The new module - which will be the first to integrate the new A121 radar sensor - will be called XM125 Entry+ Module. It will have ultra-low power consumption, outstanding system cost and solderable design for optimized integration into mass-produced solutions. The module is planned to be available for customers in First Quarter 2023.
The XM125 Entry+ Module will have the same form factor as the previously released Entry+ Modules XM123 and XM124, with a footprint of only 15x18,6 mm which is the new standard for modules featuring the A1 sensor family including both A111 and A121. XM125 can be delivered in tape-and-reel format which makes it easy for customers to put into mass production. An evaluation kit (EVK), XE125, will also be available to make it possible for customers to evaluate and develop their XM125-based products using Acconeer's popular Exploration Tool. Acconeer's first module, the ARM Cortex M7-based XM112 High-Performance Module, was released in December 2018, allowing customers to evaluate their use cases on an embedded system with high performance. Since then, the module portfolio has been extended and with the release of the XM125 there will be a total of six modules available in three different segments: High-Performance Modules for customers who want high processing power, IoT Modules for use cases where built-in connectivity is needed and Entry Modules for lowest possible system cost.
