Karlsruhe (Germany) August 24, 2010 – 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.

VANCOUVER, BC – June 21, 2010 -- NYCE Networks, a leading provider of innovative Plastic Optical Fiber to Ethernet products, announced today the expansion of its headquarters in Vancouver, BC.

Austin, TX - May 12, 2010 -- Firecomms is pleased to announce that AT&T has acknowledged the company’s participation in a successful proof of concept study of Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) as a connectivity option for its Uverse® IPTV service.

At the latest OFC Conference & Exposition, staff members of AT&T Network Operations presented results of a 2009 POF proof of concept study held in California’s bay area. Due to the on-site evaluations and favorable comments from both U-verse premise technicians and their supervisors, AT&T Network Operations will continue to pursue investigations of OptoLock®-based POF home networks as a viable option for the connectivity of Uverse services.

During a panel session at the recent Broadband Properties 2010 Summit, AT&T Area Manager Robert Michetich discussed the potential benefits of POF connectivity, including its reduction in installation time, immunity to noise, and use of future-proof technology.

A larger proof of concept study by AT&T, which includes a 350-unit MDU and potentially 50 single family homes, is pending. Like the first study, this project will include POF switches, passive wall plates, and media converters, as well as integrated set top boxes, all powered by Firecomms OptoLock technology.

COMOSS Plastic Optical Fiber Evaluation Board Series allows the user to examine a data link over POF and to test the operation of the fiber optic transceivers. Each evaluation board carries the POF transceiver components in a through-hole of OPTOLOCKR connecter. The electrical input and output lines from the transceiver are brought out to SMA connectors. The input accepts an LVDS/CML or PECL data source such as a Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT), Pattern Generator, or other signal source. A full-duplex Step Index POF cable links the optical signal to the second board. The receive side of the transceiver generates LVDS/CMS - compatible differential output data signals. The boards are capable of full-duplex operation. In addition to the data input and output signals, the transmitter side also has a Rex input to control the optical power. For normal operation, this input may be tied to ground. The receiver side also provides a Signal Detect (SD) output. If not required, this output may be left open circuit.

On March 25th, POFTO hosted the "POF Symposium @ NFOEC/OFC 2010" on the show floor. Over a dozen presentations were made over a three hour period on the latest development of POF and its applications. The audience filled up the main seating area and people were standing in the aisles.

Of special interest, was a presentation by AT&T on their experience in wiring four homes in the Northern California area. The objective was to learn how installers would react to POF and what was needed in the way of new equipment and interfaces to make this a viable option for AT&T installation of home wiring.
