ADVA (FSE: ADV) today announced the Cyprus Telecommunications Authority (Cyta) is leveraging its timing technology in a national synchronization network, addressing legacy timing applications and ensuring a smooth migration to precise packet timing for 5G critical services in the future. The solution enables Cyta to meet the stringent timing requirements of next-generation services while supporting all existing mobile technologies. ADVA’s Oscilloquartz PTP grandmaster clock and GNSS receiver technology not only enhances synchronization precision but also provides new levels of resilience and reliability. The project was facilitated by ADVA’s partners, the ICT solutions providers GCC Computers Ltd and ADAPTIT S.A., which will also provide ongoing technical support.

“Cyta now has a synchronization network able to address the accuracy, efficiency and stability demands of 5G. With support for NTP, PTP and SyncE, our technology ensures that the new infrastructure meets the needs of Cyta’s legacy applications, ensuring a smooth migration to the precise packet timing that is critical for 5G services,” said Hartmut Müller-Leitloff, SVP, sales, EMEA, ADVA. “Together with GCC’s and ADAPTIT S.A.’s teams, we’ve engineered a solution that fits Cyta’s exact requirements. It provides the sub-microsecond accuracy necessary for advanced mobile applications together with hardware redundancy for unbeatable resilience. What’s more, our Ensemble Controller network management technology makes it simple to operate.”
Prior to the deployment, Cyta’s timing network was based purely on frequency synchronization. It now distributes stable and accurate phase and time-of-day information, supporting the enhanced spectrum utilization needed for 5G. The solution features the OSA 5420 Series of grandmaster clocks, optimized for mobile backhaul and fronthaul in the radio access network. In the core, the OSA 5440 provides highest accuracy and availability with its dual multi-band, multi-constellation GNSS receiver and full hardware redundancy. The technology is remotely controlled by ADVA’s Ensemble Sync Director. This provides a powerful management platform, giving Cyta full visibility of its synchronization infrastructure and assuring perfect end-to-end timing.
“We’ve worked closely with Cyta to create a synchronization solution that fits its precise needs. Able to support both legacy and next-generation packet networking, Cyta’s new timing network is space- and power-efficient, assured by in-service PTP and GNSS monitoring and protected by hardware redundancy. Our engineers have also provided support at every stage of the process and made certain that the installation was carried out without any disruption to services,” commented Vasileios Karavasilis, commercial director, ADAPTIT S.A. “As a key distributor of ADVA’s Oscilloquartz solutions, we know all about the value of precise and reliable timing in mission-critical networks. Cyta is now prepared for mass 5G rollout with a synchronization architecture able to meet key challenges both now and in the future.”

Ant International Research Highlights How Readable AI Memories Can Unlock More Personalised, Privacy-conscious Consumer Experiences2.11.2026 09:52:00 CET | Press release
Human sales and customer representatives have institutional memories to serve clients: their preferences and choices. How can we build a memory mechanism for AI services to create similarly personalised experiences? Ant International’s research on this subject recently received the Senior Area Chair (SAC) Highlight Award from the Best Paper Committee at EMNLP 2026, a leading global AI conference. Why do we need “readable AI memory”? In this paper titled 'Text as a universal interface for transferable personalisation', we look into one fact: until now, AI memory of a user has usually been generated and stored as dense numerical code only the original system can interpret. Two long-standing problems with that: First, today's user profiles are "black boxes" — opaque code locked inside a single app, so activity in one service teaches nothing to another, and every product has to re-learn you from scratch. Second, profiles are welded to the model that created them, so they don't transfer whe
