Based on the "Defense Industry": Russia began producing its own cesium reference sources of frequency and time for digital equipment

The products of the "Ruselectronics" holding synchronize communication equipment in mobile networks, data processing centers, metrological and space systems

Equipment for high-precision synchronization of digital communication networks, which has no domestic analogues, was developed and is now being produced by NPP "Istok" named after Shokin, which is part of the "Ruselectronics" holding of the Rostec State Corporation.

Cesium reference sources of frequency and time will replace foreign analogues that Russia used to use. The device has passed all the necessary tests, is certified as a primary reference source and is included in the State Register of Measuring Instruments.

The service life of such devices is limited, and there were no similar solutions on the Russian market. Istok specialists, based on their experience in developing frequency standards for special-purpose communication equipment, have created a device for civilian customers. The production of devices does not depend on the supply of imported components, since all the main components of the product are created directly at the enterprise.

Cesium primary reference sources of frequency and time are used as synchronization equipment of the first level of the hierarchy. Such devices generate highly stable signals with maximum accuracy.

Telecommunications equipment is configured and verified using these reference signals. The device is designed to synchronize communication equipment in mobile networks, data processing centers, metrological and space systems.

The device uses an atomic beam tube, where cesium is used as the working substance. The device is installed in telecommunication cabinets of standard design and is able to last at least 10 years.
