What Andar does

Andar (杭州岸达科技有限公司, Andar Technologies Co., Ltd.) is a fabless IC design company founded in July 2016 and headquartered in Hangzhou, China, with additional R&D and sales operations in Melbourne (Australia), Shanghai, and Shenzhen. The company designs CMOS millimeter-wave radar SoC chips at both 60GHz and 77GHz, including the ADT2001 — billed as the world's first 77GHz CMOS radar chip using a phased-array system architecture with 16 transmit and 16 receive channels integrated on a single die — alongside 2T2R variants (ADT3102, ADT2011/ADT2012, ADT6101, ADT1002) and the cost-optimized ADT6110A AiP chip. Products are complemented by ADT300 and ADT600 series development boards and the ORED multi-scenario developer platform, which bundles antenna reference designs, an SDK, and visual data-analysis tools. Chip and board sales are the primary revenue streams; pricing is negotiated quote-based, no self-serve or distribution channel is mentioned, and the GTM motion combines direct enterprise sales from regional offices with conference-driven brand building at events such as IOTE 2024 Shanghai and 2024 China Microwave Week. Target verticals include automotive ADAS and autonomous driving, smart home and consumer electronics, drones, intelligent transportation systems, industrial automation, and security and screening — with Tier-1 automotive suppliers, smart home OEMs, drone manufacturers, and system integrators as the named customer types. The company has progressed through angel, Series A, and Series A+ funding rounds, has 50+ employees, and discloses 10+ years of core-team R&D experience drawn from Nitero, NICTA, and AMD.

Revenue model

1. mmWave Radar Chips: Andar generates revenue primarily from the sale of its proprietary CMOS mmWave radar chips (ADT3102, ADT2011/2012, ADT6101, ADT2001 series). As a Fabless IC design company, these are sold as finished silicon products to Tier-1 automotive suppliers, smart home device manufacturers, and industrial automation companies. Multiple chip models are in mass production and shipment.
2. Radar Development Boards and Reference Designs: Sale of ADT300 and ADT600 series radar development boards and evaluation kits, as well as ORED development platform modules. These serve as the development toolchain for customers integrating Andar chips, providing recurring hardware revenue and driving chip adoption.

Direct peers

• Calterah Semiconductor: China-based fabless designer of 77/60GHz CMOS mmWave radar SoCs serving automotive ADAS, smart home, and industrial applications. Closely comparable to Andar in technology, fabless model, target markets, and product positioning.

Broad incumbents

• Texas Instruments: Global semiconductor incumbent with the IWR series of 77/60GHz mmWave radar sensors and the AWR automotive radar portfolio. Competes with Andar in the same product category but at vastly greater scale and with broader product breadth.
• NXP Semiconductors: Supplies the SAF85xx and SAF86xx families of 77GHz automotive radar SoCs with deep Tier-1 design-in relationships globally. A direct competitor in 77GHz automotive radar ICs and one of the dominant suppliers in the segment.
• Renesas Electronics: Automotive semiconductor incumbent with 77GHz radar transceiver products and broader automotive MCU portfolio. Competes in the same automotive mmWave radar IC market as Andar with significantly larger scale and customer reach.
• STMicroelectronics: Global semiconductor supplier with an automotive radar IC portfolio and broader automotive semiconductor footprint. Competes indirectly with Andar in mmWave radar sensor ICs while bringing integrated automotive MCU and sensor fusion capabilities.
• Infineon Technologies: Major automotive semiconductor supplier offering 77GHz radar ICs (e.g., RXS8160PL) as part of a broader portfolio. Competes with Andar in automotive mmWave radar and brings decades of AEC-Q100-qualified automotive experience.

Emerging players

• Uhnder: US-based fabless designer of digital mmWave radar SoCs for automotive and industrial applications. Competes in the same 77GHz automotive radar IC space as Andar with a different architectural approach (digital vs. phased-array CMOS).
• Arbe Robotics: Israel-based fabless designer of 4D imaging radar chipsets with ultra-high channel count for automotive ADAS and autonomous driving. Comparable to Andar's ADT2001 16T16R phased-array 4D imaging radar approach but targeting higher-tier automotive applications.
• SGR Semiconductors: Emerging fabless designer of mmWave radar and RF ICs with comparable technology focus to Andar. Overlaps in 77GHz radar SoC development and automotive/industrial end markets.
