Qamcom, Arbe to bring the 4D imaging radar to trucking

Jan. 28, 2021

The partnership aims to provide a variety of transportation modes the benefit of 2K ultra, high-resolution, a true level of safety, exceptional radar performance as well as paradigm-changing perception.

Arbe is partnering with Qamcom, a technology applications specialist, to expand its 4D Imaging Radar Solution to additional vehicle applications like trucks, busses, delivery PODS, and industrial verticals like industrial robots, security systems, ground protection, drones, traffic monitoring, and more. Qamcom will offer the customization of the imaging radar systems based on the Arbe chipset technology that will serve the unique function of each vehicle or application, in various implementations scales.

Through the partnership, Arbe’s 4D Imaging Radar solution aims to bring a true level of safety, unmatched radar performance, and paradigm-changing perception to new industry verticals – including both dynamic and static applications.

Arbe’s solution is to separate, track, and identify objects in 2K ultra-high resolution in both azimuth and elevation, achieved via a proprietary chipset of 48 receiving and 48 transmitting RF channels and a dedicated processor chip.

“Partnering with Qamcom will provide a customized solution that serve specific sensing requirements for all types of implementations like tractors, mining equipment, and delivery PODS,” said Kobi Marenko, CEO of Arbe. “Each application has a unique set of use-cases and requirement from the 4D Imaging Radar Solution and Qamcom’s customization capabilities will match those needs for projects in various scales.”

By making the 4D Imaging Radar Solution available to additional vehicles and industrial applications, Arbe is complementing the company’s product offering beyond ADAS and autonomous driving in the passenger vehicle vertical.

“Choosing Arbe as a partner was an obvious choice since there is no other radar chipset solution on the market that is comparative,” said Johan Lassing, chief executive officer of Qamcom. “Traditional or contemporary radar solutions don’t solve the challenges that autonomous vehicles face. Arbe revolutionized radar by creating a sensor that provides a never-before-seen image which is close to the image that vision based sensors achieve that also has the properties of radar – Arbe’s 4D Imaging Radar Solution has the potential to be the primary sensor candidate for the sensor suite of any autonomous and semi-autonomous applications and next generation perception platforms.”
