KDPOF on RTVE: Interview with Carlos Pardo about Microelectronics Industry in Spain

KDPOF on RTVE Report “Invest in Spain”

, ,

Spain had approved the Strategic Projects for Economic Recovery and Transformation with an important invest in microchips and technology companies. It is essential because we have in Spain some companies that create technological and electronic components and equipment but depend on Asia for manufacturing since they don’t have the capacity to produce microchips on their own. The project PERTE will invest an important quantity of Euros to help these companies for manufacturing. As Carlos Pardo stated in the interview, it could get an important growth in these small companies and also attract private invest resulting in a general economic growth.

Automotive Ethernet Congress: Automotive Multi-gigabit is Optical

Presentation at Automotive Ethernet Congress: Automotive Multi-gigabit is Optical

, , ,

With new challenges like automated driving and electric power trains, In-Vehicle Network (IVN) requirements are quickly evolving. The IVN has to support use cases such as the vehicle data backbone, smart antennas, ADAS cameras/sensors, displays, and data loggers, which demand higher data bandwidth while maintaining the reliability level required by the automotive industry. When considering a standard technology to support the target use cases, it is clear that the requirements are not all met by any existing communication standard, including the optical 10GBASE-SR. It is thus necessary to define a new IVN standard for multi-gigabit optical communications in the automotive environment.
