MIPI Technical Steering Group (TSG) • The TSG serves as the steward and guiding influence for
specification work within the MIPI Alliance.
• TSG defines and maintains the MIPI Technology Roadmap, tracking future work for each specification, and introducing new interfaces/technology into the Roadmap.
• TSG now works with newly formed Marketing Steering Group (MSG), driving coordination across all WGs; and both report to the Board of Directors.

MIPI Roadmap to Tomorrow • Continued focus on mobile terminal interfaces to 5G
• I: Wireless Technology; II. Multimedia
• Increased focus on leveraging MIPI Interfaces for use in mobile-influenced Markets • IOT, Automotive, Industrial
• Examples: • Extended Lengths for longer reach applications
• PHY, RFFE, I3C
• Lower RFFE latency for (Pre)5G wireless • Lower speed Modem interface (VGI) • I3C for touch and control applications
16
Conclusion • Footprint… MIPI is now in every smartphone, and
soon in every phone (i.e. including featurephone ! smartphone)
• Expanding… Rapidly expanding into mobile-influenced markets as mobile SOC manufacturers and OEMs leverage (reuse) their interface IP assets • New “terminals”: Wearables, VR, Drones, Connected Vehicles
• Optimizing… With assistance from new industry members and developers, evolving specs to address specific requirements of the mobile-influenced markets
