A MOST engineer works with the following:
A MOST network replaces upwards of 250 m (820 ft) of copper cable with
a single, lightweight, plastic fiber-optic cable capable of routing
audio, video, communications, and control signals simultaneously
throughout the car. It enables automakers to provide sophisticated
onboard multimedia systems at far less cost and with many more
capabilities than possible with conventional approaches. It also has
tremendous bandwidth capabilities, enabling transmission of 15
channels of uncompressed CD audio, up to 15 MPEG-1 audio/video
channels, or several high-quality MPEG-2 audio/video channels.
