Optical cesium atomic clocks - Oscilloquartz has developed optical cesium atomic clocks that are more stable and accurate than magnetic cesium-based solutions and exceed the current ITU-T G.811.1 enhanced primary reference clock (ePRC) specification. The current highest-end clocks in this range combine with core grandmaster devices to provide holdover accuracy of 100 nanoseconds for 100 days.

"Multi-source grandmaster clocks with STL capability" - In 2024, Adtran Oscilloquartz released its OSA 5405-S grandmaster solution. Alongside a GNSS receiver and an integrated cesium clock, the device features a satellite time and location (STL) module that can access low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite signals for increased positioning navigation and timing (PNT) resiliency. The company also offers a pluggable module with STL capabilities for augmenting third-party equipment.

"Time Scale System" - The Oscilloquartz Time Scale System is a fully integrated, customizable timekeeping solution that ensures UTC realization and adheres to stringent international standards.
