(Business News, 13 Mar 2008 )
The members of the MOST Cooperation got together in Frankfurt (Germany) on March 11th, 2008, and held their tenth annual All Members Meeting. The international members of this organization, through which the leading automotive multimedia network Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) is standardized, included the 16 leading carmakers and 78 of their premier suppliers. Said Dr. Christian Thiel, Administrator of the MOST Cooperation, "Within only 10 years MOST has been accepted as the de-facto standard for multimedia and infotainment networking in the automotive industry being implemented in 55 different car models worldwide, including the first Asian models from Toyota and Hyundai/Kia. Already - only one decade after the first sketch of the MOST ring structure - the third generation of the infotainment backbone with faster data rates of 150 Mbps is being standardized and robustness, quality and efficiency have been optimized."
At the All Members Meeting the MOST Cooperation's Steering Committee presented a report of the current status of the technology followed by an outlook and roadmap for 2008.
