Pre-Sales of Mojave Flash LiDAR Now Available Through Brevan Electronics
Highest Performing Near-field, Software-definable Flash LiDAR Provides Affordable, Powerful Sensing Capabilities for Robotics, Agriculture, and Industrial Applications
Mojave is the only flash LiDAR designed to meet the stringent needs of sensors in robotics, agriculture and other industrial applications. Key features of Mojave include:
· Depth accuracy error of less than 2%
· Provides more than 1.4 million points per second of depth information
· Has the ability to detect floor slope and camber · Superior cliff and edge detection over any other sensor on the market
· Single unit retail cost of $350
PreAct Technologies (PreAct), an Oregon-based developer of near-field flash LiDAR technology, today announced that pre-sales of its Mojave LiDAR are open through Brevan Electronics, a leading distributor of high-technology electronic components. Mojave is a high-performance, low-cost sensor solution to address a variety of applications including smart cities, robotics, cargo monitoring, education & university research, building monitoring, patient monitoring, agriculture, and much more.
Mojave comes fully calibrated from the factory and both the software and firmware are upgradable because of its soft- ware-definable capabilities, allowing companies to invest once in the hardware and continue to improve the sensor performance over time.
Mojave will also be available in October to companies, organizations and individuals looking to purchase single Mojave units or in volume through DigiKey and Amazon.

The industrial PC AC100 developed by EKF enhances the capabilities of the NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX with up to 21 TOPS of accelerated computing power, enabling the concurrent execution of advanced neural networks and the processing of data from multiple high-resolution sensors - a crucial requirement for fully AI-based systems at the edge.
The box PC stands out with its versatile input/output interfaces, including DisplayPort, Ethernet, and USB. Additionally, it provides a powerful mass storage solution with its internal PCIe® M.2 SSD interface. For wireless connec- tivity options, the AC100 is equipped with M.2 ports for a 4G/5G WWAN module and two Wi-Fi 6 modules. Optionally, four MPO/MTP fiber optic connectors can be provided for data transmission over PCI Express®
cading of additional AC100 modules to create a cluster. The achievable system performance and scalability can thus be tailored to the specific use case and adjusted in the field as needed. As a storage solution for the remaining components of the operating system and applications, an SD card can be optionally added. This supplements the integrated 16GB eMMC on the box PC. An additional high-performance and high-capacity storage solution for backing up and transferring user data is currently in development. Optically, distances of up to 300 meters can be bridged between components.
The software configuration is carried out using the customized and freely
Gen3 x4-based fiber optic cables
of up to 100 meters. Thanks to its wide-range voltage input of 9-57 VDC, flexible installation in different environments is possible.
Comprehensive Expansions for the NVIDIA® Jetson Xavier™ NX in Machine Learning and Image Processing The integration of a PCIe packet switch enables the use of external devices such as high-resolution cameras and the cas-

provided Linux4Tegra operating system by EKF, which is based on Ubuntu 18.04 and the Linux Kernel 4.9, both provided by NVIDIA. An NVMe SSD card with a current storage volume of 8 TB is available in the system for the user data. The external NVME SSDs of the connected systems can also be used within a cluster.
