Socionext today introduced the SC1260 Series radio-frequency ranging sensors for automotive applications. This new series utilizes the 60GHz frequency band and time-division multiplexing (TDM-MIMO) operation with multiple transmitting and receiving antennas that can detect the position and movement of passengers in a vehicle with maximum accuracy.
ZETA communication standard incorporates Advanced M-FSK modulation
Socionext has partnered with ZiFiSense and Techsor and developed a next-generation ZETA communication standard that incorporates the “Advanced M-FSK modulation” method.
ZiFiSense is the founder of the LPWA standard ZETA, and Techsor is the representative company of the ZETA Alliance in Japan.
The three companies have finalized specifications of the new standard and will conduct demonstration tests aiming for practical uses and its commercialization. Socionext plans to prototype a communication SoC that is compatible with the new standard by March 2022 with mass production scheduled to begin by the end of 2022.
LPWA (Low Power Wide Area) is a wireless communication technology standard suitable for IoT applications. ZETA features bi-directional communication and communication hopping through relays, providing a distinct advantage over other LPWA standards for use in buildings, as well as agricultural and fishing
