Acconeer develops module based on the new A121 pulsed coherent radar sensor

By

The new module – which will be the first to integrate the new A121 radar sensor – will be called XM125 Entry+ Module. It will have ultra-low power consumption, outstanding system cost and solderable design for optimized integration into mass-produced solutions. The module is planned to be available for customers in Q1 2023.

The XM125 Entry+ Module will have the same form factor as the previously released Entry+ Modules XM123 and XM124, with a footprint of only 15×18,6 mm which is the new standard for modules featuring the A1 sensor family including both A111 and A121. XM125 can be delivered in tape-and-reel format which makes it easy for customers to put into mass production. An evaluation kit (EVK), XE125, will also be available to make it possible for customers to evaluate and develop their XM125-based products using Acconeer's popular Exploration Tool.

CEO Lars Lindell comments: "We are happy to announce our first A121-based module, which will expand our successful integration-ready Entry Module range with our best sensor so far. Our modules have been very popular, and last week we could announce that we have sold more than 100 000 modules. Now we look forward to seeing what innovative products our customers will use the XM125 in."

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 has delivered more than 100 000 radar modules

By

Acconeer has now shipped more than 100 000 modules with the A111 radar sensor since the company launched its first module in December 2018. Since then, the company has released a range of popular modules where a radar sensor is combined with a microprocessor (MCU) and other supporting components.

Mikael Rosenhed, Head of Product Management Acconeer, comments: "We made the decision to develop our first module as a reference design to make it easier for customers to evaluate our radar sensor and develop their products using it. Over time, our module range has been expanded to also include integration-ready modules for customers to incorporate in their mass-produced solutions. These have been highly popular and we are happy to see that we have now sold more than 100K modules in less than four years."

First car using Acconeers A1 radar sensor now launched

By

Acconeer's A1 pulsed coherent radar sensor is used in an electrical 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. This is the first commercially available car using the company's technology. Based on forecasts from the distributor, the value of the launch of this one model is estimated to USD 600 000 over three years. Sales to this customer is reflected in sales to Acconeer's distributors.

CEO Lars Lindell comments: "To see the first car on the streets with our radar sensor in it is a huge milestone for Acconeer, and this is of course an important step for us as a company. We have recently stated that we believed that a car launch was very close, and now we have been able to confirm the launch. In combination with the previously communicated design wins with a European premium car manufacturer, this launch proves that our product is attractive and competitive for use in the automotive industry."

A very important step to be able to achieve this launch was the modular approval certification of the product against Acconeers waiver granted by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in July 2021.

Acconeer launches Evaluation Kit for A121 – new pulsed coherent radar sensor in A1 product family

By

As previously announced, Acconeer introduces a new high-performance radar sensor, A121, and today the evaluation kit (EVK) for the product has been shipped to distributors and will soon be available for customers to buy. The A121 radar sensor is planned to be ready for mass production in the first quarter of 2023.

CEO, Lars Lindell, comments: "This is a huge milestone for Acconeer as a company, as it moves us from a one-product startup to a multi-product company and proves that we have the capabilities to develop and maintain several sensor products in parallel. Now we are looking forward to seeing all the innovative customer products and use cases the A121 enables."

The EVK for A121 consists of an evaluation board, XE121, and a connector board XC120 which makes it possible to connect the EVK to a computer using USB C. The XE121 includes the A121 sensor and is compatible with Raspberry Pi as well as STM32 Nucleo from ST Microelectronics. In addition, a compatible lens kit, LH120, is available. In the coming months a satellite board called XS121 will be launched to let customers evaluate multi-sensor use cases with the XE121.

Head of Product Management, Mikael Rosenhed, comments: "Many of our customers use microcontroller units (MCUs) from ST Microelectronics in their products, and by making our EVK compatible with the Nucleo system from ST we make evaluation and development very easy for all of them. For customers using other MCU suppliers, the Raspberry Pi option still exists and will work just as well as before."

The new product will complement the A111 radar sensor and will have even lower power-consumption, increased performance and improved data quality. This will be of use in advanced power-critical use cases such as gesture-control using micro-motions and battery-driven IoT applications. The A121 will also have support for flexible power supply, with an IO interface of 1.8-3.3 V and will be qualified for AECQ-100 grade 2 to ensure operation over a wider temperature range. Being part of the A1 family, A121 is pin compatible with A111.

Acconeer launched the A111 pulsed coherent radar sensor during the spring 2018, and the A1 product family will now be complemented with the high-performance sensor A121. The next generation product family, A2, which is co-developed with Alps Alpine, will be launched in 2024 as previously announced.

Acconeer has delivered more than one million radar sensors

By

As of today, Acconeer has shipped more than one million A111 pulsed coherent radar sensors in total since the company started selling Evaluation Kits (EVKs) in February 2018.

Lars Lindell, CEO Acconeer, comments: "Today we ship our millionth radar sensor since we started selling it online, which is a great milestone to celebrate. This proves that we can deliver on our commitment and that we now have a good customer base buying our sensor in high volumes. Now we are looking to increase the rate we sell at even further to soon pass two million sensors."

In February 2020, 24 months after sales start, Acconeer reached 100 000 sensors sold. Seven months later that number was doubled, and the company passed 200 000 sold sensors. To go from 200 000 to half a million took less than a year, and now ten months later the number has doubled again and the mark of one million sold sensors is passed. Since 2021, Acconeer reports accumulated sales in financial reports, by the end of Q1 2022 the company had sold in total 860 000 radar sensors.
