About
Calnex Solutions plc is a company specializing in the development, manufacturing, and global marketing of advanced test instrumentation and comprehensive solutions. Its primary focus areas encompass precise network synchronization and robust network emulation, catering to the needs of telecommunications networks, enterprise networks, and data centers across the globe. The company's diverse product portfolio addresses a wide array of testing requirements. For modern 5G networks, the Paragon-neo platform facilitates highly accurate PTP and SyncE testing up to 400GbE, achieving sub-nanosecond precision. NE-ONE serves as a performance testing application, enabling the evaluation of application functionality under realistic conditions across various networks, including LAN, WAN, Internet, Cloud, Wi-Fi, (A)DSL, mobile, and satellite. For designing and validating network architectures, Calnex SNE provides tools for network emulation and simulation. Field-based testing is supported by Sentinel, a solution vital for applications like 3G/4G/5G mobile backhaul, E911/critical infrastructure, financial networks, and power communications. Specific PTP profiles, including IEEE 802.1AS/AS-REV, SMPTE 2059-2, and ITU-T G.8275.1, are addressed by Paragon-ONE. The Paragon-X system is designed to test SyncE, PTP, and NTP mechanisms, as well as E1/T1 sync interfaces and Ethernet OAM functions. For high-speed Ethernet device validation, Calnex offers Attero-100G for 100/40/25GbE performance assessments, alongside Attero-X for network emulation. The Attero-V virtual impairments tool further enhances and complements the existing range of Spirent virtualization products. Additionally, Tempo provides pre-configured tests for embedded GPS/GLONASS/BEDOU receivers, with an optional mini rubidium oscillator. Complementary tools include the Rb/GPS frequency reference, which delivers stable 10MHz and 1pps measurement signals essential for synchronization testers, and a 1pps/ToD/Frequency Converter for adapting critical signals required by contemporary network devices. The Calnex Analysis Tool is also available as software for detailed network and device diagnostics. Calnex Solutions distributes its offerings internationally through a dedicated network of regional resellers and distributors. Established in 2006, the firm maintains its corporate headquarters in Linlithgow, United Kingdom.
