Author: Benzinga Newsdesk | August 12, 2025 07:15am

Aeva® (NASDAQ:AEVA), a leader in next-generation sensing and perception systems, today introduced Aeva Atlas™ Orion, a high-performance 4D LiDAR sensor built to transform smart infrastructure and security. Engineered to meet rigorous NEMA-TS2 traffic signal control standards, Atlas Orion delivers long-range perception and durability for demanding outdoor environments. Its single-box design with integrated power and data over ethernet (PoE++) makes deployment fast and cost-efficient, while Aeva's breakthrough FMCW 4D LiDAR technology provides the accuracy and intelligence needed to power data-driven smart cities and secure facilities.

Aeva's Atlas Orion 4D LiDAR sensor powers the future of smart infrastructure, traffic management, and security.

Atlas Orion is engineered with high-resolution detection and dynamic object tracking to address the challenges of transportation safety, security, and crowd monitoring applications. Featuring Aeva's Ultra Resolution™ technology, it delivers the accuracy and clarity required to optimize infrastructure operations and improve safety. Atlas Orion simultaneously measures velocity and position, enabling precise tracking in dynamic environments, with a detection range of up to 500 meters for vehicles and up to 200 meters for vulnerable road users. With a 120-degree field of view and ultra-fine angular resolution of up to 0.05° x 0.05°, Atlas Orion can achieve comprehensive intersection coverage using just two sensors—driving operational efficiency and scalability in traffic management deployments.

"Atlas Orion sets a new standard for smart infrastructure," said Mina Rezk, Co-Founder and CTO of Aeva. "This product is part of our expanding vision to create smarter, safer, and more efficient cities. With its high performance, dynamic object detection and tracking, and ease of installation, Atlas Orion provides immediate value for cities, large facilities like airports, and security teams seeking to leverage data for better decision-making."

Key Advantages of Atlas Orion:

• Ultra-Long Range: Simultaneous range and velocity measurements provide high confidence detection and tracking of moving objects including vehicles at up to 500 meters and vulnerable road users at up to 200 meters.
• Certified for Reliability: Meets NEMA-TS2 traffic signal control standards for durability in demanding environments.
• Low-Light Performance: Operates reliably in nighttime and low-light conditions, outperforming camera-only systems.
• Immune to Glare and Interference: Unaffected by sunlight glare and immune to blooming or ghosting from reflective surfaces like road reflectors and street signs.
• Power Over Ethernet (PoE++): Easy installation with a single gigabit ethernet cable for both data and power, reducing infrastructure complexity and cost.
• Privacy-First Design: Collects situational data without capturing personally identifiable information, addressing critical privacy concerns in public and private spaces.
