SAN DIEGO – Congatec Inc. in San Diego is introducing embedded computing boards for time-sensitive networking (TSN) aimed at networked factories and critical infrastructures.
The goal of the edge computing product for TSN is to ease building time-sensitive networks for smart factory and critical infrastructure operators. Such applications need secure real-time gateway technologies.
The Congatec products are for low-latency communication at the edge and include real-time hypervisor software support for deterministic and secure data processing and data exchange between the devices and real-time clouds in harsh industrial environments.
Target applications of the TSN-enabled ecosystem include aerospace, government, public safety, industrial manufacturing, energy and utilities, transportation and logistics, and health care.

Congatec's TSN-enabled edge computing ecosystem spans computer-on-modules supporting real-time enabled 5G cellular connectivity for real-time 5G clients and gateways, as well as server-grade real-time cloud and base station server-on-modules.
All those modules are TSN-enabled, support real-time hypervisor technology and are prepared to host third-party real-time enabled cellular 5G connectivity to deploy real-time applications in pre-configured real-time virtual machines.
For local wired infrastructures between servers and clients, TSN-enabled smart switching platforms also are available. Personal integration support and training programs on how to implement IEEE 802.1 Qbv-compliant TSN clock synchronization and time-triggered communication round off Congatec's TSN ecosystem.
