Molex have teamed up with BlackBerry to develop a 10 Gbps Ethernet Automotive Networking platform designed to increase data bandwidth in intelligent connected vehicles. Integrating very reliable high-speed data transmission, prioritisation, scalability, and BlackBerry’s advanced embedded security solutions, the new network platform will be officially unveiled this week at the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
“Secure high-bandwidth Ethernet represents the future of in-vehicle and V2X connectivity,” says Eric Scott, advanced technology manager and lead architect at Molex. “The industry-leading 10 Gbps Ethernet Automotive Network supports secure and reliable data transmission between multiple hardware and embedded software systems enabling end-to-end data integration and data prioritisation for intelligent vehicles.”
Based on a future-ready, automotive-grade high-speed gateway, the powerful 10 Gbps Ethernet platform supports legacy and evolving media modules, peripherals, and other embedded software systems. It makes use of BlackBerry technologies including QNX Neutrino SDP 7.0 RTOS which provides high performance and enhanced kernel-level security through an array of features including microkernel architecture, file encryption, adaptive time partitioning, a high-availability framework, anomaly detection, and multi-level policy-based access control; and BlackBerry Certicom’s Managed PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) Service to securely provision, authenticate, and communicate between modules and other vehicle ECUs and peripheral devices connected to the network.
