Precise timing synchronization for high-performance networks is now improved as HUBER+SUHNER launches enhancements to the world's first truly copper-free fiber powered link.

The HUBER+SUHNER Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Power-over-Fiber solution brings pre-, during, and post installation benefits to telecommunications providers working in the 5G and data center space. Using fiber optics as a means of power for the antenna brings cost and timing savings during installation and operation, as no power distribution is needed on a building's roof.

"Using the GNSS signal from satellites enables the acquisition of precise and accessible timing information from atomic clocks, while combining this with the distribution over fiber, lower attenuation over longer distances is enabled," says Product manager Dominik Tibolla at HUBER +SUHNER.
