Karlsruhe (Germany) October 19, 2010 - The MOST Cooperation (the organization through which the leading automotive multimedia network Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) is standardized) is welcoming Bang & Olufsen, Molex, Nippon Seiki, Toyoda Gosei and TTTech on board as new member companies. "This inflow to the MOST community reflects the wide-ranging acceptance of MOST Technology," stated Harald Schoepp, member of the MOST Cooperation Steering Committee. "We consider it proof of the excellent design and standardization work of the MOST Cooperation. These latest registrations also add a broad variety of MOST solutions reaching from component manufacturers via Tier1 suppliers up to professional audio solutions." Regional acceptance stretches from Europe to North America and Asia.

Karlsruhe (Germany) - At SAE Convergence on October 19 to 20, 2010, the MOST Cooperation (the organization, through which the leading automotive multimedia network Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) is standardized) will demonstrate that MOST Technology is ready for extended multimedia and information applications in the vehicle. MOST150 now 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 thus completing the five major fields of in-car use cases. During this leading automotive exhibition in Detroit (Michigan, United States), a MOST demonstrator will be showing that MOST supports star, daisy- chain, tree and other topologies as well as different physical layers: plastic optical fibers (POF), COAX based electrical physical layer and unshielded twisted pair (UTP) of copper wires.

Today's MOST 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, the latest MOST150 Technology is ready for implementation, with various car makers already working on first series projects.

MOST Technology is about to exceed 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 prepared to take this essential step beyond infotainment: Recent studies prove that MOST is able to support safety-critical applications. Further optimizations for extended fail-safe operation are being specified within MOST Cooperation. MOST is the network of choice for driver assistance systems.

Homefibre has  extended its product portfolio with a POF indicator helping to identify the optical power of a link during installation. < /b>< /b> The OFT-420 POF Indicator is designed for POF – Plastic optical fiber network quick examination. It is designed to indicate the level of optical power during installation, maintenance and operation in POF networks. Red LEDs indicate the level of optical signal is too low for optical receiver (FAIL) and connection between transmitter and receiver is lost. Green LEDs signalize the level of optical signal is suitable for proper operation, connection between transmitter and receiver can be setup. Input interface is based on universal adaptor designed for 2.2 mm outer diameter POF cables.

This video shows the simple operating mode of the OFT-420-POF Indicator:

Installer and Dealer can get the power indicator as a promotion gift by purchasing one of the attached POF Network Kits.

Karlsruhe (Germany) September 27, 2010 - The MOST Cooperation is pleased to announce the latest achievements of MOST Technology, with fast-growing acceptance of this de-facto automotive network standard by key carmakers worldwide. The number of vehicle models relying on the MOST infotainment backbone has now hit the one hundred mark, with a total of 100 vehicle models on the road today. This fast implementation growth rate reflects the practical suitability and reliability of MOST. Only three years after the MOST Cooperation was founded in 1998, the first MOST car was introduced in 2001. The following year, 13 more models implemented the MOST infotainment backbone. In October 2007, the leading network technology had found its way into 50 car models, climbing to 68 models in March, 2009. Just one year later there are 50% more models on the road as MOST Technology spreads into the mass market.

Homefibre is a member of the European R&D project ALPHA and results of our work are shown at booth Nr.366 as well as in the FTTX Resource Center.
