Inventec Announces a Laboratory for Developing Ultra-Wideband Solutions Powered by NXP's Trimension UWB Portfolio

What’s new:

Inventec and NXP® Semiconductors, the trusted partner for innovative solutions in the automotive market, today announced a laboratory at the Inventec facility in Taoyuan, Taiwan. The laboratory aims to design and develop Ultra-Wideband (UWB) based systems for the automotive industry by leveraging NXP’s solution offering including the NXP Trimension® UWB portfolio.

Why it matters:

NXP’s innovative UWB technology has rapidly expanded its value proposition by moving from a single smart car mobile access use-case to a multi-purpose platform by enabling secure ranging and pulse radar in the same hardware. This differentiated capability not only allows a secure distance measurement but also micro motion detection that expands the technology use-cases into in cabin sensing, life sign detection, Kick-sensing, Intruder alert and more.

With a proven record in servers, Inventec announced in 2022 it would expand its design capabilities into the automotive market to create a “Server in Car,” turning cars into mobile offices and teaming up with NXP for central gateways, in-vehicle servers, and wireless in-vehicle chargers. To enrich the offering to carmakers and Tier-1-suppliers, Inventec extends its portfolio offering to include systems equipped with UWB technology. The laboratory located at the Inventec Taoyuan facility will be a main location for driving innovative UWB-based multi-use-case solutions for Tier1s and OEMs.

"NXP’s Trimension UWB-based systems enables us to provide our customers the best-in-class system solutions for people protection and a more convenient driver experience via UWB localization and radar function. The establishment of the lab will facilitate the integration of our design capabilities with NXP technologies to develop advanced intelligent automotive solutions for a smarter and safer world.”

Sam Yeh, Chairman of Inventec.

"We are proud to see the strategic collaboration with Inventec has moved to the next milestone and to see Inventec investing in UWB Technology. The lab will accelerate the progress of software-defined vehicles to the next level. The auto industry has to become faster and more efficient, and NXP is pleased to extend its system solutions portfolio to enable next-generation architectures, electrification, smart and secure car access systems, and more."
