Title: Epson AO6860LAN 10 MHz atomic oscillator
Post by: FrankenPC on November 22, 2015, 06:05:00 am

Very vague details from what I can see.  A smallish device that can deliver 10 MHz with a claimed +- 0.05ppb long term stability.  Dimensions: 68 x 60 x 18 mm.

There are other players in this space:  http://www.microsemi.com/products/timing-synchronization-systems/embedded-timing-solutions/components/sa-45s-chip-scale-atomic-clock (http://www.microsemi.com/products/timing-synchronization-systems/embedded-timing-solutions/components/sa-45s-chip-scale-atomic-clock)

Does this mean Epson will be competing with a very low price point?

Very interesting, especially as rubidium frequency references are beginning to disappear from EBay. I wonder what the price of these in one-off quantities is?
