Multimedia networks are the key to providing a range of new entertainment and information services in vehicles. The use of Plastic Optical Fibres as a transmission medium offers freedom from EMC constraints in cable routing and the elimination of short circuits and ground loops. Multimedia networks enable entertainment and information devices to be integrated into a single system with a unified user interface. Acting as a high-bandwidth backbone, they can also support the linking of other vehicle networks and the use of centralised diagnosis. Whilst some multimedia networks have sufficient capacity to support telematic and audio applications, others are becoming available with the capacity to support video transmission in the car. Finally, the use of standardised protocols and interfaces is the key to the rapid introduction of multimedia networks and the entertainment and information services that they bring.
