Keeping Pace with In-Vehicle Data Speed

Higher speed and bandwidth for in-vehicle networks, switches, and connections that carry data demand new development and testing solutions. Experts from Keysight Technologies explain.

Next-generation advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) require cameras and radars with increasingly high resolution. That means more speed and higher bandwidth for networks, switches and the connections that carry the data. Date rates greater than 1 Gbps over existing cabling infrastructures, with lower latency networking, will play a critical role in addressing time-sensitive and complex automotive technologies to come.

High-bandwidth technologies also are important for keeping weight down to maximize fuel (or battery) efficiency. Many of these requirements can be met by automotive Ethernet with a bandwidth of up to 10 Gbps. But with some cameras requiring up to 3,500 Mbps, we must also consider another technology to move that data around.
