Scaling Adoption of TSN across Markets: Success Stories, Challenges and new Opportunities

by Dave Cavalcanti | Intel Corporation | Avnu Alliance

Abstract

This Avnu Alliance presentation covers advances in TSN capabilities, testing and adoption in various markets. From ProAV to Automotive, Industrial and Aerospace, it provides the perspective of those developing products supporting TSN capabilities and driving adoption through real examples of successful deployments. It will discuss advances, challenges and new opportunities in TSN component and profile-specific tests covering Industrial, Automotive and Aerospace profiles.

The Speaker

Dave Cavalcanti is a Principal Engineer at Intel Corporation with extensive experience in distributed networked systems, wireless connectivity, industry standards and ecosystems.
