Automotive Ethernet

Connectivity, Big Data und autonomes Fahren fordern die Möglichkeit große Datenmengen in fahrzeuginternen Kommunikationsnetzwerken übertragen zu können.

Mit Automotive Ethernet hat man eine Möglichkeit gefunden eine bekannte und bewährte Technologie des Consumer-Electronics-Bereiches für die Automotive-Branche zu adaptieren. Das Ethernet bietet dabei eine hohe Bandbreite bei gleichzeitig geringen Kosten trotz hoher Flexibilität. Neben der Anbindung von hochauflösenden Bildsensoren und Radars, wird Ethernet als Backbone-Verbindung zwischen Hochleistungsrechnern innerhalb des Fahrzeugs verwendet.

Connectivity, big data and autonomous driving require the ability to transmit large amounts of data in in-vehicle communication networks.

Automotive Ethernet offers the possibility to adapt a well-known and proven technology of the consumer electronics sector for the automotive industry. Ethernet offers high bandwidth and flexibility at low cost. In addition to the connection of high-resolution image sensors and radars, Ethernet is used as a backbone connection between high-performance computers within the vehicle.

The product spectrum of GÖPEL electronic ranges from powerful automotive Ethernet controllers with a variety of onboard protocols and onboard functionalities to multibus controllers and simple media converters, which only convert the physical layer between conventional Ethernet and automotive Ethernet.
