[time-nuts] Symmetricom Launches CSAC Product for Precise Timing and Synchronization

Strangely, the article from the original email in this thread 
http://www.insidegnss.com/node/2446#Baseband_Technologies_Inc_

mentions the useage of cesium atoms in a resonance cell.   The data sheet does 
not mention cesium (at least from what I can see.)

Hi Mark:

I got the idea that it's a Rubidium clock.

Have Fun,
