Acconeer awarded three design wins by ALPS ALPINE for presence detection in cars to a European premium car manufacturer

By

The radar technology company Acconeer AB has been chosen by ALPS ALPINE to deliver radar sensors for the use case presence detection in cars to a European premium car manufacturer. Acconeer estimates the total potential value of the design wins to US$ 9-12 million over three years starting in 2022. 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.

These are the first design wins in this area for Acconeer. ALPS ALPINE is a world-leading manufacturer of electronic components, modules, and systems for cars.

Acconeer's unique ultra-low power and high precision radar sensor will be included in several of ALPS ALPINE's products serving different use cases. The new design wins announced today are for the use case presence detection, which is driven by industry standards such as European and Australasian New Car Assessment Programs (Euro NCAP and ANCAP). They provide consumers with independent information on the level of safety offered by vehicles in the event of a severe accident. In other geographies, demand for sensor technology will be driven by legislation such as the US "Hot Cars Act".

Lars Lindell, CEO of Acconeer, comments: "We have teamed up with ALPS ALPINE for a couple of years, and we are very pleased that they have managed to win business in this important lifesaving use case. We look forward to many more design wins in the future."

Acconeer develops integration-ready Entry Module with low system cost

By

The planned Entry Module, XM132, will be power and cost-efficient with optimized performance for a range of pre-defined use cases. It will be released during the second half of 2020, to complement Acconeer's module offering, which currently consists of the XM112 High-Performance Module and XM122 IoT Module. With XM132, Acconeer takes the next step in providing a module designed for smooth integration into customer products.

With a solderable design combining an ARM Cortex M0 microcontroller unit (MCU) with the A111 radar sensor, the XM132 Entry Module enables radar-based use cases with ultra-low power consumption at an outstanding system cost. To optimize performance, the module will be provided with software tailored for specific use cases. This way, performance requirements can be met at a more efficient cost for customers implementing these selected focus use cases.

"By combining our A111 radar sensor with an M0 MCU, we can provide a product designed to meet commercial sensor module integration requirements, with a shorter time-to-market for customers. To get the best possible performance on a small and cost-efficient system like the ARM Cortex M0 MCU, we will provide dedicated software optimized for this platform. The module SW will come in different versions targeting some of our most common customer use cases fit for integration on a M0-based system," says Mikael Rosenhed, Acconeer's Head of Product Management.

The ARM Cortex M7-based XM112 High-Performance Module was released in December 2018, to let customers evaluate their use cases on an embedded system with high performance. In October 2019, the XM122 IoT Module was launched targeting connected battery-powered use cases, combining the A111 radar sensor with an ARM Cortex M4 MCU and integrated connectivity such as Bluetooth. Both modules have been very well received by the market, opening up new business segments, which is why Acconeer has decided to take the next step and complement the product offering with the XM132 Entry Module.

Acconeer has shipped more than 100 000 A1 radar sensors

By

In February 2020, 24 months after the company started selling Evaluation Kits (EVKs) at Digi-Key, Acconeer AB has shipped more than 100 000 A1 radar sensors to distributors and customers.

Lars Lindell, CEO Acconeer, comments: "Having shipped 100 000 sensors in an important milestone for us as a company. Currently, our revenue split is about 75/25, where 75-80% of our revenue comes from the A1 radar sensor, and 20-25% comes from sales of EVKs.

We have for a long time stated that 12-24 months after the sale of EVK we expect to see customer launches, and now we can confirm that this results in volume sales. The lead time from EVK sales to customer launch varies significantly depending on the business segment. The automotive industry, for example, has a long time to market. Two years ago, less than 50 EVKs had been sold, and none of the 14 customers who have launched up until today had bought an EVK in February 2018."

In the coming 24 months, Acconeer expects that existing customers will increase their volume, the customer base will grow substantially, and the company will see larger customers launching their products.
