About the Program
IEEE is offering the ability for organizations to license the TSN logo to indicate that their products leverage the TSN technology as in the IEEE 802.1 Series of Standards. Products can then leverage the TSN Logo on products, materials, and promotions creating awareness of their TSN standard implementation
Organizations interested in licensing the TSN logo should download the TSN Licensing Agreement in order to obtain approval for authorization of use.
The TSN Logo
Leveraging the TSN Logo can provide market differentiation within the industry promoting the implementation of IEEE standards over other non-standard TSN implementations. Using the IEEE TSN Logo on your products provides awareness of the implementation of IEEE standards.
Licensing Fees
| Corporation Annual Revenue | Certification Cost |
|---|---|
| Greater than $5 million | $3,950 USD |
| Less than $5 million | $1,950 USD |
What is Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN)?
Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) makes it possible to carry data traffic of time-critical applications over a network shared by various kinds of applications having different Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. TSN leverages time synchronization to provide guaranteed data transport with bounded low latency, low delay variation, and extremely low data loss. By reserving resources for critical traffic, and applying various queuing and shaping techniques, TSN achieves zero congestion loss for critical data traffic. This, in turn, allows TSN to guarantee a worst-case end-to-end latency for critical data.
These features make TSN applicable and economical for various use cases in the digital transformation. TSN can be used in various verticals, e.g., in industrial automation networks being developed for smart factories, in cellular networks, in networks for critical machine-to-machine communication, and for new networking approaches in vehicles including support for autonomous driving.
IEEE 802.1™ is now developing several profiles - AV, Fronthaul, Mobility, Aerospace, and Industrial Automation (Factory of the Future) that will be available in the near future.
What is IEEE 802.1™?
IEEE 802.1 is a working group of the IEEE 802 project of the IEEE Standards Association. It is concerned with:
- 802 LAN / MAN architecture
- internetworking among 802 LANs, MANs and wide area networks
- 802 Link Security
- 802 overall network management
- protocol layers above the MAC and LLC layers
- LAN/MAN bridging and management. Covers management and the lower sub-layers of OSI Layer 2.
Why implement IEEE 802.1 standards?
- Enhanced Security: IEEE 802.1X provides robust user and device authentication for both wired and wireless networks. By controlling and restricting access, it adds an extra layer of security.
- Real-Time Networking: IEEE 802.1CM leverages Ethernet technology to deliver real-time network functions. It meets 5G requirements in terms of scale, reliability, flexibility, and synchronization, making it ideal for standardized packet-based fronthaul technology.
- Simplified Management: IEEE 802.1 standards cover LAN/MAN architecture, internetworking, link security, and overall network management. They streamline management tasks and ensure efficient communication across different network segments.
- Implementing these standards can lead to a more secure, efficient, and manageable network infrastructure.
