Gateways - powerful data transmitters

The electronics networking within the car has gained enormous significance along with growing functional diversity, especially in the field of Body Electronics. The increasing complexity of the total system has resulted in an immense rise in generated data. A powerful data network is absolutely necessary in order to respond to these growing demands.

The heart of this network, as in computer technology, is the data router, also called network gateway. Its primary task is to route the data to the electronic control devices, then forward the data appropriately and have it ready in cycles. Functions of system monitoring and diagnosis are added as well. In this field Continental Automotive Systems can rely on its long years of experience in series production and continues to develop  innovative technologies for the future.
