SOC-E Makes TSN Network Configuration More Accessible with New Annual Licensing Options

Share this post

New renewable annual licences for RELY-TSN.Configurator simplify access to centralised TSN network configuration, while the integration of VIEWER enhances network analysis capabilities.

At SOC-E, we believe that Centralised Network Configuration (CNC) tools play an essential role in simplifying the design, configuration and deployment of Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) infrastructures. As TSN networks become increasingly complex, having the right engineering tools is crucial to reducing configuration efforts, minimising potential errors and ensuring that network resources are configured according to application requirements.

With this in mind, and as part of our ongoing commitment to making TSN technology more accessible, SOC-E is introducing new renewable annual licences for RELY-TSN.Configurator, providing customers with a more flexible and affordable way to access advanced TSN network engineering capabilities.

Simplifying TSN Deployment with Flexible Annual Licensing

RELY-TSN.Configurator has been developed to simplify the engineering process behind TSN networks, providing an intuitive environment in which users can model network topologies, define traffic streams, configure TSN mechanisms and evaluate network configurations.

By centralising these tasks within a single software environment, the tool significantly reduces the complexity associated with configuring deterministic Ethernet networks.

Once the desired network configuration has been validated, RELY-TSN.Configurator automatically generates device-specific configuration files in YANG-based XML format. These files can then be deployed to compatible network devices, with the additional possibility of automating configuration distribution through a NETCONF server.

Recognising the importance of these capabilities for organisations adopting TSN, SOC-E has introduced renewable annual licensing options to lower the initial investment required and make the software accessible to a broader range of projects and users.

This new licensing model is particularly attractive for companies developing TSN testbeds, evaluating network architectures or working on projects with specific development and validation timelines.

Customers can now select the licensing option that best suits their technical requirements, project duration and budget, making it easier to incorporate advanced TSN configuration tools from the earliest stages of development.

Enhanced Network Analysis with Integrated VIEWER

In addition to the new licensing options, and in response to feedback received from customers, SOC-E has integrated RELY-TSN.Configurator VIEWER natively into both the Standard and Plus editions.

This improvement aims to facilitate the analysis and evaluation of TSN solutions by providing users with additional capabilities to review network configurations within the same software environment.

This enhancement is available in the recently released v2.2 of both RELY-TSN.Configurator and RELY-TSN.Configurator+, reflecting SOC-E’s ongoing commitment to improving its tools based on real customer needs and delivering a more comprehensive and efficient TSN engineering experience.

Supporting the Adoption of TSN Technologies

With these developments, SOC-E reinforces its commitment to removing barriers to TSN adoption by combining powerful network engineering capabilities with more flexible licensing options.

From initial network design to configuration generation and deployment, RELY-TSN.Configurator helps organisations bring deterministic Ethernet networks into operation with greater simplicity, efficiency and confidence.
