One of the key attributes brought about by industrial IoT (IIoT) is the shift of focus to increased efficiency and lower costs using smart edge devices and Big Data analytics. However, massive data transmissions to and from many IIoT devices in remote sites, over diverse network connections and in a timely manner is challenging.

Delivering sub-microsecond time accuracy to cellular base stations was one of the major challenges that cellular providers faced as they started to deploy their new LTE networks. This was further exacerbated by LTE-A’s stringent synchronization requirements and, now when 5G is at our doorstep, time accuracy requirements are being “stretched” again, challenging the boundaries of what physics can deliver.
