Ouster, Inc. announced the introduction of the most powerful lidar system on chip (SoC) it has ever created, the L2X. The L2X features a highly sensitive SPAD photodetector combined with on-chip digital signal processing that is capable of counting over one trillion photons per second and delivers double the data rate of the prior system on chip, while maintaining the same small size and low power draw. The L2X is designed to power the newest revision of Ouster?s OS digital lidar sensors. Ouster designs its sensors to meet a superset of performance requirements of its approximately 600 customers, to help ensure they can withstand high levels of shock, vibration, solar interference, water, and dust while reliably providing high-quality data. Powered by the L2X chip, Ouster?s OS sensors will now provide even richer point cloud data that improve the sensor?s ability to detect objects through environmental obscurants such as rain, fog, dust, snow, and even a wired fence. Combined with Ouster digital lidar?s industry-leading durability, Ouster customers can now confidently deploy their systems for all-weather performance.
