Space, Defense and Avionics Trusted in High Reliability Timing and Frequency Control A Strong Heritage in Space, Defense and Avionics Symmetricom® is the leading worldwide supplier of atomic clocks, network synchronization and timing solutions. Symmetricom designs, develops, and manufactures cesium, Rubidium and quartz timing and frequency control solutions for the space, defense and avionics marketplace. With a track record spanning over 40 years, we are one of the most experienced and trusted providers in the market. Harsh Environments, Precise Accuracy, Superior Reliability Symmetricom’s customers know our products perform reliably and accurately under the most extreme conditions. They also know that we can tailor designs and program support to fit their unique needs. The environmental challenges are unrivaled: extreme temperatures, high radiation, large g-forces, and severe vibrations. Yet products must operate flawlessly, sometimes for years without the possibility of maintenance or repair. The most demanding timing applications are in space, defense and avionics. The environment is the harshest, the need for accuracy is the greatest, and the price of failure is the highest. High-performance frequency and timing products make modern communications and navigation possible, and set the standards by which time itself can be measured everywhere. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
