About This Part
The Ericsson KRE1012182/1 is a critical Global Positioning System (GPS) synchronization unit designed to deliver highly accurate timing and frequency references for advanced telecommunications infrastructure. As an integral component within Ericsson's extensive portfolio of network solutions, this module typically functions as a precision timing source, essential for the coherent operation of modern cellular networks, including LTE and 5G deployments. Its primary role involves receiving satellite signals from the GPS constellation, processing them to extract precise timing information, then distributing synchronized clock signals (such as 1PPS – one pulse per second, and 10MHz frequency references) to various network elements. This ensures phase alignment and frequency stability across the network, which is vital for technologies requiring strict timing, like TDD (Time Division Duplex) operations and inter-base station handovers. The KRE1012182/1 is engineered for robust performance, often featuring holdover capabilities to maintain timing integrity during temporary GPS signal disruptions, thereby ensuring continuous network availability and service quality. Its compact form factor allows seamless integration into Ericsson's base station platforms or other network nodes, providing reliable synchronization without requiring significant additional space. The deployment of the Ericsson KRE1012182/1 is fundamental across a wide array of telecommunication and data centre environments where precise timing is non-negotiable. Typically, this unit is installed within Ericsson Radio Base Stations (RBS), such as the RBS 6000 series, or other network nodes that demand a highly stable and accurate clock source. Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) globally rely on such GPS synchronization units to ensure the seamless operation of their 2G, 3G, 4G LTE, and 5G networks. It addresses critical challenges such as maintaining phase synchronization for TDD-LTE and 5G NR deployments, which are highly sensitive to timing discrepancies, and facilitating smooth handovers between cell sites. Beyond mobile networks, the KRE1012182/1 can also serve in data centre applications, providing synchronized time for distributed systems, accurate log file correlation, and precise event sequencing, which are crucial for compliance and operational integrity. By providing a reliable and traceable timing reference, this unit prevents network performance degradation caused by timing drift, thereby optimizing resource utilization and enhancing overall service quality. It often serves as a direct replacement for failing synchronization modules or as an essential component in network expansions and upgrades, enabling operators to meet evolving demands for timing accuracy. Revo Distribution Limited specializes in providing high-quality used and refurbished telecommunications and data centre equipment, including the essential Part Number KRE1012182/1. For B2B clients seeking cost-effective infrastructure solutions, acquiring refurbished GPS synchronization units like this Ericsson module from Revo offers significant advantages. Telecom operators and data centre providers can leverage Revo's extensive inventory to expand their networks, perform critical upgrades, or maintain existing infrastructure with a reduced capital expenditure compared to purchasing new equipment. This approach not only provides a financially astute alternative but also ensures the continued operational viability of legacy systems that might otherwise be prematurely decommissioned due to the unavailability or high cost of new spare parts. By extending the lifecycle of existing infrastructure, Revo actively supports sustainable practices within the industry, helping clients minimize electronic waste and maximize their initial investments. Our commitment at Revo is to deliver reliable, tested equipment that meets stringent quality standards, empowering our partners to achieve their network objectives efficiently and economically.
