About Acconeer AB
With ground-breaking technology, Acconeer has developed a radar sensor that opens a new world of interaction. Acconeer Micro Radar Sensor, with low power consumption, high precision, small size and high robustness, is a 60GHz robust and cost-effective sensor for detection, distance measurement, motion detection and camera-supported applications with low power consumption. Acconeer combines the advantage of low power consumption with highly accurate pulsed radar systems of coherent radar, all integrated into a component with a surface area of only 28 mm2. The radar sensor can be included in a range of mobile consumer products, from smartphones to wearables, but also in areas such as robots, drones, the Internet of Things, healthcare, automotive, industrial robots and security and monitoring systems. Acconeer is a semiconductor company and, as a business model, sells hardware to manufacturers of consumer electronics products. Acconeer is listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market with the ticker code ACCON, Redeye is the company's Certified Advisor (CA). For more information: www.acconeer.com.
As of today, Acconeer's latest radar sensor A121 is compliant with JEDEC and AEC-Q100 grade 2. This means that it is now ready for mass production and will be available for customers to buy through distributors by the end of March.

The order relates to the new A121 Pulsed Coherent Radar sensor for mass production, as well as the first A121-based module, the integration-ready XM125 and its related evaluation kit (EVK) XE125. The products will be available to purchase online from end of March. Digi-Keys global online platform, serving customers with evaluation kits and sensors intended for mass production, remains an important distribution channel for Acconeer.
Acconeer has agreed with three large global tech companies about a joint proposal to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for new regulations of the 60GHz frequency band in the US. The proposal makes it possible for Acconeer's and other mmWave radar technologies to co-exist with WiGig in the 60GHz band. The submitted proposal can be read at FCC's website.
In the third quarter 2022, Acconeer's net sales amounted to 12,066 kSEK, and the product revenue increased by 62% compared to the same quarter last year. A record number of sensors were sold, 185,419 and 21,116 modules were sold. In total, Acconeer has sold 1,208,596 radar sensors and 100,752 modules since launch.

The new module - which will be the first to integrate the new A121 radar sensor - will be called XM125 Entry+ Module. It will have ultra-low power consumption, outstanding system cost and solderable design for optimized integration into mass-produced solutions. The module is planned to be available for customers in Q1 2023.
Acconeer has now shipped more than 100 000 modules with the A111 radar sensor since the company launched its first module in December 2018. Since then, the company has released a range of popular modules where a radar sensor is combined with a microprocessor (MCU) and other supporting components.
Acconeer's A1 pulsed coherent radar sensor is used in an electrical car model from one of the top two American high-volume car makers for the use case access control, which allows touchless opening of the trunk of a car. This is the first commercially available car using the company's technology. Based on forecasts from the distributor, the value of the launch of this one model is estimated to USD 600 000 over three years. Sales to this customer is reflected in sales to Acconeer's distributors.
