BEIJING /April 27 /Securities Daily -- At the 2024 Beijing International Auto Show, VanJee Technology showcased a series of products and solutions, unveiling the WLR-760 next-generation ultra-thin car-mounted LiDAR, #V2X full-stack product series, and the vehicle-road cloud integration intelligent driving solution. The WLR-760 stands out as the world's thinnest car-mounted #LiDAR, measuring just 24mm in thickness, making it approximately 1mm smaller than the diameter of a one-yuan coin. This slim profile not only meets the evolving demands of vehicle body structures and designs but also minimizes aerodynamic drag. Moreover, its compact design facilitates seamless integration with other sensors, such as visual image sensors, enabling efficient multidimensional sensor calibration and data fusion. With a pricing strategy targeting the thousand-yuan range post-mass production, the WLR-760 promises affordability without compromising on quality. VanJee Technology has strategically positioned itself with a robust production capacity plan, boasting a nearly 50,000 square meter intelligent manufacturing facility in Shunyi, Beijing. Equipped with four SMT production lines, the company plans to achieve a LiDAR production capacity of 300,000 units per year, underscoring its readiness for large-scale automotive-grade LiDAR manufacturing.

🚨 905 nm vs. 1550 nm LiDAR – Which is the Better Choice? 🚨 The debate between 905 nm and 1550 nm LiDAR continues, offering unique advantages as well as some critical trade-offs. 💡 905 nm LiDAR: The Industry Standard • Cost-Effective: Built with affordable, silicon-based components, it is the top choice for mass production. • Weather-Resistant: Performs reliably in rain and fog, thanks to lower water absorption. • Market Maturity: Well-established with a robust supply chain, ensuring scalability and ease of integration. Downside: Limited range due to power limitations and higher susceptibility to sunlight interference impacts performance. 💡 1550 nm LiDAR: The High-Performance Contender • Eye-Safe, Higher Power: Can operate at higher power levels while remaining eye-safe, offering longer detection ranges and better performance in challenging conditions. • Reduced Interference: Less prone to interference from ambient light and other sensors, providing more reliable data. • Better Resolution: The higher power allows for improved resolution and accuracy, which is crucial for applications like autonomous vehicles. Downside: Higher cost due to expensive InGaAs detectors, and performance can drop in rain due to higher water absorption. 💬 And here is our take: While 1550 nm offers superior performance in range and resolution, the cost and maturity of 905 nm still make it more attractive for mass-market applications. Ongoing developments in 905 nm could close the gap. Both wavelengths have clear strengths—905 nm for cost and scalability, 1550 nm for advanced performance. Which LiDAR wavelength do you think is the best choice? 🤔 Drop your thoughts in the comments! #LiDAR #AutonomousDriving #TechDebate #Innovation

A nice piece from our partner Digiflec, explaining the difference between 1550 nm and 905 nm wavelength LiDAR. If you are still undecided about which path to take, why not talk to Seyond or any of our partners, like Digiflec? Seyond makes LiDAR in both 1550 nm and 905 nm. So, unlike other manufacturers, who would offer a one-size-fits-all solution, we work with you to determine which LiDAR is best for you. A combination of 1550 nm and 905 nm is often best. Give us or Digiflec a call; we are all on the same wavelength :-)
