Why TSN in the Railway sector?

The Railway sector has evolved from serial Train Communication Networks to Ethernet-based solutions. But the lack of real-time traffic communication and functions isolation capabilities of traditional Ethernet has limited the adoption of standardized Ethernet based solutions.

There is where Time-Sensitive Networking takes place. Time-Sensitive Networking has been identified as the next generation Data Link layer for railway communications by the railway manufactures and operators.

This whitepaper was also published in the May/June Issue (p. 40-41) of the Industrial Ethernet Book.
