VECS: KDPOF Celebrated Proposed IEEE Optical Multi-gigabit Automotive Standard Achieving Milestone

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.

 

The 802.3cz standard draft for the automotive industry specifies speeds starting at 2.5 Gb/s and going up to 50 Gb/s. The 802.3 Task Force includes numerous individuals affiliated with key carmakers, such as PSA, Toyota, BMW, Ford, GM, and Volvo; Tier 1 suppliers; and components suppliers. These industry leaders have been working on an optical automotive multi-gigabit system that will fulfill the needs of future connected and automated vehicles. “We are very thankful and positive about the strong support from the industry,” added Pardo.
