AllGo and Molex Collaborate to Enable Infotainment for Emerging Automotive Ethernet Networks
New solution allows remote access of a Media Hub over Ethernet
LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/AllGo?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#AllGolt;/agt;–AllGo, a leading Automotive software provider for Media, Connectivity,
Driver Monitoring, and Molex, a leading global manufacturer of connected
mobility solutions, have teamed up on development of an Infotainment
Head unit solution to remotely access devices connected to a Media Hub
through an Ethernet Gateway.
With ethernet emerging as the network of choice and in-car connectivity
architectures evolving to a zone-based architecture, there is a need for
accessing peripherals connected to a zonal gateway remotely over
ethernet.
“As automotive OEMs work to develop cars of the future, our
collaboration with AllGo helps deliver the versatile infotainment
drivers and passengers want, including sophisticated graphic displays
and USB connectivity with streaming content,” said Dave Atkinson,
director of business development for connected mobility solutions,
Molex. “With high throughput and low latency, the customizable and
scalable Molex OTG Hubs and Media Modules deliver best-in-class hardware
and software for autonomous vehicles.”
“We are pleased to offer solutions that solve the media content access
challenges arising out of distributed high speed in-vehicle
connectivity,” said K. Srinivasan, CEO of AllGo. “Our work with Molex
for the development of media access solutions over high speed Ethernet
networks enables us to solve media connectivity challenges of connected
and autonomous vehicles.”
The demonstration setup consists of a High-speed Molex Ethernet Gateway
to which a Media Hub, enabled with AllGo OTGHub Technology, is
connected. The Media Hub has USB ports and is Wireless enabled, to
support Wired and Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto technologies. A Head
unit running Android is connected to the Gateway over Ethernet.
The demonstration showcases high throughput and low latency demanding
CarPlay and Android auto working remotely, using AllGo’s USB over
Ethernet technology. An iPhone or Android phone connected to the Media
Hub over USB or Wi-Fi shall be remotely accessed by the Head unit to do
CarPlay or Android auto, without compromising on the throughput and
latency requirements.
This technology will be demonstrated at CES 2019 from January 8 – 11,
2019 at AllGo Westgate Hospitality Suite #473, Tech East. Write to contact@allgosystems.com
