02Project Overview

A high-density embedded main board designed for network timing and synchronisation applications. Built around the FEDERON 2600 platform, the board integrates multiple SFP+ network interfaces for Grandmaster, Backhaul, and Auxiliary channels alongside a GPS/RTC subsystem for precision time-keeping. A dedicated LOM (Lights Out Management) module enables remote board management, while the power board connector supports modular power delivery. The dense multi-layer design accommodates high-speed signal routing across hundreds of components in a compact footprint.
