Acconeer & Gapwaves

Exciting times ahead as we join forces with Gapwaves to bring the next level of safety to every occupant of the car.

The project focuses on developing innovative solutions to expand the field of view, increase angular and range resolution, and achieve seamless integration of the technology in a compact design, enabling more accurate sensing of occupant presence and activity.

“Gapwaves is a leader in waveguide technology, and we look forward to combining their expertise with Acconeer’s compact, easy-to-integrate radar – where we are proud to have some of Sweden’s foremost specialists on the team. Together, we aim to further sharpen in-cabin presence detection solutions and contribute to improved road safety”, says Kåre Agardh, Head of Hardware Integration, Acconeer.

“We are delighted to be collaborating with Acconeer on this project. By combining Gapwaves’ expertise in waveguide antennas with Acconeer’s deep knowledge of compact radar sensors, we can address challenges related to field of view, resolution and integration in ways that would not have been achievable nor cost-effective with conventional antenna solutions”, says Nils Dagås, VP R&D, Gapwaves

This project has been granted funding from Vinnova totaling 0.5MSEK. The amount will be shared between Acconeer and Gapwaves.
