“We’re pleased to be able to announce that Adtran’s OSA 5400 TimeCard™ now supports the OCP-TAP driver. It’s an important milestone in our collective quest to advance robust and accurate timing solutions for distributed system use cases. By meeting our framework’s specifications, Adtran is helping us drive standardization and interoperability, accelerating the industry’s shift to open, standardized hardware,” said Ahmad Byagowi, TAP project leader at OCP-TAP. “This pluggable solution represents a simple route to accurate, reliable and robust data center timing. We believe that solutions like the OSA 5400 TimeCard™ will play a pivotal role in advancing the next generation of scalable and resilient infrastructure.”
Enabling data center operators to efficiently host the most demanding time-sensitive applications, Adtran’s OSA 5400 TimeCard™ plugs into any free PCIe slot to turn a standard COTS server into a precise PTP grandmaster clock or NTP server. With multiple oscillator options, the solution ensures accurate timing even during extended periods of GNSS disturbances. In combination with Adtran’s Ensemble Sync Director, the OSA 5400 TimeCard™ provides operational teams with a comprehensive, unified view of their entire timing infrastructure. This enables them to easily manage all elements of their timing network, enhancing control and reliability. What’s more, the OSA 5400 TimeCard™ has been developed to align fully with the IEEE P3335 standardization, ensuring adaptability and underscoring Adtran’s commitment to industry advancement in a cohesive digital ecosystem.
“We’re proud that our OSA 5400 TimeCard™ has been validated by OCP-TAP. This card brings our 74 years of expertise in timing and synchronization to standard servers, going beyond the TAP specifications to provide a scalable, fully featured timing solution in a compact half-size PCIe card. It offers a major boost for data center operators looking to embrace open, disaggregated hardware, especially where timing is vital and space is limited. Our OSA 5400 TimeCard™ ensures seamless, efficient operation of mission-critical and time-sensitive applications,” commented Igal Pinhasov, VP of PLM at Oscilloquartz, Adtran. “As the industry progresses towards agile, cost-effective data center environments, our pluggable timing technology will play a defining role in shaping future architectures.”

Verimatrix Announces Release of DVB ReAccess Over-the-Air CAS Retrofit Solution14.1.2025 17:45:00 CET | Press Release
Regulatory News: Verimatrix, (Euronext Paris: VMX, FR0010291245), the leader in powering the modern connected world with people-centered security, today announced general availability of its new DVB ReAccess solutions that serves as a uniquely powerful over-the-air (OTA) Conditional Access System (CAS). The solution also provides users with added peace of mind following the recent completion of Cartesian’s Farncombe Security® Audit. DVB ReAccess addresses a notable hurdle for one-way networks such as broadcast satellite providers that lack bidirectional handshakes to identify and authenticate client devices authorized to decrypt content. In one-way networks, the security of content relies almost exclusively on the resistance and resilience of the CAS, the most secure of which have a client software deeply anchored within the device’s hardware, leveraging a number of security features provided by the chipset. Consequently, once a CAS is integrated on a device, it’s typically very challe
