TE Automotive /// Driving the Data-Fueled Future Page 5 From the point at which information is digitized to the point at which it is received, TE works in collaboration with its customers to develop and deliver tailored solutions to meet their data connectivity requirements. We support our customers with a comprehensive product portfolio, technical design expertise and know-how, manufactur- ing and application tooling prowess, and leveraging the power of TE – our depth and breadth of industries and markets served by our engineers, scientists, and global presence. Product Portfolio. As a global leader in connectivity solutions, we collaborate with our customers and other industry technology leaders to create engineered solu- tions that address these physical and wireless automotive connectivity challenges of the data-fueled future. Based on all major media (differential, coaxial and optical) and transmission technologies, our comprehensive portfolio of powerful data connectivity solutions offers high-speed data interconnection products developed to meet the increasing performance demands of automotive vehicle- to-world, in-vehicle and vehicle-to-occupant connections. We provide simulation models for our components to cal- culate the channel performance based on link require- ments while supporting miniaturized and modular designs which enable optimum integration into both legacy and next-generation architectures. For example, TE's minia- turized coaxial connector system (MATE-AX) can reduce connector footprint on a PCB by up to 75% compared to a traditional FAKRA component while offering higher bandwidth. TE's miniaturized automotive ethernet connector system (MATEnet) addresses the need for efficient cabling solu- tions for physical link technologies that can be seamlessly integrated into existing ECU interfaces in more complex high-speed data networking architectures. Addition- ally, our portfolio of antennas and wireless connectivity technologies, offer external communication solutions for broadcast, cellular and next generation telematics and V2X services. Here, we are also developing integrated solutions that combine antennas and transceivers to reduce complexity and space and performance. Our portfolio achieves high channel performance aligned with multiple chip manufacturer physical layer specifica- tions. This includes our new solution for multi-gigabit eth- ernet connectors which support speeds up to 10 Gbps and, with other protocols, in excess of 20Gbps addressing the needs of next-generation safety and autonomous driving applications. Moreover, TE's data connectivity products have been designed specifically to meet the requirements of harsh automotive environments and are compliant with standards such as LV214 and USCAR, meeting the most stringent of environmental requirements. They are also tested against the most stringent specifications for signal integrity and electromagnetic compatibility, such as the One-Pair Ethernet (OPEN) Alliance Technical Committee. Technical design expertise and know-how. Drawing upon more than 75 years of physical connection systems exper- tise, TE Connectivity's team of engineers, contact physi- cists, and material scientists work closely with customers to develop optimized solutions to ever-increasing con- nectivity demands and challenges. With design centers around the world, all the simulation, modeling, prototyp- ing, and testing can be done close to where our customers are located. Additional technical capability includes: RF design and EMC expertise; design, manufacturing, and application tooling expertise in miniaturized and compli- ant interconnect technology enabling small, robust pack- aging; seamless electronics integration; tailored antenna systems for optimized signal reception and transmission; robust connector interfaces for in-vehicle data transmis- sion; PHY-to-PHY channel analysis, including component limit specifications and complete link performance. Depth and breadth of industries served and global pres- ence. TE Connectivity serves a vast array of customers representing diverse industries and markets including consumer electronics, aerospace and defense, industrial, appliances, transportation, to name a few. By linking and leveraging across our company, our automotive-focused engineers can draw upon the knowledge and experience of colleagues across the globe to solve automotive indus- try challenges. We participate in various standards com- mittees and industry consortia, enabling us to address
