High-Speed Optical Connectivity Powers Deep Fusion EEA

Deep Fusion EEA (Electronic/Electrical Architecture) is Autolink's next-generation unified computing and communication platform designed for future intelligent vehicles. The architecture integrates centralized computing, zonal control, and a high-bandwidth optical backbone into a single system, enabling millisecond-level coordination across perception, decision-making, and vehicle control.

Within the Deep Fusion EEA framework, the in-vehicle optical communication solution is provided by ReinOCS, demonstrating advanced system-level capabilities:

  • Full-scenario adaptability
    Supports lossless 8K@60Hz ultra-high-definition video transmission, meeting the data exchange requirements of multi-display intelligent cockpits and high-resolution autonomous driving sensors such as LiDAR and cameras. Transmission distances of up to 100 meters enable connectivity across multiple vehicle zones.
  • Extreme environmental robustness
    Designed with lightweight construction and strong electromagnetic interference (EMI) immunity, the system operates reliably across automotive-grade temperature ranges from –40°C to 85°C, addressing signal attenuation challenges common in traditional copper-based transmission under complex vehicle environments.
  • Specialized optical and mechanical designs
    Both the modules and cabling are engineered to withstand high-acceleration shocks and continuous full-spectrum vibration in automotive environments, fully meeting the reliability standards for in-vehicle harnesses and interconnects. Even under demanding operating conditions—such as frequent vehicle start-stop cycles and rough road surfaces—the solution ensures stable, continuous data transmission.
  •  Architecture-level scalability
    Featuring a modular interface design, the optical communication system seamlessly supports future multi-sensor fusion requirements for higher levels of automated driving (L4 and above). This enables OEMs to achieve "hardware-upgradable, software-evolvable" architectures while significantly reducing long-term E/E system upgrade costs.
  • ReinOCS CTO Zheng Xuezhe commented,
    "CES, as a global barometer of technological innovation, is the ideal stage for presenting our automotive optical transmission system. Unlike a single module product, this system-level solution is designed for deep integration with vehicle electronic architectures. By empowering the industry at the foundational layer of optoelectronics, we aim to remove the critical data-transmission bottleneck that limits higher-level vehicle intelligence."

    Strategic Partnership to Advance Optical-Electrical Convergence

    Under the agreement, Autolink and ReinOCS will collaborate across three key areas: joint development of next-generation in-vehicle optical transmission protocols to further improve bandwidth and energy efficiency; delivery of integrated solutions combining optical connectivity, intelligent cockpit systems, and automated driving platforms; and joint efforts to advance industry standards for automotive optical communication, accelerating large-scale adoption across the sector.

    Autolink Founder and Chairman Yang Hongze said,
    "As vehicles evolve toward higher sensor density, greater computing power, and full-scenario intelligence, data transmission is becoming a defining factor in E/E system design. Through this partnership, we aim to tightly align advanced optical technologies with real-world automotive applications, accelerating the transition from engineering validation to scalable production. Together, we look to build a safer, more efficient, and more extensible foundation for the next generation of intelligent vehicles."

    Industry Impact

    As intelligent vehicles continue to move toward centralized architectures with exponential data growth, traditional copper-based networks are increasingly constrained. The optical-electrical integrated E/E approach jointly advanced by Autolink and ReinOCS addresses this challenge at the system level, supporting the industry's transition from distributed electronics to centralized, software-defined vehicle platforms. Multiple OEM representatives at CES noted that such architectures could significantly shorten development cycles and lower deployment costs for advanced intelligent vehicles, positioning optical connectivity as a key enabler over the next three to five years.
