Case Study: Top Global Car Manufacturing Company achieves 100% 100BASE‑T1 Rx compliance and shortens test development by two weeks with Keysight’s E6962A Automotive Ethernet Rx Compliance solution

Car Manufacturer Speeds Ahead with Automotive Ethernet Compliance Solution

Top Global Car Manufacturing Company needed a fast, lightweight in-vehicle network to support AI, OTA updates and data-heavy ADAS features and selected the Automotive Ethernet standard for its new 100BASE-T1 platform. Faced with tight timelines (targeting a sub‑18‑month design cycle) and the need to validate receiver (Rx) compliance to IEEE 802.3bw-2015 — including a required bit error rate test (BERT) their chipset vendor did not provide — the automaker turned to Keysight and its E6962A Automotive Ethernet Rx Compliance solution for test and measurement support.

Keysight delivered the E6962A solution (PXIe hardware plus E6962 software) to automatically generate test patterns, run Rx BERTs and report pass/fail results, enabling true BERT per the UNH-IOL PMA test suite and full physical-layer electrical receiver coverage per BroadR-Reach V3.2. Using Keysight’s solution the car maker achieved 100% physical-layer Rx test coverage against the standard, kept the project on schedule and cut initial test development time by two weeks.
