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.
At the recent VECS 2022 – Vehicle Electronics & Connected Services – International Trade Show from May 17 to 18, 2022 in Gothenburg, Sweden, KDPOF has celebrates the in-vehicle network standardization progress reaching the IEEE 802.3 Working Group Ballot stage. “We are happy that the IEEE 802.3cz automotive optical multi-gigabit technically complete standard draft has entered the Working Group ballot stage,” stated Carlos Pardo, KDPOF CEO and active participant in the IEEE 802.3 working group.
