Acconeer announces automotive design win to an estimated value of USD 5 million

By

Acconeer’s A121 Pulsed Coherent Radar sensor has been designed into a first car model from a leading Japanese automotive manufacturer. The design win is for the use case access control, which allows touchless opening of the trunk of a car. The total forecasted value of the design win is more than USD 5 million over a seven-year period starting in 2025. 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 happy to see yet another automotive design win, this time with a new manufacturer and the first one in Asia. This means that we now have launches or design wins with four of the leading automotive corporations in the world, which puts us in a very good position on a market that we expect to grow at a high pace over the coming years.”

In total, Acconeer has now seen four launched car models and fourteen design wins in the automotive industry. The total forecasted value of all announced design wins is USD 40 million in the period 2024-2031. A design win is counted when a formal nomination is received, or when forecasted sales can be done with high reliability.

Acconeer’s latest radar sensor achieves a power consumption less than 80 µW for human presence detection

By

The latest generation of Acconeer’s radar sensors has the world’s lowest power consumption – less than 80 µW – when used for human presence detection. These sensors are integrated in several car models to detect occupancy on each seat in the passenger compartment, and are accurate enough to even safely register a sleeping baby in a child seat.

While Acconeer’s market leading radar sensors can easily fit on the tip of a finger, they are still able to detect distance, speed and motion of multiple objects up to 20 meters away. The sensors are today deployed in a diverse selection of industries around the world, ranging from automotive and industrial installations to consumer products and IoT solutions. Many of the end products are powered by battery and have high restrictions on power consumption. When configured smartly, these sensor solutions can reach a battery lifetime of up to 10 years. 
 
The Acconeer team will be showing the products and a broad mix of live demos at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, January 9-12. For more information and to book a meeting at the CES tradeshow, please contact Magnus Gerward at us@acconeer.com.

Acconeer’s A121 Pulsed Coherent Radar sensor has been designed in to an additional five new car models from one of the world's leading multinational automotive manufacturing corporations. The design wins are for the use case access control, which allows touchless opening of the trunk of a car. The total forecasted value of the design wins is USD four million over a seven year period starting in 2025. 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 excited to announce new automotive design wins on several platforms, with one of the top five automotive manufacturing corporations in the world. These design wins follow a previously communicated design win with the same manufacturer, and we take them as proof of the quality of our product which is now used in several new models and on new platforms. This is something we expect to see happening with several big players in the automotive industry over the coming years.”

In total, Acconeer has now seen four launched car models and thirteen design wins in the automotive industry. The total forecasted value of all announced design wins is USD 35 million in the period 2024-2031. A design win is counted when a formal nomination is received, or when forecasted sales can be done with high reliability.

Acconeer’s A121-based XM126 IoT Module now available

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.

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.
