KD

Last week, we had the pleasure to be invited to the 3rd Symposium on In-Vehicle Network and Communication Architecture Technologies and Standards #INVCAST2024 in Wuhan, Hubei, China, to talk about our latest technology for #automotive. Together with our partner Hinge Technology, we've presented our #optical in-vehicle connectivity demo from October 30 to 31. It was an honor to speak on the IEEE 802.3cz standard and pre-closing product introduction, as well as the application scenarios and development trends of OEM enterprises for optical fiber at the Symposium forum. The event was held by China Automotive Standardization Research Institute（CASRI) of China Automotive Technology & Research Center (CATARC). 🙏 Special thanks to Hinge Technology for inviting us, sharing your stand and being a great host in #China! #fiberoptics #connectedcar #automateddriving #autonomousvehicles #KD

Tomorrow, we'll be out of the office. Stay tuned about #automotive trends on our website! 👻 We'll be back on Monday, November 4th! #halloween #samhain

“Optical connections are the engineering answer to simpler and cheaper solutions.” Our Marketing Director Oscar Ciordia has been interviewed by Dr. Matthias Laasch for #ATZelektronik about the new IEEE Std 802.3cz implemented in a transceiver for the first time. Thanks to Matthias Laasch, Robert Unseld, and Alexander Heintzel for the great collaboration and support! “The biggest hurdle is the #automotive industry’s reluctance to adopt new technologies, even when the benefits are obvious.” The 802.3cz Ethernet standard defines (multi-)gigabit automotive communications via #optical fibers. It is intended to create components that meet all industry requirements, including data rate, link length, and number of inline connectors. Spanish manufacturer #KD, formerly KDPOF, has now implemented the standard in an advanced #transceiver component. KD is about to bring the product to series production in its own new factory ...

Our CEO Carlos Pardo will give the keynote "The #Automotive Industry Drives a New Approach to #Optical Communications" at the "EPIC Technology Meeting on Microelectronics and Photonics – Two Sides of One Coin" on 11 November at 13:15 in Munich, Germany: https://lnkd.in/dweDhqKG The EPIC - EUROPEAN PHOTONICS INDUSTRY CONSORTIUM organizes the EPIC Microelectronics & Photonics Meeting, which aims to address technology and manufacturing challenges and opportunities in the microelectronics and photonics industries. Key industry actors from both fields will convene to explore how they can collaborate to solve each other’s problems and learn from one another. The meeting will be held in Munich in conjunction with the SEMICON Europa exhibition by SEMI Europe, which represents the semiconductor equipment and materials industry, and is conveniently located near Messe Muenchen. #EPICEvent #photonics #microelectronics #semiconductors

🏆 We're proud to celebrate our CTO Rubén Pérez - Aranda Alonso as a 2024 IEEE SA Awards honoree, recognized for his outstanding contributions to standards development! Rubén is the co-inventor of 10 patents and the primary contributor to the IEEE Std 802.3cz Multi-gigabit Optical Automotive Ethernet standard . He has been honored with the #IEEESAAwards Standards Medallion for his pivotal technical contributions in developing optical Ethernet physical layers and test methods for #automotive applications. "Thanks to the best team at KD working hard alongside me and thanks to all the outstanding individuals contributing to the IEEE Standards Association | IEEE SA," stated Rubén. "With them, I defined #optical physical layer specifications targeted to automotive applications, as well as test methods for non-linear distortion characterization of optical transmitters. I would like to highlight the development of #TDFOM, a metric for assessing the quality of optical transmit signals, and ensuring interoperability of transmitters and receivers." 👏 Congratulations, Rubén! #fiberoptics #connectedcar #autonomousvehicles #photonics #automotiveethernet #adas #driverassist #IEEESAAwards2024

We've teamed up with the Instituto de Microelectrónica de Sevilla IMSE-CNM in the special project of Catedra USECHIP. The USECHIP Chair of the Universidad de Sevilla focuses on strengthening R&D&I, training, dissemination and transfer in the field of #microelectronics design. Project “USECHIP: Chair in Microelectronics at the University of Seville” (reference: TSI-069100-2023-001) funded by the Secretary of State for Telecommunications and Digital Infrastructures within the framework of the “Chip Chairs” Program. Please, don't hesitate to contact us for more information or questions about this program! Send us a DM. #KD #packagingplant #optoelectronics #fiberoptics #automotive #autonomousvehicles #PERTE

"The primary aspiration for KD is to overcome the copper-based networking limitations to support the future software defined vehicles architecture," reported Asif Anwar for TechInsights after meeting with Juan L. Matus and Oscar Ciordia at AutoSens Europe in Barcelona. "... To this end, #KD is emphasizing the flexibility of the automotive glass optical fibre cable, as well as being 100% EMI resistant. As with the Automotive SerDes Alliance (ASA), the #KD7251 transceiver supports asymmetric 10 Gbps downlink and 1 Gbps uplink for camera and other sensors to lower power consumption in the automotive network. Another potential advantage that KD is claiming is that its transceivers as well as the associated cabling and connectors can be lower cost than the comparable copper-based networking solutions ..." 👇 For the full report, please follow the link in the first comment! #automotive #fiberoptics #autonomousvehicles #automotiveethernet #adas #driverassist

Our CTO Rubén Pérez - Aranda Alonso had the honor to speak about the impact and importance of #Deeptech #startups in the development of the business fabric of the regions of Europe - on invitation by Real Sociedad Bascongada de los Amigos del País - Delegación en Corte and Euskal Etxea Madrid. It was a pleasure to exchange ideas at this events with #KOL as Teresa Riesgo, Jaione Ganzarain, David Gonzalez Martin, Andrés GALNARES, Asier Rufino, and Maite Cordón Ucar.
