Albedo xGenius – multifunction PTP, network synchronization and 10GbE tester

Albedo xGenius is a portable, multifunction PTP and network synchronization tester capable of working with 10GbE, T1/E1/E0 and C37.94 interfaces. Thanks to a built-in rubidium clock synchronized with a GNSS receiver, the unit delivers the highest accuracy in latency and phase wander measurements – both in the laboratory and directly in the field.

The xGenius PTP tester enables simultaneous testing of synchronization and transmission in networks up to 10 Gb/s, supports PTP Master/Slave emulation (Telecom and Power profiles), RFC-2544, Y.1564 e-SAM, TCP RFC 6349 and packet capture at full interface speed (Wirespeed). It weighs only 1.9 kg and runs for up to 24 h on Li-Po batteries.

Hot-swappable modules

The unique module architecture allows the functionality of xGenius to be extended in the field – without sending the unit back to service:

• C37.94 (optical substation interface)

• Datacom DTE/DCE: V.11/X.24, V.24/V.28, V.24/V.35, V.24/V.11 (V.36/RS449)

Rubidium clock and GNSS synchronization

At the heart of the xGenius synchronization module is a built-in rubidium clock disciplined by a GNSS receiver. This solution provides nanosecond-level accuracy essential for PTP Phase and One-way Delay measurements – without the need to connect an external time source. The clock runs continuously in holdover mode after loss of the GPS signal.

Rubidium clock parameters

Operating mode	Frequency accuracy	Time accuracy
Free-run (7.5 min warm-up)	±1×10⁻⁹	–
Free-run (24 h warm-up)	±5.0×10⁻¹¹	–
GPS locked (after 24 h)	±5.0×10⁻¹¹	±50 ns
Holdover (after 24 h synchronization, after 2 h)	1.5×10⁻¹¹ / 24 h	±100 ns / 2 h
