Product : Precision Timing Protocol Grand Master Equipment
IS Standard : GCS
TEC (Telecommunication Engineering Centre) is an Indian government organization responsible for standardization in the field of telecommunications. TEC certification is a mandatory requirement for telecommunication equipment to be used in India.
Precision Timing Protocol (PTP) is a protocol used for synchronization of clocks in a network. A Grand Master is a device that serves as the primary time source in a PTP network. To obtain TEC certification for PTP Grand Master equipment, the equipment must meet certain technical requirements and undergo testing by TEC-approved labs.
The specific technical requirements and testing procedures for TEC certification of PTP Grand Master equipment can be found in TEC's Technical Standards document TEC/GR/TX/CPE/002-01, which outlines the standards for "Clock synchronization using IEEE 1588v2 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) for IP-based packet networks."
To obtain TEC certification, the manufacturer of the PTP Grand Master equipment must submit the equipment to a TEC-approved lab for testing. The lab will evaluate the equipment's compliance with the technical standards outlined in the TEC/GR/TX/CPE/002-01 document. If the equipment meets the technical requirements, the lab will issue a certificate of compliance, which the manufacturer can then use to obtain TEC certification for the equipment.
