Based on the VA7000 chipset family, the VA700R provides the
connectivity infrastructure upon which innovative, safety-critical
visibility solutions can be designed for truck drivers.
HOD HASHARON, Israel, Jan. 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Valens
Semiconductor (NYSE: VLN), a leader in high-performance
connectivity, unveiled the VA700R Series, which offers industry
leading bandwidth and link distance for long vehicle sensor
connectivity. Enabling 4Gbps at distances of up to 40 meters/130
feet, while supplying power and bi-directional control over the
cable, the VA700R provides the connectivity infrastructure upon
which innovative visibility solutions can be designed for truck
drivers.
The VA700R Series – containing the VA7021R Serializer and the
VA7004R Deserializer – offers an unprecedented combination of
bandwidth and link distances for applications such as surround view
and rear-view visibility for medium and long vehicles. The SerDes
will support high resolutions, including up to 8MP (4K) cameras operating at 30 frames per second. It
is also bit-accurate, making it applicable for ADAS applications.
Demonstrations of the VA700R are available today, and engineering
samples are slated to be released to customers in mid-2024.
Long vehicles have suffered from a lack of visibility due to the
complex technical challenge of long-distance connectivity in a
rough Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) environment. Valens is
uniquely capable of overcoming this challenge, providing the best
solution for guaranteeing the performance needed for enhanced ADAS
systems in long vehicles.
"Valens Semiconductor's connectivity solutions are
high-performance – and that doesn't just mean the highest bandwidth
or the lower error rate – it also means the longest link distance,"
said Gideon Kedem, SVP and Head of
Automotive Business at Valens Semiconductor. "Our chipsets are the
connectivity infrastructure upon which automotive OEMs and Tier 1s
can build their future innovations. With the unprecedented
resilience and link distance of the VA700R, these innovations will
become available to millions of truck drivers around the world, who
operate the most dangerous vehicles on the road while having to
contend with limited visibility."
Valens is already seeing significant interest in its
long-vehicle-focused solutions. At Automotive World Japan, taking
place in Tokyo on January 24-26, Valens will display a
demonstration of the VA700R chipset, showing error-free
connectivity of 4Gbps over distances of 40 meters/130 feet.

epidemics, such as the recent global COVID-19 pandemic; the impact
of the global pandemic caused by COVID-19 on our customers' budgets
and on economic conditions generally, as well as the length,
severity of and pace of recovery following the pandemic;
competition in the semiconductor industry, and the failure to
introduce new technologies and products in a timely manner to
compete successfully against competitors; if Valens fails to adjust
its supply chain volume due to changing market conditions or fails
to estimate its customers' demand; disruptions in relationships
with any one of Valens' key customers; any difficulty selling
Valens' products if customers do not design its products into their

processes; even if Valens succeeds in winning selection processes
for its products, Valens may not generate timely or sufficient net
sales or margins from those wins; sustained yield problems or other
delays in the manufacturing process of products; our ability to
effectively manage, invest in, grow, and retain our sales force,
research and development capabilities, marketing team and other key
personnel; our ability to timely adjust product prices to customers
following price increase by the supply chain; our ability to adjust
