Important step towards new 60 GHz regulation in the US

By

Acconeer welcomes the FCC Fact Sheet "Allowing Expanded Flexibility and Opportunities for Unlicensed Operations in the 60 GHz Band" published by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) yesterday. The fact sheet is in line with the proposal submitted by Acconeer and other companies last year.

"The proposal covers everything we need to expand our business in the US and other regions that traditionally follow FCC regulation such as Canada, Mexico, Brazil. We have several customers, both in the US and internationally, that are ready to launch products in the US once this new regulation is effective", says Lars Lindell, CEO, Acconeer.

From Acconeer we have previously communicated that we estimate that the new regulation will be effective by summer 2023, and the fact that the topic is on the agenda for FCC's next meeting strengthens this belief.

Acconeer receives automotive design win with a forecasted value of USD 800k

By

Acconeer has received a design win for access control, which allows touchless opening of the trunk of a car using the A121 pulsed coherent radar sensor, with one of the world's leading multinational automotive manufacturing corporations. The forecasted value of the design win is estimated to USD 800k in the period 2024-2030. By "design win" Acconeer refers to that the company's radar sensor has been selected for use in a customer product, but it is not equivalent to that an order has been placed.

CEO Lars Lindell comments: "We are very happy to be able to announce an automotive design win with a new customer, this time with one of the top five automotive manufacturing corporations in the world. This shows that our progress is on track in the automotive industry, which we believe will be an important business area for us the coming years. It is also the first automotive design win for A121, which was recently launched."

Acconeer launches first A121-based radar module – XM125 Entry+ Module

By

The previously announced XM125 Entry+ Module with ultra-low power consumption, outstanding system cost and solderable design has today been shipped to distributors and will be available for customers to buy in the next few days. It is the first module from Acconeer featuring the A121 Pulsed Coherent Radar sensor. An evaluation kit (EVK), XE125, making it possible for customers to evaluate and develop their XM125-based products is also delivered today.

Thanks to its small footprint and solderable design, the XM125 Entry+ Module is optimal for customers' integration into mass-produced solutions. In combination with the XE125 EVK, and support in reference applications and Exploration Tool, this enables smooth product development and short time-to-market.

Mikael Rosenhed, Head of Product Management, comments: "With the rich data from the A121 sensor, we have been able to write a module software that pushes performance and current consumption to the limits, and we are proud to say that this is our most power-efficient module to date without compromising on data quality or accuracy. We know that we have many customers waiting for the first A121-based module, and we are excited to see what innovative products they will create based on the XM125."

Acconeer's first module, the ARM Cortex M7-based XM112 High-Performance Module, was released in December 2018, allowing customers to evaluate their use cases on an embedded system with high performance. Since then, the module portfolio has been extended and with the release of the XM125 there will be a total of six modules available in three different segments: High-Performance Modules for customers who want high processing power, IoT Modules for use cases where built-in connectivity is needed and Entry Modules for lowest possible system cost.

Acconeer’s pulsed coherent radar sensor A121 ready for mass production

By

As of today, Acconeer's latest radar sensor A121 is compliant with JEDEC and AEC-Q100 grade 2. This means that it is now ready for mass production and will be available for customers to buy through distributors by the end of March.

A121 has been tested against JEDEC JESD47 ("Stress-Test-Driven Qualification of Integrated Circuits") which is a global industry standard for ensuring component reliability. The tests consist of various stress-related tests, which include simulated long-term use (more than 10 years in normal use), resistance to cold, heat, voltage, humidity and electrostatic discharges.

Furthermore, the A121 has completed AEC-Q100 grade 2 qualification for integrated circuits in automotive applications. This specification has been established by the Automotive Electronics Council (AEC) to define qualification requirements and procedures for integrated circuits used in the automotive industry. An AEC – Q100 qualified device means that the device has passed the specified stress tests and guarantees a certain level of quality and reliability between -40°C and +105°C.

Mikael Rosenhed, Head of Product Management Acconeer, comments: "This is an important step for Acconeer as it means that we now can provide our best sensor yet to customers for mass production. The evaluation kit (EVK) for A121 has been available since summer 2022, and we have several customers who already have come far in their development of products using A121."

Acconeer and three major WiGig stakeholders submit joint regulation proposal to FCC

By

Acconeer has agreed with three large global tech companies about a joint proposal to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for new regulations of the 60GHz frequency band in the US. The proposal makes it possible for Acconeer's and other mmWave radar technologies to co-exist with WiGig in the 60GHz band. The submitted proposal can be read at FCC's website.

WiGig, also known as 60 GHz Wi-Fi, is a communication protocol that shares the same unlicensed frequency band as Acconeer's Pulsed Coherent Radar as well as other mmWave technologies. The FCC is currently working on new regulations for the 60GHz frequency band, which will be important for Acconeer's activities on the American market and open up for new innovative applications. With new regulations in place, future certifications will also be less complicated and time-consuming for customers.

CEO Lars Lindell comments: "We see this agreement with the WiGig companies about a co-existence proposal as an important step towards US regulation that is beneficial for Acconeer, our customers, and the American public."
