'We developed the OSA 3200 SP and OSA 3250 ePRC to make our industry-leading optical pumping cesium technology more accessible,' said Gil Biran, GM of Oscilloquartz, Adtran. 'As the only vendor in the industry offering optical pumping cesium solutions, we're uniquely positioned to support customers facing supply chain risk and escalating performance demands. By leveraging our existing high-end platform, we've engineered lower-cost solutions that enable more operators to benefit from the accuracy, longevity and modern manageability needed to keep critical timing infrastructure resilient and secure – whether at the network core, in distributed data centers or across mission-critical environments.'
The OSA 3200 SP addresses the need for a cost-optimized PRC-class cesium clock with standard performance, while the OSA 3250 ePRC is tailored for PNT applications that demand enhanced holdover capabilities. The OSA 3200 SP is a standard-performance cesium clock, part of a widely recognized industry classification that includes standard performance (SP), high performance (HP) and super high performance (SHP) levels.
The OSA 3200 SP and OSA 3250 ePRC share more than 95% of their electronics with Adtran's flagship OSA 3300 and 3350 models, minimizing operational risk, streamlining inventory and ensuring deployment compatibility. Both solutions offer a 10-year service life – two years longer than typical magnetic ePRC clocks – and feature a design that places laser components outside the vacuum chamber. A compact physics package, enabled by unique patented technology, simplifies servicing and lowers system cost. Integrated support for SNMPv3, SSH and syslog is built in via a native TCP/IP stack, while compatibility with Adtran's Mosaic Sync Director enables centralized visibility and control. With multiple timing outputs and secure remote management, these clocks are ready for rapid, scalable deployment.
'Our new solutions offer a more cost-effective route to scalable, sustainable timing,' commented Patrick Berthoud, time and frequency chief scientist at Oscilloquartz, Adtran. 'We're extending the reach of our unique optical pumping cesium innovation to customers who need standard performance and high reliability at a much lower cost. As legacy magnetic clocks become harder to support, the OSA 3200 SP and 3250 ePRC provide a reliable, long-term foundation based on much more advanced technology – easier to manage, easier to service and fully integrated into the modern synchronization ecosystem. Whether for telecom operators, power utilities, transportation, hyperscalers or other markets, these new solutions bring optical cesium technology to entirely new applications.'
Further information on the OSA 3200 SP and OSA 3250 ePRC is available in these slides.
Adtran's Oscilloquartz OSA 3250 ePRC will be on display from June 3 to 4 at the Joint Navigation Conference 2025 in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.

CUPE: Liberals reward Air Canada's refusal to bargain fairly by crushing flight attendants' Charter rights
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Air Canada asked the government to crush underpaid flight attendants' Charter rights, and Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu only waited a few hours to deliver. The Liberal government has invoked Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to end a strike by Air Canada flight attendants fighting to end unpaid work and poverty wages. "The Liberals have talked out of both sides of their mouths. They said the best place for this is at the bargaining table. They refused to correct this historic injustice through legislation," said Wesley Lesosky, President of the Air Canada Component of CUPE. "Now, when we're at the bargaining table with an obstinate employer, the Liberals are violating our Charter rights to take job action and give Air Canada exactly what they want — hours and hours of unpaid labour from underpaid flight attendants, while the company pulls in sky-high profits and extraordinary executive compensation." CUPE came to the table with data-driven and reasonable proposals for a fair cost-of-living wage increase and an end to forced unpaid labour. Air Canada responded by sandbagging the negotiations. The Liberal government is rewarding Air Canada's refusal to negotiate fairly by giving them exactly what they wanted. This sets a terrible precedent. Contrary to the Minister's remarks, this will not ensure labour peace at Air Canada. This will only ensure that the unresolved issues will continue to worsen by kicking them down the road. Nor will it ensure labour peace in this industry — because unpaid work is an unfair practice that pervades nearly the entire airline sector, and will continue to arise in negotiations between flight attendants and other carriers.

'This government is anti-union and anti-worker': CUPE NS Denounces Use of Bill 107
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CUPE Nova Scotia strongly condemns the federal government's decision to interfere in workers' right to collective bargaining and job action by invoking Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code. 'Clearly, this government is anti-union and anti-worker,' said Alan Linkletter, CUPE Nova Scotia President. 'Forcing workers back on the job instead of supporting free and fair collective negotiations directly contradictions workers' rights that are guaranteed under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.' Air Canada has asked the government to crush striking workers' Charter rights, and Federal Labour minister Patty Hajdu is ready to deliver. Hajdu announced that the federal government will be invoking Section 107 at a press conference this afternoon, citing the financial welfare of Canadians and the economy at large as a deciding factor for this decision. 'She says this move is for the financial security of Canadians—are these workers not Canadians? Does their welfare not matter? How can you be financially secure when you don't even get paid for all of the hours you work?' Contrary to the Minister's remarks, this will not ensure labour peace in Canada. This will only push this fight onto the next group of workers in negotiations, while Air Canda's flight attendants continue to work for a billion-dollar company for free. Flight attendants are only paid when the plane is moving, and work as many as 35 unpaid hours a month performing vital duties that ensure the safe and smooth operation of each flight. Now, instead of paying flight attendants for all the hours they work, Air Canada has clearly sought help from the federal government to continue exploiting their employees. 'Minister Hajdu's comments indicate a clear lack of respect for workers' rights,' said Sherry Hillier, President of CUPE Newfoundland and Labrador and National General Vice President for Atlantic Canada. 'By using Section 107 to force workers back on the job yet again, they're setting a pattern. And that pattern is that Liberals don't care about Canadians.' Recent polling data indicates that 9 out of 10 Canadians support Air Canada flight attendants' fight for fair pay. 88% per cent of Canadians believe flight attendants should be paid for all work-related duties including boarding, delays, and safety checks. 76% support raising their pay to reflect the important safety role they play. 59% believe the federal government should respect flight attendants' right to take job action–even if it causes travel disruptions. CUPE represents over 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants across the country, and workers have been demonstrating at Halifax Stanfield International Airport since 6AM. 'Messages of support have been pouring in for these workers from across the country,' continued Linkletter. 'Canadians stand with us. Our elected representatives should, too.'
