| 12 | Proven Automotive Engineering Expertise The groundwork has been laid for continued growth in vehicle connectivity. Rugged, high-speed, in-vehicle data networks are all vital to achieving the seamless, connected, feature-rich automotive future consumers are demanding, whether in the connected and semi-autonomous vehicles on the road today—or the autonomous vehicles that will soon be a common sight on the road. These high-speed automotive solutions demand a level of expertise and engineering that exceeds many other applications. Much of the design complexity comes from the push to achieve better performance in smaller footprint connectors, cable assemblies and modules. Ethernet has ramped up for in-vehicle designs, as a proven technology that's flexible, scalable, and built for bandwidth, but only if bottlenecks can be effectively overcome. Consistently and reliably achieving speed performance goals can only be possible by addressing electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, attenuation, return loss, mode conversion, crosstalk, impedance, and other issues that can impact signal transmission. Molex specializes in packaging increasingly higher bandwidth into ever-tighter spaces. For over two decades, the company has pioneered switches, gateways, and other high-speed, high-bandwidth solutions and thermal management strategies for high-density networking applications in data-intensive supercomputing, hyper scale and enterprise datacenters and telecommunications. From conceptualization to simulation and validation, our state-of- the-art high-speed signal integrity testing labs enable Molex to design a customer's solution to perform in its intended environment. By analyzing discrete components and end- to-end systems, we can recommend better solutions, routing and layouts to optimize density and airflow, thereby improving performance. High-speed production testing and SI analysis monitors performance, reduces design cycles and accelerates time to market. An industry leader, Molex brings a deep understanding of rigorous automotive standards combined with unparalleled expertise in interconnects, sensors, data networks and gateways, and antenna technologies to accelerate success for automakers in the burgeoning connected and autonomous vehicle industry.
