Sentinel

Easily test the performance of your network’s synchronization. Sentinel captures all data simultaneously enabling you to correlate timing performance at different points in the network, even between different timing architectures.

  • Verify Phase, Time and Frequency synchronization
  • Monitor performance and diagnose synchronization issues on 3G/4G/5G Mobile, Data Center, Financial, Power and other Telecoms networks
  •  25/100G, 5G Over-The-Air (OTA) and battery operation for OTA measurements
  • Long term PTP TE measurements (1G/10G/25G/100G), with or without GNSS (PRS-10 Rb)

 

Easy measurements

  • PTP, NTP, SyncE (IPv4/IPv6)
  • 1pps/clock signals
  • Over the Air (OTA) signals
  • Multiple clock and packet measurements simultaneously
  • G.8265.1/G.8275.1/G.8275.2 testing – profiles and metrics
  • PTP Pseudo Subordinate – PDV/2wayTE to ITU-T specifications
  • PTP Protocol Check and Packet Capture
  • NTP Pseudo Client – PDV/2wayTE performance
  • SyncE wander and ESMC measurements

Over-The-Air (OTA) measurement

Measure time error performance Over The Air (OTA)

  • Represents the actual experience of the end user (UE)
  • 4G and 5G
  • Absolute and Relative ‘virtual’ 1PPS measurements
  • FDD or TDD

Simultaneously, measure:

  • Input/output PTP 2wayTE/pktSelected 2wayTE/PDV
  • Output 1PPS TE/frequency
  • Input/output SyncE Wander and ESMC decode

Easy analysis

  • Live metrics calculated and displayed real time
  • Built in Packet Capture to check configuration
  • Detailed measurement report in PDF
  • PFV (PTP Field Verification) to check conformance
  • CAT (Calnex Analysis Tool) for full suite of metrics for deep insight

Easy to operate

  • Auto discovery of signals
  • Easy to navigate GUI
  • Short and long term measurements
  • Real time graphs of TE data
  • Built in industry standard masks and PTP profiles

Easy features
