Official Member of the OPEN SIG Alliance
The jointly developed OPEN SIG Alliance will address industry requirements for improving in-vehicle safety, comfort and infotainment, while significantly reducing network complexity and cabling costs.
Interest in one pair Ethernet technology has grown dramatically as the automotive industry accelerates its adoption of Ethernet based networks delivering both high-performance bandwidth and the industry's lowest cost cabling solution for Ethernet connectivity over a single pair, unshielded twisted cable. The technology is engineered to meet the stringent in-vehicle requirements of the automotive industry and optimized for multiple in-car applications.
Instrumental in the proliferation of the technology is the establishment of an open standard special interest group. Founding members will initially focus on establishing interoperability requirements, third party testing, certification procedures, and higher data rate specification requirements. The OPEN Alliance plans to expand its membership roster in the coming months to additional automotive suppliers and manufacturers.
Key Goals for the OPEN Alliance:
> Enable wide scale adoption of Ethernet-based automotive connectivity
> Establish industry standard for Ethernet connectivity over single pair, unshielded cable
> Enable migration from closed application to open, scalable Ethernet-based network
