Time Critical Networks paves the road for industrial Ethernet to reach new markets and optimizing network lifecycle processes

TCN is a high-tech Swedish startup located in the heart of Gothenburg’s innovation center at Lindholmen Science Park

Simulate standard Ethernet network with determinism in mind (time-critical demands) - That's Model-Based Design

Welcome

Ensures Ethernet in real-time systems

Switched Ethernet for time-dependant applications

Build low-cost deterministic Ethernet systems

TCN customers can with this unique model-based design software guarantee Quality of Service close to 100% for the most valuable software applications in the network. For the first time, the Ethernet users can enjoy all the benefits of *Regular COTS switched Ethernet systems without compromising on data delivery reliability.

Time Critical Networks was formed 2008 and is sprung from years of research within the field of schedulability analysis and real-time analysis. Time Critical Networks has developed a software based on a unique patent-pending technology enabling determinism to *Regular COTS Ethernet in latency, packet variation delay (jitter) and memory buffer usage, i.e. no packet drops.

*Definition of Regular COTS Ethernet:

- Based on Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Ethernet hardware
- Uses standard software stacks (IEEE802.3)
- Uses only hardware features that are supported by all Ethernet switches.
