What Arbe does

Arbe Robotics Ltd. (NASDAQ: ARBE) is an Israeli semiconductor company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Tel Aviv that develops ultra-high-resolution 4D imaging radar chipsets and perception software for automotive ADAS, autonomous vehicles, and adjacent markets including defense, maritime safety, smart infrastructure, and off-highway industrial applications. The company serves Tier 1 automotive suppliers (HiRain, Weifu, Sensrad, Veoneer), automotive OEMs (BAIC Group, AutoX, an unnamed Chinese state-owned automaker, and an unnamed European truck manufacturer), robotaxi operators, and commercial vehicle developers (DiDi's KargoBot), with offices in Israel, Shanghai (opened March 2024), the United States, and Germany.

Arbe's core offering is a proprietary radar chipset comprising a processor chip with patented Radar Processing Unit (RPU) architecture, a 12-channel Rx receiver chip, and a 24-channel Tx transmitter chip, all fabricated on GlobalFoundries' 22FDX FDSOI CMOS process. The chipset produces a 2,304-virtual-channel array (claimed 12x competitors) with 3 Tbps equivalent processing throughput, is AEC-Q100 qualified and ASIL-B ready, and operates in the 76-81 GHz band. The chipset powers Arbe's Phoenix HD Radar reference design (48x48 channel array, 20,000+ detections per frame, 300+ meter range, 1° spatial resolution) and the Lynx surround imaging radar, complemented by the Perception AI software stack for 360-degree environmental analysis, free-space mapping, edge-case detection, and sensor fusion. The Eyes-Off solution bundles these capabilities for L3 autonomy at highway speeds up to 130 km/h, with a combined NVIDIA accelerated computing platform announced at CES 2026.

Arbe generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of chipset components, engineering samples, and development platforms to Tier 1s and OEMs. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year development and production contracts (e.g., Weifu's $11.6M preliminary order, multi-thousand-vehicle L4 program with a Chinese state-owned automaker). Full-year 2025 revenue was approximately $1.0M; 2026 guidance is $4-6M with Q1 2026 revenue of $0.5M (up from $0.04M in Q1 2025). The company is pre-profitability with a $9.4M net loss in Q1 2026, holding ~$45M in cash at year-end 2025 after recent equity ($18.5M, January 2026) and convertible bond ($15.7M, December 2025) financings. The company became public via SPAC merger with Industrial Tech Acquisitions on October 8, 2021.

Revenue model

1. Automotive Chipset & Engineering Sample Sales: Primary revenue stream: sales of proprietary radar chipset components (processor chip, Rx receiver chip, Tx transmitter chip) and development/evaluation platforms to Tier 1 automotive suppliers and OEMs. Includes shipping chipsets to Tier 1 partner HiRain for high-resolution 48x48 imaging radar project. Currently early commercial stage with Q1 2026 revenue of $0.5M; 2026 revenue guidance $4-6M.
2. Automotive Design Wins & Production Programs: Recurring per-unit revenue expected from production design wins (e.g., Chinese state-owned automaker L4 program with HiRain for vehicles starting December 2026; Tier 1 HiRain LRR615 imaging radar platform; Phoenix radar deliveries to global robotaxi players). Revenue expected to ramp significantly in 2027 as production programs start.
3. Non-Automotive Radar Chipset Adoption: Chipsets supplied to Tier 1 partners (e.g., Sensrad) for defense, smart infrastructure, and maritime safety applications (e.g., WATCHIT recreational boat collision avoidance, Tianyi Transportation Technology framework agreement in China).

Core offering

Arbe develops and sells a proprietary 4D imaging radar chipset (Processor Chip + 12-channel Rx Receiver Chip + 24-channel Tx Transmitter Chip) built on GlobalFoundries' 22FDX FDSOI CMOS process, delivering a 2,304 virtual channel array with 3 Tbps equivalent processing throughput. The chipset powers the Phoenix HD Radar reference design and the Perception AI software stack, which together provide ultra-high-resolution 360-degree perception for L2+ ADAS through L4 autonomous driving applications. The company sells chipsets and reference platforms to automotive Tier 1 suppliers (HiRain, Weifu, Sensrad) and OEMs for integration into passenger vehicles, robotaxis, commercial trucks, heavy machinery, and defense/maritime applications.

Product overview

Arbe offers a unified 4D imaging radar platform combining a proprietary radar chipset with perception AI software and reference radar designs, deployed across automotive, heavy machinery, all-terrain/industrial, and static applications. The portfolio is anchored by the Arbe Chipset (Processor Chip + Rx Receiver Chip + Tx Transmitter Chip on GlobalFoundries 22FDX), which powers the Phoenix HD Radar reference design and the Perception AI software stack (delivering 360-degree perception, free-space mapping, object tracking, and SLAM). On top of these core products, Arbe offers the Eyes-Off solution for L3 autonomy and a Heavy Machinery variant for off-highway markets. The chipset is also licensed to Tier 1 partners (HiRain/Hirain, Weifu, Sensrad, Qamcom) who build and ship their own radar products, expanding Arbe's reach into automotive series production, defense, maritime safety, and smart infrastructure.
