Lumotive Partners with Leading Electronics Distributor EDOM to Accelerate Solid-State Lidar Adoption in Taiwan
Collaboration to drive expansion of Lumotive’s solid-state beam steering chips for automotive, robotics, drone and security applications
Lumotive, a pioneer in optical semiconductor technology for 3D sensing, today announced a strategic partnership with EDOM Technology, a premier electronics distributor based in Taiwan with global footprints. The collaboration aims to accelerate the deployment of Lumotive’s Light Control Metasurface (LCM™) chips across the Taiwanese market, with a focus on automotive, robotics, drone, and security applications. EDOM is the latest addition to Lumotive’s expanding global partner network which consists of leading industry players, further strengthening its ability to make LCM products readily available to customers across diverse regions and sectors.
Leveraging its extensive network and deep expertise, EDOM will help drive sales and provide comprehensive support as Lumotive’s beam steering chips roll out in Taiwan, a region that accounts for more than 8% of global electronics and computers production. The partnership will enable Lumotive to tap into EDOM’s strong relationships with major manufacturers, module makers, and electronics suppliers.
Lumotive’s programmable optical beam steering technology enables the next generation of lidar with its mass-producible, solid-state beam steering chips that enable 3D sensing systems to be dramatically more compact, reliable, and cost-effective. With a production-ready reference design model and a suite of products that satisfy a diverse range of performance specifications, Lumotive allows sensor makers to rapidly configure and deploy scalable, solid-state lidar systems that can be easily integrated into a wide selection of applications.
“We are delighted to partner with EDOM Technology to bring our cutting-edge beam steering chip solutions to the Taiwanese market,” said Dr. Sam Heidari, CEO of Lumotive. “EDOM’s extensive reach and deep understanding of the industry will be invaluable as we work to accelerate the adoption of our LCM technology in automotive, robotics, drone, and security applications. This partnership represents a significant milestone in our global expansion.”
LCM-powered lidar facilitates the development of safer, more reliable vehicles and robots by enabling high-resolution, wide-angle sensing capabilities in a compact, solid-state package. In the robotics and drone sectors, Lumotive’s LCMs allow for precise navigation and obstacle avoidance capabilities, enabling safer and more efficient operation in the same compact form factor as a camera. For security and monitoring applications, LCM-based lidar provides high-resolution 3D imaging and adaptive scanning and tracking capabilities, which work reliably in all lighting conditions.
“We are excited to partner with Lumotive and bring their innovative beam steering chip solutions to our customers in Taiwan,” said Hoffei Hou, CEO of EDOM Technology. “Lumotive’s LCM technology represents a significant leap forward in 3D sensing, and we believe it has the potential to revolutionize a wide range of industries. We look forward to working closely with the Lumotive team to support the growth and adoption of their technology in the region.”
