RoodMicrotec, a leading independent company for semiconductors supply and quality services, and NOVELDA, a developer of UWB (ultra-wideband) sensing solutions, are working together on the qualification, test and supply of NOVELDA’s new generation of UWB devices. The Ultra-Wideband Sensor can detect the tiniest movements, even breathing and heartbeat.
This ability enables NOVELDA to offer a reliable human presence sensor that can automatically activate a device like a laptop, an LCD screen or a ceiling lamp, when someone is in the vicinity, and turn the device off when they leave. This is useful in a variety of indoor applications in consumer electronics, building automation and in smart building systems. The NOVELDA UWB Sensor enables new levels of user experience, increases safety, and reduces energy consumption.
The cooperation with RoodMicrotec as a European partner enables NOVELDA to manage faster qualification and industrialization of new products. Effective collaboration, both on engineering and management level, and combining each partner’s expertise is allowing ‘first time right’ development of test solutions, qualification processes and rapid launch of production testing and supply. Furthermore, being a long-term partner, RoodMicrotec will support NOVELDA in continuously optimizing testing procedures to drive cost down over time.
RoodMicrotec will be partnering with NOVELDA in serving the global UWB market, which is forecasted by TSR (Techno System Research) to reach from 300 million units shipped in 2022 towards more than 1.8 billion units shipped by 2030.
“This collaboration provides us with faster time-to-market of our innovative UWB solutions, continuity of supply and constant focus on improvements both in quality and cost”, says Jan-Bjørnar Lund, NOVELDA’s CEO.
For RoodMicrotec, this partnership matches well within its portfolio of capabilities and services, as European leading test house.
Martin Sallenhag, CEO of RoodMicrotec, says: “This partnership is right within the sweet spot of our business proposition; combining our expertise with our customers' interests. We support our customers with state-of-the art RF test development and equipment in 24/7 highly flexible production test environment, complying with world class quality standards.”
