Today's MOST is Meeting Tomorrow's Needs
The MOST Cooperation invited its members in Frankfurt (Germany) on March 31, 2009, for their eleventh annual All Members Meeting themed "MOST - Meeting Tomorrow's Needs". At the All Members Meeting the MOST Cooperation's Steering Committee presented a report of the current status of the technology followed by an outlook and roadmap for 2009. Individual members then reported on the success stories involved in making MOST systems a reality. Future infotainment aspects include the transfer of Blu-ray data over MOST and the digital marketplace idea offered by Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem (DECE). A variety of car manufacturers and automotive suppliers also showcased their latest products and designs during the accompanying exhibition, including the new Mercedes E-Class and BMW 7 Series. Both cars already represent the 2nd generation of the respective models using the MOST Technology.
In 2009, the Cooperation will support the MOST technical education by offering complimentary MOST basics trainings worldwide and endorsing the MOST Forum 2010 which will be held on March 23, 2010, in Frankfurt.
