Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) Products

What is TSN?


Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is a set of standards developed by the IEEE® to help facilitate real-time communication over Ethernet networks while providing low latency and high reliability. Within one standard, TSN addresses four major challenges for designers: timing, redundancy, resiliency and management. We offer a broad portfolio of TSN-qualified Ethernet PHYs, switches and endpoints to enable increased interoperability and design flexibility.

TSN Overview


Industry/Application IEEE® Standard
Industrial Automation IEEE 60802
Automotive IEEE P802.1DG
Aerospace IEEE P802.1DP
Audio-Video Bridging (AVB) IEEE 802.1BA
Cellular Fronthaul Networks IEEE Std 802.1CMde-2020
