MOST Cooperation At Convergence Booth 913

MOST Cooperation presents MOST50 and MOST150 for implementation in tomorrow's car models

Karlsruhe (Germany) 20th August 2008 – The MOST Cooperation – the organization through which the leading automotive multimedia network Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) is standardized – will be exhibiting at the Society of Automotive Engineering's (SAE) Convergence show in Detroit, Michigan, USA. MOST50 and MOST150 demonstrations will be shown at booth 913 on October 20 to 22, 2008, in the Cobo Center. MOST50 is already on the road and MOST150 is already making its way into future vehicles.
The most significant feature of MOST50 is that it allows electrical implementations instead of using plastic optical fiber (POF). The "MOST Specification of Electrical Physical Layer 1V1" is a further key specification the Cooperation offers its partners and members. It enables data transmission over an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) of copper wires while meeting stringent automotive electromagnetic compatibility requirements. The MOST50 Technology has been in production at a major Japanese car maker since 2007.
In addition to higher bandwidth, MOST150 features an isochronous transport mechanism to support extensive video applications, as well as an Ethernet channel for efficient seamless transport of IP-based packet data. Thus, MOST150 provides the automotive-ready physical layer for Ethernet in the car.

About MOST Technology
MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) is a multimedia networking technology optimized for use in cars and other applications. It enables the transport of high Quality of Service audio and video together with packet data and real-time control over a single transmission medium. MOST can use plastic optical fiber or electrical unshielded or shielded twisted pair wire physical layers, that meet automotive environmental requirements. Today MOST is used in over 60 car models as the communication backbone for their information and entertainment equipment.

About 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 16 international carmakers and more than 75 key component suppliers. They have joined together to work with the MOST Technology and to contribute to its innovation. 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 to standardize MOST Technology as a global standard for multimedia networking. Audi, BMW, Daimler, Harman/Becker and SMSC are its core partners and constitute its Steering Committee. For more information see http://www.mostcooperation.com.
