Collaboration of Bitsensing with NXP in creating versatile radar technologies for diverse industries
Bitsensing and NXP Semiconductors Partner to Deliver Advanced Radar Solutions
In a significant step forward for Bitsensing, the company has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with NXP Semiconductors. This partnership aims to deliver high-performance, scalable radar systems across various sectors, including automotive, smart cities, healthcare, robotics, and connectivity.
The collaboration will combine NXP’s advanced radar chipsets with Bitsensing’s proprietary radar hardware, software, and AI-driven signal processing algorithms. By leveraging Bitsensing’s 4D radar innovations and NXP’s semiconductor radar chipset expertise, they will create versatile, scalable radar solutions applicable across these domains.
In the automotive sector, Bitsensing’s 4D imaging radar provides high-resolution, long-range detection (over 300 meters) and superior all-weather reliability for autonomous driving and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). The radar enables precise surroundings perception with improved object classification and detection range, supporting features such as automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, and comprehensive surround detection with corner radar (50% range improvement).
For smart cities, the radar systems are designed for traffic monitoring and management applications, employing AI and sensor fusion to improve urban mobility safety and efficiency. In healthcare, Bitsensing is developing contactless health and sleep monitoring solutions by integrating radar sensing with AI analytics, enabling personalized and preventive healthcare management without physical contact.
In robotics, the radar solutions support robotic sensing and navigation with improved object detection and environmental awareness, enhancing robot autonomy and operational reliability. The partnership also extends to connectivity, enabling connected, sensor-driven environments that enhance communications between vehicles, infrastructure, and devices.
Jae-Eun Lee, the CEO of Bitsensing, stated that the collaboration with NXP allows them to offer a truly scalable radar solution, which will be a game-changer across all the industries they serve. The partnership supports customers with pre-development and accelerates the overall development time.
Lead customers have already started evaluation with pre-developed samples based on NXP’s SAF85xx automotive radar one-chip family. Solutions using NXP chipsets for 4D Imaging Radar, Front Radar, and Corner Radar are sampling. The solutions also target Traffic Insight Monitoring Sensor (TIMOS) for smart city traffic monitoring radar for the connected urban environment.
Bitsensing encourages all who are interested to reach out for the solution sample that best fits their specific goals. This collaboration is poised to accelerate the deployment of radar systems by OEMs, offering a promising future for safer vehicles, smarter cities, improved healthcare monitoring, advanced robotics, and enhanced connectivity.
