Smart Cities and Intelligent Transport Systems
Driven by the market segments for autonomous vehicles and smart cities, we expect an increased demand for radar antennas for traffic optimization and monitoring. Waveguide antennas in this segment enable a high-performance radar that is reliable in all weather conditions, and Gapwaves’ added value to infrastructure radar applications is confirmed through multi-year partnerships and agreements with, among others, Smartmicro.
In April 2023, Gapwaves invested in Sensrad, which offers a unique 4D Imaging Radar sensor based on the latest software and hardware technology, including Arbe’s leading chipset and Gapwaves’ high-performance antenna technology. Through this investment in Sensrad, we claim a position in the radar market segment for infrastructure & connected cities, while at the same time growing in the automotive market segment in Gapwaves’ antenna business. Sensrad’s 4D imaging radar, leveraging Gapwaves’ technology, can detect hundreds of static and moving objects simultaneously, in real time, providing the ability to continuously monitor infrastructure-related objects and areas. A wide viewing angle and large detection area with high resolution provide a robust solution for monitoring entire areas, even in harsh weather conditions, and is insensitive to dust and dirt.
