MOST® Forum 2010: MOST Cooperation Demonstrates Expanding Areas of Automotive Use Cases
Karlsruhe (Germany) February 18, 2010 – Exhibiting at the MOST
Forum 2010 on 23 March 2010 in Frankfurt, Germany, the MOST
Cooperation will focus on the broadening variety of applications
supported by the MOST150 network. Themed "MOST150 Does It", the demonstrations
by the organization, through which the leading automotive multimedia
network Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) is standardized, will
visualize the five major fields of in-car use cases. "MOST150 meets
the requirements not only for the traditional areas of entertainment
and information, but also for the new domains of mobile connectivity,
connected services, and driver assistance," stated Dr. Christian Thiel,
MOST Cooperation Administrator. "MOST150 offers the technology and the
audio/video capability for next generation automotive infotainment features
and devices such as Head Units, Rear Seat Entertainment, amplifiers,
TV-tuners and video displays. In addition, it is ready for new features
like Internet access devices, iPods, cameras, video processing units,
and many more. At present, this latest MOST150 Technology is ready for
implementation, with various car makers already working on first series
projects."
Exceeding the Limits of Infotainment
In current and future vehicles, driver assistance functions are starting
to complete and extend the feature set of traditional infotainment systems.
Along with information features such as navigation systems, traffic
information, and function warnings, the number of vehicles with driver
assistance features like camera systems, distance controls, or lane
departure warnings will be rapidly increasing. With MOST150, automotive
network technology is ready to take this essential step beyond infotainment:
Necessary improvements are being investigated, and recent studies prove
that MOST is able to support safety-critical applications and may be
available as the future network for driver assistance systems. An in-depth
insight will be disclosed during the MOST Forum conference presentations
(www.mostforum.com).

About MOST Technology
MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) is a multimedia networking technology
optimized for but not restricted to use in cars. It enables transport
of high quality of service audio and video together with packet data and
real-time control over a single transmission medium. MOST offers transmission
over Plastic Optical Fiber and Unshielded Twisted Pair copper physical
layers under automotive conditions. MOST to date is used in 90 car
models and represents 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 60 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 as core partners form its Steering
Committee. For more information see www.mostcooperation.com.
