BMW, Bosch, Broadcom, Continental, General Motors, Hyundai Motor Co., Marvell, NXP Semiconductors, Renesas, Toyota Motor Corp., Volkswagen, and Volvo Cars recently announced the incorporation of the OPEN Alliance SIG.

Since inception in 2011, OPEN Alliance SIG has been instrumental in wide scale adoption of automotive Ethernet for in vehicle networking and connectivity applications. It established the very first open automotive Ethernet standard (BroadR-Reach) technology and has released over 35 standards to date. The standards are now referenced by OEMs and Tier-1s as part of their requirements. Further, OPEN Alliance maintains close ties with other industry standard bodies like IEEE and ISO to optimally proliferate automotive Ethernet.

With its incorporation and newly elected Chair Everett Collins (Volkswagen) and Secretary and Treasurer Tim Lau (Marvell), OPEN Alliance will be membership driven to support forward momentum and enable pieces critical to the growth of Ethernet in the automotive market.

"As a founding member of the OPEN Alliance and a key contributor to the development and proliferation of BroadR-Reach technology in cars, Broadcom has played a pivotal role in driving the adoption of automotive Ethernet standards with more than 200 million ports shipped," said Dr. Ali Abaye, senior director of marketing for the Physical Layer Products Division at Broadcom. "As we embark upon our second decade of expanding the automotive Ethernet standards and broadening our industry leading automotive Ethernet portfolio, we are excited about the incorporation of the Open Alliance and continued collaboration with the automotive ecosystem partners in advancing the development of next generation PHYs, switches and MCUs to meet the networking needs of tomorrow's cars."
