SMSC's MOST multimedia networking technology has been selected as part of the infotainment system, launched in July 2005, for the 2006 Mercedes-Benz B-Class and M-Class platforms. With these latest launches, MOST is now the standard network for the infotainment systems across the full range of Mercedes-Benz volume platforms. MOST multimedia technology enables the networking of feature-rich infotainment systems in automobiles by providing the means to distribute multimedia entertainment functions among the various control devices around the car.

For example, a CD changer, radio, global positioning system, mobile telephone and DVD player can be established in an efficient ring network and can send crisp, static-free audio signals digitally to the amplifier by using the MOST network.

SMSC's Automotive Infotainment Systems (AIS) group, formed as a result of SMSC's acquisition of Oasis SiliconSystems, is a supplier to nearly every major European automaker for MOST-based infotainment semiconductor solutions, including Audi, BMW, Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, PSA, Saab and Volvo.

Oasis is a founding member of the MOST Co-operation, a co-operative of automakers, automotive systems architects and manufacturers and key components suppliers working to establish and refine a common standard for the evolving requirements of automotive multimedia networking.
