Bitsensing, a provider of advanced radar solutions, has entered into a memorandum of understanding with NXP Semiconductors to offer high-performance, scalable radar systems across automotive, smart cities, robotics, healthcare and beyond.
The partnership will combine NXP’s advanced radar chipsets with Bitsensing’s radar hardware and software. Bitsensing will leverage NXP’s radar chips to develop next-generation radar solutions, supporting customers with pre-development and accelerating overall development. Lead customers have already started evaluation with pre-developed samples based on NXP’s SAF85xx automotive radar one-chip family.
Bitsensing will also collaborate with NXP on developing radar solutions tailor-made for smart city traffic monitoring, healthcare radar for sleep monitoring, robotics applications, and beyond. Specifically, the solutions will address ADAS and autonomous vehicles (AV) and traffic insight monitoring sensors (TIMOS) for smart city traffic-monitoring radars for the connected urban environment.
“This collaboration with NXP allows us to offer a truly scalable radar solution, which will be a game-changer across all the industries we collectively serve,” said Jae-Eun Lee, CEO of Bitsensing.
“NXP is excited to partner with Bitsensing to bring radar systems that can serve automotive and industrial applications,” added Karthik Ramesh, marketing director at NXP.
