ITSF Time and Sync in Telecoms 2013

ITSF 2013 – “Time for Phase”

The theme for ITSF 2013 to be held in Lisbon, Portugal on the 5-7 November is “Time for Phase”.

The conference will examine why it is “time for phase”, the implications and challenges of delivering precise “time” to within a few 100 nanoseconds as opposed to “timing” around a telecom network. It will explore vulnerabilities and mitigation solutions.

This ITSF event will be the 10th anniversary of the introduction to the Telecoms community of the IEEE 1588 timing technology by John Eidson. We did not know then how important this technology would be as a time transport solution to mitigate vulnerabilities for the yet to emerge broadband mobile networks. I am pleased to announce that John Eidson himself has agreed to be the 2013 ITSF Time Lord.
