1.1 Positioning
The SYNLOCK T8010 (T8010 for short) is a next-generation high-precision clock
server platform provided by Huawei. It is a future-oriented product developed to
follow the high-precision 5G development trend. It uses a new architecture design
to implement high-precision and flexible satellite card, clock oscillator, and port
configuration. In addition, it features high integration, high reliability, and high-
density ports.
The T8010 can be used in the following scenarios:
1. Traditional TDM synchronous networks where frequency reference is provided
using E1/Hz interfaces.
2. Traditional packet synchronization networks where frequency reference and
1588v2 time reference are provided using Ethernet interfaces.
3. 5G scenario where the precision requirement is increased to 30 ns, and small-
sized, high-precision, and cost-effective devices need to be deployed closer to
the aggregation layer.
4. Industry applications where PTP and NTP time synchronization services are
provided mainly using Ethernet interfaces to implement time synchronization

and reference frequency is provided using E1/Hz interfaces to implement

frequency synchronization.
The T8010 supports point-to-point, chain, ring, and mesh networking modes. It
can work with other transmission node devices to comprise a complete
synchronization network solution.

1.2 Traditional Networking Scenario

Frequency synchronization is mainly required by traditional transmission networks
and 2G, 3G, and 4G frequency division duplexing (FDD) base stations.

1.3 5G Networking Scenario

According to the requirements of 5G synergy services, the precision of a time
source is shortened from 100 ns to 30 ns. Devices are moved closer to the
aggregation equipment rooms connected to an access ring. This reduces the
number of synchronization hops, ensures synchronization precision, and reduces
the cost of bearer network reconstruction. Each aggregation equipment room has
an active BITS and a standby BITS for protection.

1.5 Product Feature

This section describes the features of the T8010.

Simple Structure and Platform Shared by Different Forms

The T8010 II is a 2 U device. Two types of backplanes share the same platform
and boards, reducing the number of SBOM codes and spare parts and reducing
the maintenance cost. The T8010 I and T8010 II can be installed indoors in 19-inch
or ETSI cabinets or subracks with 300 mm deep.

Customized Scenario Configuration

● Different satellite cards can be configured based on the deployment precision
and satellite mode requirements.
● Different clock oscillators can be configured based on the deployment
location and cost requirements.
● Different interfaces can be configured based on industry application
requirements.

Resource Sharing, Saving CAPEX

Boards can be shared by 1 U and 2 U T8010. Spare parts can also be shared. This
reduces occupied inventories and the cost.

Ultra-large Capacity
● Supports the output of high-density ports with at least 32 channels.
● Supports the capability of carrying at least 4096 Precision Time Protocol (PTP)
clients.
● Supports the capability of carrying Network Time Protocol (NTP) clients with
at least 20,000 transactions per second (TPS).
