after an extensive interoperability test with Symmetricom’s Grandmaster solutionSyncServer SGC-1500 Smart Grid Clock.
The successful interoperability reflects that Kyland’s IEEE1588 solution and Symmetricom’s Grandmaster SyncServer SGC-1500 can operate effectively and proves a full compliance of both solutions with IEEE Std 1588-2008 (IEEE Standard for a Precision Clock Synchronization Protocol for Networked Measurement and Control Systems), and IEEE Std C37.238-2011 (Standard Profile for Use of IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol in Power System).
During the detailed test, Kyland’s IEEE1588 solution showcased outstanding performance on precise switch node with less than 50ns inaccuracy, qualified VLAN and priority control, long time stable operating, and good interoperability between ring protocol and IEEE1588. This performance is based on Kyland’s deep understanding to the Power Profile standards and rich experience in IEEE1588 applications.
Kyland’s participation to Symmetricom’s SyncWorld introduces the utility market to a certified PTP 1588 solution cooperated between these two leading vendors in the market.
