Car Connectivity based on Automotive Ethernet MATEnet interconnection system provides bandwidth, flexibility and reliability Page 7 Car Connectivity based on Automotive Ethernet MATEnet interconnection system provides bandwidth, flexibility and reliability TE AUTOMOTIVE /// White Paper | Car Connectivity based on Automotive Ethernet 3 | INTERMEDIATE CONCLUSION – DATA AND CONNECTIVITY In the future, safer, greener and more comfortable driving will strongly rely on connectivity. The number of interconnections in the car will go up and the amount of transmitted data will also increase. Many of these data will originate within the vehicle (e.g. in sensors and ECUs), some will come from the air inter- face (e.g. dynamic map data, software patches, downloads etc.) and will have to be distributed in the car from an entry gateway. Among this growing data traffic there will be a progressively big share of large data packages which require high bandwidth. Connectivity will be at the core of new functions and capabilities which include autonomous driving and electrification but also a new level of function servitization through new backend-based services, e.g. intelligent traffic solutions, predictive lighting functions and many more. To utilize the present and future wealth of data, the in-vehicle networking needs to be fast with high bandwidth. It needs to be reliable, robust, affordable, and easy to install. Considering the relevance of data flows in the car, an interconnection technology that meets this list of requirements is a true enabler and will become a regular feature of the new value chain. 4 | THE MATENET INTERCONNECTION SYSTEM TE Connectivity's MATEnet interconnection system is a proactive answer to today's and tomorrow's requirements of vehicle connectivity. MATEnet was specifically developed for IEEE Automotive Ethernet networking. It relies on automotive-grade, miniaturized, robust and proven interconnection technology Fig. 2: 1000BASE-T1 (1 Gbps ) link performance proven with 15 m of UTP wire with jacket and four inline MATEnet connectors
