Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.
Looking Forward to APEX EXPO 2026
I-Connect007 Magazine previews APEX EXPO 2026, covering everything from the show floor to the technical conference. For PCB designers, we move past the dreaded auto-router and spotlight AI design tools that actually matter.

NEC, AEROTHAI Elevate Air Traffic Safety with Advanced Time Sync Solutions from Adtran Oscilloquartz
December 24, 2025 | JCN NewswireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
NEC Corporation, a leading global IT and network transformation services provider, and Aeronautical Radio of Thailand Ltd. (AEROTHAI), Thailand’s state enterprise for air traffic control and aeronautical communication, have partnered to capitalize on Adtran’s Oscilloquartz OSA 5412 timing solution. This deployment strengthens AEROTHAI’s air traffic management infrastructure by enhancing synchronization accuracy, mitigating Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)-related risks, and ensuring uninterrupted operations across critical airport systems.
AEROTHAI is committed to delivering world-class navigation services that ensure safety, efficiency, and global competitiveness. As the organization faces rising air traffic demand, airspace congestion, and the challenge of modernizing aging infrastructure, AEROTHAI sought a solution that delivers greater accuracy, scalability, and reliability in order to replace outdated systems.
To address these challenges, NEC has supplied AEROTHAI with Adtran’s Oscilloquartz OSA 5412, an advanced timing solution designed for precision and reliability, which improves timing accuracy, strengthens network resilience, and ensures compliance with international aviation standards—delivering a cost-effective, future-ready platform for safer skies.
This deployment enhances aviation safety and reinforces Thailand’s role as a leading regional hub. By modernizing critical infrastructure, NEC helps AEROTHAI build long-term resilience and operational excellence. NEC remains committed to delivering secure, scalable network solutions that drive innovation and ensure a safer, more connected future for the aviation industry.
"Safe, efficient air traffic operations depend on timing that’s accurate, stable and secure, making synchronization the backbone of modern air traffic management. Our OSA 5412 provides AEROTHAI with scalable multi-source synchronization that minimizes GNSS exposure and streamlines operations. With integrated assurance and aviation‑grade safeguards, the solution supports uninterrupted service as traffic grows, giving controllers consistent, dependable timing. This deployment helps Thailand modernize critical infrastructure with technology that strengthens safety, improves efficiency and sets a clear path for expansion," said Stuart Broome, GM of EMEA and APAC sales, Adtran.
"We are proud to support AEROTHAI’s mission of delivering world-class air navigation services that meet user requirements for safety, standards, and efficiency. Through our strong global partnership with Adtran, we provide advanced timing solutions that enhance safety and efficiency for the airports in Thailand. NEC remains committed to delivering innovative, secure, and scalable solutions and services that empower the aviation industry for a safer, more connected future worldwide," said Masayuki Kayahara, Corporate SVP, Global Network Division, NEC Corporation.
