MOST meeting high quality at low cost

MOST Cooperation Presents Success Story at 13th International Conference "Electronics in Vehicles" in Baden-Baden

The MOST Cooperation, the organization through which the leading automotive multimedia network Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) is standardized, will be showing its latest achievements and roadmap at the 13th International Conference "Electronics in Vehicles" on October 10th and 11th, 2007, in Baden-Baden, Germany. These achievements include advances in robustness and quality, through a compliance verification process; significant cost reductions since the technologies introduction; and technical achievements with faster data rates, new physical layers, and enhanced video distribution. The MOST Cooperation will also show where it is heading to by presenting the next generation of MOST, MOST150, with a variety of new features.

MOST Technology has now been implemented in over 45 vehicle models various carmakers. It continues its expansion with the first Asian vehicle models expected soon. Acceptance has been very fast, with many manufacturers implementing the technology throughout their product lines within two or three vehicle design cycles.

"The Congress is an ideal venue to present to the automotive public the latest designs and developments of the MOST Cooperation and its members", states Dr. Wolfgang Bott, Technical Coordinator of the MOST Cooperation. "We will have live demonstrations of MOST networks running at 50 Mbps over Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) wires and the new MOST 150 speed grade running at 150 Mbps over optical fiber. The Cooperation is hard at work to bring out the next generation MOST Specification that will enable applications such as multiple HD video streams, real-time video, DTCP content protection, and the transparent transport of Ethernet data traffic. Other highlights include an established compliance test process that enhances robustness and quality as it ensures devices adhere to the MOST specifications, and optimizations in the network management and fault diagnosis functions. The demonstrations will be held in booth 25a and in room 2 and will highlight the success of our efforts to reduce cost and increasing quality by concentrating on compliance processes while in parallel advancing the technology to meet the need of tomorrow's infotainment systems."

About the MOST Cooperation
The MOST Cooperation is the organization through which MOST Technology is standardized and refined so that it continues to stay abreast of the latest industry requirements. Today it consists of 15 international carmakers and more than 70 key component suppliers. They have joined together to work with the MOST Technology and to contribute to its innovation. At first a specification for infotainment data transfer in cars, the network is now also implemented in consumer electronics applications. The MOST Cooperation is prepared to embrace efforts to further develop and standardize the technology for other industries and to establish the corresponding work structures. The MOST Cooperation was founded in 1998 by BMW, DaimlerChrysler, Harman Becker and OASIS SiliconSystems (now part of SMSC). Audi joined its Steering Committee in 2000.
