Signal transmission, power supply and
control via fiber optics
GNSS over fiber / SYNCRO
Due to increasing data volumes and transmission speeds, the
requirements for time synchronization in data centers are also
growing. Coordinating data streams in a network requires very
low latency and precise timing. Also mobile communication
coverage - for example at large event venues and for distributed
antenna systems (DAS) - need good synchronization. With
SYNCRO, HUBER+SUHNER has developed a GNSS and
Power-over-Fiber system not only offers the transmission of
accurate timing information from satellite GPS signals, but also
enables the power supply of the active antenna via fiber.
Usually, the power supply of the active GNSS antenna is
provided by using a conventional power connection. Now the
additional power supply becomes unnecessary, as the fiber optic
connection of the antenna takes over this part and can transport
the received data almost loss-free over longer distances in the
same time.
The new GNSS and Power-over-Fiber solution operates with
existing infrastructures and can be easily upgraded to meet
future challenges.
SYNCRO: Fiber-enhanced GNSS
connectivity
Today’s connected world depends on precise timing. GNSS
(Global Navigation Satellite System) delivers atomic
clock–based time signals, ensuring global synchronization and
reliable performance across systems where every microsecond
matters
GNSS is essential for applications such as: Mobile network,
Broadcasting, Distributed antenna systems, Data centers,
AI & HPC, Financial systems, Power grids, Test Labs
Our SYNCRO product family comprise of SYNCRO Max,
SYNCRO Eco, SYNCRO Mini carefully curated to address the
synchronization need for different use case in various
application offering a cost-effective and scalable alternative to
traditional infrastructure. It enables secure, flexible, and
accurate time distribution, without the complexity of coaxial
cabling. Keep your network ready for tomorrow’s timing
demands with simplified design and higher performance.
