Large Japanese electronics company launches module based on Acconeer’s A1 radar sensor

By

The new module is a connected, battery-powered device targeting smart presence, distance and level measurements, as well as other radar-based IoT use cases. The module, which is now available to order, can for example be integrated into spaces such as bathrooms or meeting rooms to detect people presence, or put in tanks for measuring liquid levels. Acconeer estimates the value of the launch to USD 200k annually. Sales to this customer are reflected in sales to Acconeer’s distributors.

The company behind this module is a top player in the Japanese electronics market, with a long history of providing components and modules globally. By combining Acconeer’s high-precision, ultra-low power radar sensor with their expertise in module development, a unique offering is created for customers in Japan and worldwide.

Lars Lindell, CEO Acconeer, comments: “We continuously strive to find new ways to reach customers and are pleased to see this launch of a radar module based on our sensor. This opens up for new, innovative IoT products based on the A1 radar sensor.”

SALES START FOR A NEW CAR MODEL USING ACCONEER RADAR SENSOR WITH AN ESTIMATED TOTAL VALUE OF USD 350K

By

Acconeer's A1 pulsed coherent radar sensor is used in a new car model from one of the top two American high-volume car makers for the use case access control, which allows touchless opening of the trunk of a car. Acconeer estimates the total value of this model to USD 350k spread over seven years. Sale to this customer is reflected in sales to Acconeer's distributors.

This new car model follows three previous models from the same car maker.

CEO Lars Lindell comments: “At Acconeer we are excited to see yet another model coming from this large player in the car industry, where we now see that that the system for access control incorporating our sensor has become a standard product. We expect to see more car launches from this and other manufacturers going forward.”

The automotive industry is an important business segment for Acconeer. Acconeer’s radar is the pioneer to replace existing capacitive solutions for access control and the company expects radars to completely replace existing solutions. Based on this, Acconeer expects their sales to the automotive industry to grow significantly over the coming years.

Acconeer’s Pulsed Coherent Radar sensors now fully certified according to new US regulations

By

As of today, Acconeer’s A121 and A111 Pulsed Coherent Radar sensors are certified as compliant with the new rules for the 60GHz frequency band in the USA. The compliance has been verified by Cetecom advanced following the recent adoption of the new regulations.

CEO Lars Lindell comments: “This is an expected yet very important step for us and our customers on the American market, since it simplifies the launch of new products in the US significantly. As previously communicated, we are ramping up our sales activities in USA, and we look forward to seeing an uptake in activity and hopefully sales in the region.”

The grant is a modular approval including the use of lenses. This will reduce the cost of certification and time to market for Acconeer’s customers.
