KD will showcase its new technology at EIP@ATD, one of the industry’s leading events

2025-10-01

The latest developments from KD will be available on 15 and 16 October at the IEEE SA Ethernet & IP @ Automotive Technology Day 2025 (E&IP@ATD). This event, which will take place at MEETT Toulouse Exhibition & Convention Centre (Aussonne, France), is one of the premier events for automobile manufacturers, suppliers, semiconductor vendors, tool providers, engineers, scientists, educators and the media to share groundbreaking ideas along with implementation strategies and applications related to Automotive Ethernet Systems. Every year, the event attracts hundreds of participants, and this year more than 30 companies have already confirmed their attendance (including sponsors and exhibitors).

At booth 31, our experts Óscar Ciordia (Sales and Marketing Director), Juan Luis Matus (CSM), Pablo Blázquez (BDM) and Luis Medina (FAE) will show the attendees our latest innovations. Among these innovations will be the demo of the first 802.3cz Camera, LI-VENUS-ISX031-BASE-AU from Leopard Imaging, which is based on our 10GBASE-AU KD7251 optical transceiver, which uses CSI-2 over optical Ethernet and communicates data with a link of up to 40 meters. The camera includes a hybrid cable and connector system designed and development by Corning Incorporated.

The KD7251 is the first transceiver that is compliant with the IEEE Std 802.3cz standard specification for multigigabit glass optical fiber (GOF) automotive Ethernet. It implements the nGBASE-AU physical layers in a single-chip solution, supporting 10, 5, 2.5 Gb/s. In addition, it includes bridging functionalities to enable the connectivity of sensors, displays, and processors in the vehicle.

We look forward to seeing you at booth 31 of E&IP@ATD to show you the next level of automotive connectivity!
