The A212 Pulsed Coherent Radar sensor from Acconeer is a multi-channel millimeter wave radar sensor operating in the 60 GHz frequency band, with extreme accuracy and performance while consuming very little power. It is the first product in Acconeer's second-generation A2 family and the world's first multichannel Pulsed Coherent Radar solution. Its multi-antenna design gives high angular resolution, so the sensor can tell not only how far away objects are but also where they are. This opens up new use cases in areas such as automotive in-cabin sensing, presence detection, obstacle detection, robotics and vital sign monitoring.

Included in today’s release is Acconeer’s easy-to-use Exploration Tool, a mature SDK with all supporting documents and an advanced Presence application with robust people detection, people counting and high-accuracy people tracking showing where people are in a room without using power-hungry and privacy violating camera solutions. Using these resources will significantly shorten time to market for customers.

"Customers in the automotive industry have already shown what the A212 can do. Now we want every engineer to be able to try it. With the evaluation kit available on DigiKey and the SDK free to download, getting started with multichannel radar is easier than ever," says Ted Hansson, CEO of Acconeer.

The open release builds on a year of commercial progress. In November 2025, Acconeer received its first volume order for the A212, for in-cabin use cases at a European premium car manufacturer who has now launched their first model using the solution. In July 2026, the EVK became available on DigiKey to selected customers. In October 2026, a customer in EMEA placed the first limited volume order outside automotive in-cabin sensing, for an obstacle detection application. Acconeer has shipped hundreds of evaluation kits in recent months, and several customers have moved on to buying samples for prototyping.
