Vayyar Imaging secures FCC Waiver and JP certification, becoming the first and only globally regulated provider of automotive in-cabin 4D imaging radar

TEL AVIV, Israel, April 19, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- With US FCC approval, EU ETSI compliance and JP TELEC certification, the tier

2 supplier's globally regulated 4D imaging radar provides lifesaving in-cabin

monitoring applications such as Child Presence Detection, while yielding

significant cost savings

Today, Vayyar Imaging, the global leader in 4D imaging radar, became the

world's first and only company to comply with in-cabin radio frequency

standards worldwide, after receiving the FCC waiver for operation of 60 GHz

radar inside US vehicles.

The tier 2 supplier's globally approved reference design is also EU

ETSI-compliant and JP TELEC-certified, making it the first universal 60 GHz

in-cabin solution on a single SKU.

The FCC's landmark decision to grant Vayyar a waiver is set to revolutionize

in-cabin safety with leading-edge radar-based applications designed to prevent

"hot car" tragedies, when children are left in vehicles and succumb to

vehicular heatstroke.

In addition to worldwide radio compliance, Vayyar's in-cabin 4D imaging radar

meets Euro NCAP's 2023 Child Presence Detection (CPD) and Seat Belt Reminder

(SBR) requirements, serving as a powerful, high-resolution platform that

enables automakers to provide unprecedented safety on a global scale. The

flagship solution will save countless lives annually by triggering alerts if

children are left in vehicles and by ensuring that all vehicle occupants are

properly restrained. With pinpoint accuracy, Vayyar's solution provides

comprehensive detection and classification of all vehicle occupants, allowing

any model to earn up to 7.5 Euro NCAP in-car safety points.

"Being the world's only company to secure an FCC waiver, Japan certification

and European compliance puts Vayyar in pole position for in-cabin safety," said

Ian Podkamien, VP and Head of Automotive at Vayyar. "With growing industry

demand for affordable, unified safety solutions that reduce complexity and

costs, our road-ready platform will accelerate industry-wide transformation as

we further our mission of protecting every life on the road."

Vayyar's unprecedented multifunctionality on a single-chip platform enhances

safety while cutting complexity and costs by supporting multiple applications

beyond CPD and SBR, with just one sensor. The end-to-end software-hardware

platform also enables Occupant Monitoring Status (OMS), optimized airbag

deployment, seat belt pre-tensioning, advanced eCall, vital signs, gesture

recognition, out-of-position detection, intruder detection, and more.

Thanks to its ultra-wide field of view, just one RFIC covers up to three

complete seating rows and all footwells, as well as the open trunk. A

48-antenna MIMO array offers unprecedented high resolution, providing rich

detection and classification data on all occupants as well as their posture and

position. The sensor's uniform rear ceiling installation accommodates all

passenger vehicles including full-sized SUVs and cars with sunroofs.

As automakers strive to protect motorists and their passengers, global

certification of Vayyar's multifunctional, single-chip platform is helping all

vehicles earn the highest safety ratings while enhancing in-cabin safety with

reliable and affordable technology.
