Acconeer’s A121-based XM126 IoT Module now available

By

The XM126 IoT Module based on Acconeer’s latest Pulsed Coherent Radar sensor A121 is now available to buy for customers globally. With a battery life of up to ten years depending on use case and settings, this new module is the perfect choice for customers looking to create connected, battery-powered products. It is compatible with the XA122 Battery Board and the waterproof CA122 IoT Casing for easy integration and short time to market.

Mikael Rosenhed, Head of Product Management, comments: “Based on customer demand and continuous dialogue with our partners, we’re expanding our product portfolio with the XM126 radar module. It combines the high performance of the A121 radar sensor with connectivity and is one of our most power efficient modules so far.”

The XM126 IoT Module is the second module featuring the new A121 pulsed coherent radar sensor, and will be a low power connected radar module in an optimized circular form factor with a diameter of 33 mm. This IoT module integrates the A121 sensor with the Nordic nRF52840 System on Chip (SoC) with a 32-bit 64 MHz Arm® Cortex®-M4 CPU. It comes with pre-certified Bluetooth connectivity (BLE) and is prepared for several options for wireless connectivity.

Acconeer released the first radar module in December 2018, allowing customers to develop and launch products with industry leading accuracy and power consumption. Since then, the Acconeer product portfolio has expanded into a selection of sensors, modules and EVKs, with performance levels and feature sets matching a wide range of application areas.

Acconeer develops A121-based IoT Module

By

Following the popularity of our previous XM122 IoT Module, we are now developing a new version using the A121 pulsed coherent radar sensor for even better performance. The new module will be called XM126 and will be the perfect choice for customers looking to create connected, battery-powered products. The product including an evaluation kit (EVK) will be available to buy before the end of 2023.

CEO Lars Lindell comments: “Our previous IoT Module is one of our best-selling products and is appreciated by customers who need a connected and power efficient module to integrate directly into their IoT products. With the XM126 we provide them with the option to use the new A121 radar, for even higher performance and data quality.”

The XM126 IoT Module is the second module featuring the new A121 pulsed coherent radar sensor, and will be a low power connected radar module in an optimized circular form factor with a diameter of 33 mm. This IoT module integrates the A121 sensor with the Nordic nRF52840 System on Chip (SoC) that supports a 32-bit 64 MHz Arm® Cortex®-M4 CPU and supports several options for wireless connectivity. Just like XM122, the XM126 will be compatible with the XA122 Battery Board and the waterproof CA122 IoT Casing.

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 XM126 there will be a total of seven 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 releases Breathing Rate Reference Application

By

The new reference application for Acconeer’s A121 Pulsed Coherent Radar sensor is intended to shorten the time to market for customers and will be available on the company’s website this week. Thanks to the A121 radar sensor’s unmatched precision when it comes to detecting small movements, it can accurately measure the breathing rate of a person standing, sitting, or lying down.

CEO Lars Lindell comments: “We have several customers looking into the area of vital signs monitoring. With the new reference application for A121 we provide a tool that will simplify their development and shorten the time to market.”

The global market for vital signs monitoring is growing rapidly and to measure respiratory rate is useful in a range of products and use cases. For example, a baby monitor measuring breathing rate can give important information to parents about their child’s sleeping pattern. A device measuring respiratory rate on the nightstand can provide information about a sleeping person’s general health status. It can also be a useful tool for monitoring sleep apnea.
