How Emerging Technologies Are Driving the Inside of Next-Gen Cars
May 31, 2018
The automotive industry is adopting self-driving cars as the next major evolutionary step in vehicular technology. However, improvements need to be made to data buses inside the car to support the additional data needed for a car to operate autonomously. Ethernet and the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) are replacing previous network technologies, allowing for the next generation of autonomous vehicles through faster data rates and lower latency.
Introduction
For the better part of the last...
Driving By Ethernet
February 1, 2018
The race to add more sophisticated and safety-critical electronics into cars is forcing carmakers to revisit the communications systems within increasingly electrified and connected vehicles.
Until very recently, communication between components within a vehicle was simplistic, and communication between vehicles was non-existent. All of that is changing quickly. Rapid and secure communication between more electronics within a car, between cars, and between cars and infrastructure are essential pieces of assisted and autonomous driving.
However, not all of the...
Brainstorm: How To Best Handle The Connected Car's Network Strain
August 8, 2017
With 380 million connected cars projected to be on the road by 2021, how will designers address the increased network strain?
By Bob Noseworthy, Chief Engineer, University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL)
This question presumes a situation I’m not yet convinced will be a reality, principally due to lack of the necessary infrastructure buildout. In a mere four years will we have 380 million “connected cars?” What is a Connected Car? How’s it differentiated from...
Software stack for automotive audio/video certified by AVnu Alliance
June 7, 2016
Excelfore, a company working in connected car platforms, has announced that its Audio Video Bridging/Time Sensitive Networking (AVB/TSN) software stack platform for audio networking as well as video end points has achieved AVnu Certification, becoming the first AVB/TSN software reference module to bear the AVnu-certified logo.
The AVnu Alliance is an industry consortium driving open, standards-based deterministic networking; it grants its certification mark to those devices that have passed all interoperability testing conducted by its third-party testing house, the...

Ethernet industry builds on innovation
February 25, 2015
This year is shaping up to be an active one for Ethernet as the industry builds on innovations that occurred in 2014. The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL), an independent provider of broad-based testing and standards conformance services for the networking industry, stands ready to support the industry with expanded interoperability testing and support for 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet (40G/100G), according to Jeff Lapak, senior manager, Ethernet Technologies, at UNH-IOL. The lab sees considerable interest in 40G...
Whither Ethernet
February 3, 2015
Ethernet is spreading—enemies might say metastasizing—into applications far beyond its original use as a local network for workstations. This spread is pushed forward by three primary factors: Ethernet’s culture of standardization and interoperability, reduced price of components because of economy of scale, and the rapid evolution of foundational signaling technology that culture makes possible. At the same time, Ethernet is being pulled into new applications by increasing computerization and the absence of robust common interconnect standards (Figure 1). This pull...
Ethernet Revs for Connected Cars
January 5, 2015
As you may have already noticed via that pesky “check engine” light, cars today are highly computerized. From monitoring engine temperature to whether your gas cap is open, even the least-expensive, bare-bones car has some sort of computer in it.
