Top-Class Program – Plugfest Included

With over 25 presentations from BMW, Stellantis, Volvo, Bosch, Denso and Cariad, among others, the eighth Automotive Ethernet Congress (June 1-2, 2022 in Munich) will once again offer a top-class program – and for the first time also a plugfest.

Since the first AEC in 2015 (also with BMW hosting), the community, the interest, and activities around Automotive Ethernet have continuously grown; as have the proliferation and adoption of Ethernet in cars. The foundation for this success are the automotive environment suitable physical layer (PHY) technologies. Their number has also increased, supporting different speedgrades and media. 100 Mbps electrical and 1 Gbps electrical and optical Ethernet can be found in series production cars today. First products for 10 Mbps and up to 10 Gbps Automotive Ethernet are being tested for the next generation cars. Standardization projects are ongoing for even higher data rates.

This event honors the importance of PHY technologies by – for the first time in the history of Automotive Ethernet – facilitating a plugfest for 10 Mbps/10BASE-T1S PHYs. Furthermore, the panel discussion is dedicated to the potential of new PHY variants. Naturally, the event additionally covers the complete range of aspects important for Automotive Ethernet like TSN, testing, software, security, architecture, with keynotes from car manufacturers and Tier 1s.

"As the hosts for the Automotive Ethernet Congress 2022, we look forward to welcome the community to Munich once again – with high quality presentations, exciting exhibitions and lively discussions," says Kirsten Matheus (BMW). The detailed event program can be found on the conference website, as well as further information about the event and the registration.
