About OPEN Alliance

The OPEN Alliance (One-Pair Ether-Net) Inc. is a non-profit, open industry alliance of mainly automotive industry and technology providers collaborating to encourage wide scale adoption of Ethernet-based networks as the standard in networking applications.

History

Founded in 2011, OPEN Alliance emerged with the idea of collaboration in the blossoming automotive Ethernet landscape. There was a gap in the industry that propelled its formation: a transparent space, governed by clear rules, for anyone to join and participate. Knowledge exchange, market development, and industrialization of the technology were its pillars. But the true cornerstone was the desire to break free from single-company specifications. OPEN Alliance envisioned a world where access to these crucial specifications wouldn’t depend on favoritism or opaque promises, but on an open, fair, and universally accessible framework. By fostering transparent peer review and non-discriminatory access, OPEN Alliance aimed to pave the way for a collaborative future where innovation in Ethernet could truly thrive.

Vision

We enable wide scale adoption of Ethernet-based connectivity.

Mission

Dedicated to standardizing automotive Ethernet technology, empowering the industry to address critical gaps, innovate, and thrive in an interconnected world.

Values
