Clark, what the heck is a double oven crystal oscillator (DOCXO)? Any idea what gizmo they're baking in these things?
Oak Industries' Oak Frequency Control Group
Receives Major Order for Double Oven Crystal
Oscillators
WALTHAM, Mass., July 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Oak Industries Inc. (NYSE: OAK)
today announced that its Oak Frequency Control Group (OFCG) has received a
multi-million dollar order for precision double oven crystal oscillator (DOCXO)
products from a leading provider of wireless communications infrastructure for its
newest generation of CDMA base stations. This is the largest of several production
orders for DOCXOs received by OFCG from wireless infrastructure providers. The
DOCXO will be produced in OFCG's Mt. Holly Springs, PA facility, and utilizes
precision crystal resonators manufactured by OFCG's North American crystal
facilities. This sole source order is supported by a consignment agreement
designed to provide immediate product availability and scheduling flexibility in the
rapidly expanding CDMA market.
The DOCXO quartz-based technology is 20 times more stable than a standard
single oven crystal oscillator (OCXO), and provides an alternative to
Rubidium-based timing products at a fraction of the cost. This performance makes
the DOCXO ideally suitable for applications requiring precision timing, such as
those in CDMA and GSM wireless infrastructure, central office switching, and test
instrumentation.
"This order for the DOCXO confirms OFCG's leadership position in the precision
oscillator market," said James Evans, OFCG's Vice President of Sales and
Marketing. "We believe OFCG is now the largest provider of DOCXOs in the world.
OFCG has succeeded in the wireless marketplace by offering its customers a
combination of technical expertise, leading edge products, and advanced high
volume oscillator manufacturing capabilities."
OFCG is a leading supplier of quartz-based crystals and oscillators for use in
wireless, wired telephony, military, satellite and other communications
applications. Information regarding OFCG's North American products is available at
