Chronos Technology, headquartered in
Lydbrook,
Gloucestershire, United Kingdom. For
more than 20 years Chronos Technology ("Chronos") has been a leader
in the domain of time and frequency. Today, Chronos is recognized
as one of the most important players in the field of
Synchronisation for telecommunications systems. Chronos is also one

History
Chronos began its
operations in 1986 as a reseller of Oscillators and time and
frequency standards, during the early days of the digital telecoms
revolution.
In 1996 Chronos moved into their current premises,
Stowfield House, in the Forest of Dean.
In 2001, Chronos were
instrumental in forming the International Telecom Sync Forum,
bringing together a group of industry experts to emulate (from a
European perspective) the US Workshop on Sync in Telecommunication
Systems (WSTS) held annually in Boulder, Colorado at NIST. The first ITSF workshop was held in
March 2001 at The Royal Garden Hotel, Kensington, London. Although
originally conceived as an annual event - the severe recession in
the telecom sector meant that the 2002 and 2003 workshops were
cancelled. ITSF has been resurrected in 2004 and was hosted by the
Institute of Electrical Engineers at their Savoy Place HQ in
London.
Products
Chronos' core business is to supply
high quality synchronization solutions. Its goal is to provide the
telecom industry with turnkey solutions for synchronisation of all

clocks (level 1), the distribution of this reference throughout

Additionally, Chronos's unique remote measurement solution,
SyncWatch offers a wide range of operators the ability to 24 x 7
