Cutting-edge radar solution company bitsensing and NXP® Semiconductors are entering into a joint development of a high-performance, scalable radar system, and will begin providing high-performance radar systems in various industries including automotive, smart cities, healthcare, and robotics.

Bitsensing recently announced that it has signed an MOU with NXP to jointly develop high-performance, scalable radar systems.

This collaboration aims to combine NXP’s advanced radar chipsets with Bitsensing’s innovative radar technology and software to deliver high-performance, scalable radar systems for a range of industries, including automotive, smart cities, robotics, and healthcare.

Bitsensing is developing next-generation radar solutions based on its expertise in NXP’s radar chipsets. This allows customers to receive technical support in the early stages of product development, effectively shortening the development period.

Currently, Bitsensing is shipping radar sample products based on NXP’s SAF85xx automotive radar single-chip family to key customers.

In particular, this collaboration will be a significant turning point that will accelerate the introduction of innovative radar technology for the automotive industry and ultimately contribute to the development of safer and smarter vehicles.

Additionally, the two companies plan to collaborate to advance Bitsensing’s radar technology in the fields of smart city traffic monitoring, sleep monitoring, healthcare, and robotics.

“This collaboration with NXP will allow us to deliver a truly scalable radar solution that we expect to be a game changer across all industries,” said Jae-Eun Lee, CEO of Bitsensing. “By combining NXP’s RF chipsets with Bitsensing’s radar technology, we will open up new possibilities with innovative, next-generation solutions.”

“We are excited to collaborate with Bitsensing to deliver radar systems for automotive and industrial applications,” said Karthik Ramesh, marketing director, NXP Semiconductors. “The combination of NXP’s market-leading radar chipsets and Bitsensing’s radar system capabilities will enable rapid development of scalable radar solutions and accelerate OEMs’ deployment of systems.”

The solutions enhanced by this collaboration are available in sample form and include 4D imaging radar, front and corner radar for ADAS and autonomous vehicles, TIMOS (Traffic Insight Monitoring Sensor) for smart city traffic monitoring, and wellness radar for sleep monitoring.
