ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Belden Inc., a global leader in signal transmission solutions for mission-critical applications, has recently joined a new industrial market group through its membership with AVnu Alliance, the industry consortium driving open standards deterministic networking through certification.
AVnu Alliance is adding support for the industrial control market through a new industrial-specific market segment that includes Belden, as well as other leaders in the space. Together, these industrial, automation and IT infrastructure companies will be the driving force behind future developments in open standards.
“We have a long history of standards work at Belden because we recognize the immense value it offers our customers,” said Brian Oulton, vice president of strategic initiative marketing for industrial at Belden. “Joining with other leaders in the industrial space through AVnu Alliance’s new group, we hope to continue to bring innovation and awareness to the industrial market when it comes to new and emerging open standards.”
AVnu Alliance’s industrial market segment will develop the foundational elements needed for industrial applications based on the common elements of audio video bridging (AVB) and time sensitive networking (TSN), working to enhance real-time capabilities that meet the needs and embrace the future promise of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies.
