RM IoT mmWave IS Sensor
FY 2025-26 · 2025-09-02
Summary
The first version of the sensor was limited by its communication method and measurement range, restricting its use to certain locations and smaller containers.
The next generation will expand both connectivity and measurement capabilities, enabling operation in remote areas and supporting much larger container sizes. These improvements will also simplify the design, reduce costs, and maintain required safety standards, resulting in a more versatile and competitive solution for global deployment.

Description (French)
La première version du capteur était limitée par son mode de communication et sa plage de mesure, ce qui restreignait son utilisation à certains endroits et à des conteneurs de petite taille. La prochaine génération élargira à la fois les capacités de connectivité et de mesure, permettant ainsi une utilisation dans des zones reculées et la prise en charge de conteneurs de taille beaucoup plus importante. Ces améliorations simplifieront également la conception, réduiront les coûts et maintiendront les normes de sécurité requises, ce qui se traduira par une solution plus polyvalente et plus compétitive pour un déploiement mondial.
