Innovasic to Demonstrate TSN-ready Deterministic Ethernet at the 2016 Automotive Ethernet Congress in Munich

January 14, 2016

Albuquerque, New Mexico USA, January, 2016. Innovasic, a leader in deterministic Ethernet semiconductor solutions, will demonstrate how time-critical control data can be effectively managed on an Ethernet network using technologies that are being adopted and evaluated by the IEEE standards association for 802.1 Time Sensitive Networking (TSN).

By using its fido5000 Real-time Ethernet Multiprotocol (REM) switch chip, Innovasic will demonstrate scheduled traffic (802.1Qbv), time synchronization (802.1AS-Rev) and ingress policing (802.1Qci). These capabilities enable deterministic control of critical data packets, even in the presence of very high levels of non-critical traffic. The fido5000 chip is unique in having a programmable … Read More → "Innovasic to Demonstrate TSN-ready Deterministic Ethernet at the 2016 Automotive Ethernet Congress in Munich"
