Phoenix International's® NETLab is a communications NETwork Laboratory. Phoenix engineers use the lab to demonstrate and experiment with vehicle communications networks and protocols. The lab is also used to test the compliance of electronic control units (ECUs) to network protocols such as SAE J1939. From the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the J1939® protocol deals primarily with on-highway and construction vehicles. These documents are also synchronized with the worldwide ISO agricultural standard, ISO 11783®, and the new Marine industry standard, NMEA 2000®. Electronic communication networks that conform to these standards are found on mobile vehicles operating under adverse conditions in industries such as on-highway, agricultural, heavy construction, industrial control, material handling, and marine as well as many others.
