Real-Time Precision with Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN)

Unlock deterministic Ethernet communication for time-critical operations with TSN technologies across industrial sectors.

Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN)

Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is a collection of IEEE 802.1 standards designed to bring deterministic communication capabilities to standard Ethernet. By enabling synchronized, low-latency, and reliable data transmission, TSN addresses the demands of industrial automation, autonomous systems, and real-time applications. It ensures time-critical data is delivered predictably across interconnected systems, eliminating jitter and latency that affect traditional Ethernet. As a growing B2B technology across North America, TSN is reshaping how businesses design real-time control systems and synchronize data flows across distributed devices. MeshNetworkPro supports industrial clients with advanced TSN solutions tailored for scalable, robust, and mission-critical networks. Our offerings are particularly beneficial for sectors like automotive, manufacturing, utilities, and telecommunications where timing is vital. As a B2B technology leader based in Denver, CO, we offer complete integration, support, and cutting-edge products that enable customers to realize the full potential of TSN.

Case Studies

Case Study 1: U.S. – Automotive Assembly Plant

An automotive manufacturer in Michigan implemented MeshNetworkPro’s TSN-enabled switches to streamline its robotic assembly line. This allowed for precise timing and coordination between welding robots and conveyor belts, reducing production delays by 38% and increasing throughput reliability.

Case Study 2: U.S. – Smart Grid Substation

A utility company in Texas utilized MeshNetworkPro’s TSN infrastructure to manage time-critical data between substations. With our hardware and configuration tools, the firm achieved sub-microsecond synchronization across all data points, increasing grid responsiveness and reducing risk of cascading outages.

Case Study 3: Canada – Aerospace Control Systems

A Canadian aerospace firm used our TSN solutions to synchronize avionics data across redundant flight control systems. The resulting improvements in data precision and fault tolerance helped the company meet Transport Canada compliance benchmarks
