Acconeer welcomes the adoption of new rules for the 60 GHz band in the US

By

Last week the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted new, more flexible rules for the 60 GHz spectrum band to support state-of-the-art radar technology. For Acconeer this means that once the new rules are effective, our customers can more easily sell their products on the US market.

CEO Lars Lindell comments: "This expected decision is a very important step for us, as it enables more use cases on the US market. We estimate the rules will become official during this summer."

Important step towards new 60 GHz regulation in the US

By

Acconeer welcomes the FCC Fact Sheet "Allowing Expanded Flexibility and Opportunities for Unlicensed Operations in the 60 GHz Band" published by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) yesterday. The fact sheet is in line with the proposal submitted by Acconeer and other companies last year.

"The proposal covers everything we need to expand our business in the US and other regions that traditionally follow FCC regulation such as Canada, Mexico, Brazil. We have several customers, both in the US and internationally, that are ready to launch products in the US once this new regulation is effective", says Lars Lindell, CEO, Acconeer.

From Acconeer we have previously communicated that we estimate that the new regulation will be effective by summer 2023, and the fact that the topic is on the agenda for FCC's next meeting strengthens this belief.

Acconeer receives automotive design win with a forecasted value of USD 800k

By

Acconeer has received a design win for access control, which allows touchless opening of the trunk of a car using the A121 pulsed coherent radar sensor, with one of the world's leading multinational automotive manufacturing corporations. The forecasted value of the design win is estimated to USD 800k in the period 2024-2030. 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 very happy to be able to announce an automotive design win with a new customer, this time with one of the top five automotive manufacturing corporations in the world. This shows that our progress is on track in the automotive industry, which we believe will be an important business area for us the coming years. It is also the first automotive design win for A121, which was recently launched."

Acconeer launches first A121-based radar module – XM125 Entry+ Module

By

The previously announced XM125 Entry+ Module with ultra-low power consumption, outstanding system cost and solderable design has today been shipped to distributors and will be available for customers to buy in the next few days. It is the first module from Acconeer featuring the A121 Pulsed Coherent Radar sensor. An evaluation kit (EVK), XE125, making it possible for customers to evaluate and develop their XM125-based products is also delivered today.

Thanks to its small footprint and solderable design, the XM125 Entry+ Module is optimal for customers' integration into mass-produced solutions. In combination with the XE125 EVK, and support in reference applications and Exploration Tool, this enables smooth product development and short time-to-market.

Mikael Rosenhed, Head of Product Management, comments: "With the rich data from the A121 sensor, we have been able to write a module software that pushes performance and current consumption to the limits, and we are proud to say that this is our most power-efficient module to date without compromising on data quality or accuracy. We know that we have many customers waiting for the first A121-based module, and we are excited to see what innovative products they will create based on the XM125."

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.
