Its core technology lies in: 1. Military high sensitivity and high reliability radar detection technology; 2. Low power technology; 3. Low cost single chip technology; 4. Intelligent technology.
It is reported that the domestic radio frequency and microwave integrated circuit design company “space-intelligent” completed the A-line capital and Cointreau Capital’s A round of financing in July this year. In January 2018, he was also invested by Zhenge Fund Angel Wheel. In December of the same year, he won the Pre-A round of investment from IC Coffee Fund and Ningbo Angel Investment Guide Fund.
According to the “Three-Year Action Guide for the Sensor Industry” issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in December 2017, 2021 The domestic market has a scale of more than 590 billion yuan. At present, 95% of domestic high-end sensors rely on imports, and more than 90% of chips rely on foreign technology. According to IC Insights 2017 Report, among the top 10 chip Fabless companies in the world, China occupies three seats: MediaTek, Haisi and Ziguang.
“Space Smart was established in December 2017 and is also focused on RF and microwave integration. Circuit Designs (Fabless) provides complete solutions for chips, modules, algorithms, software and even smart terminals.
There are three companies under the Air Intelligence: Ningbo Airspace Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., responsible for module development, production and sales; Space (Shanghai) Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., is the chip research and development center; (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd., responsible for customer service center, sales and after-sales service.
The company itself is incubated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Wireless Sensor Network and Communication Key Laboratory. The technology is derived from miniature millimeter wave short-range radar detectors in the military industry. As of December 31, 2018, the company has applied for 10 invention patents and 5 patents for integrated circuit layout.
The core technology lies in: 1. Military high sensitivity and high reliability radar detection technology; 2. Low power technology; 3. Low cost single chip technology; 4. Intelligent technology.
At present, the company is mainly for the smart home, energy-saving lighting and children’s toys market, research and development of low-cost millimeter wave radar gesture recognition SoC chip, and microwave radar sensing SoC chip, providing a complete turnkey solution (Turnkey Solution) to help customers Rapidly developed “black technology” intelligent electronic products that “space control”.
The star product is microwave radar sensor chip AT5810. For the field of intelligent lighting and smart home, it can sense the presence and movement of the human body and objects. The chip works in the 5.8G ISM band to meet the certification requirements; the chip is highly integrated and the sensor size is even smaller than a 5-point coin.

At the same time, the company has developed the Turnkey solution for large-scale standard products such as T8 and bulbs. The solution integrates power drive, microwave sensor and adaptive software. The lamp factory only needs to load the board. Lighting and induction can be achieved within the entire lamp.
In addition, the space-smart intelligence will gradually develop high-performance millimeter-wave radar chips and sensors into security, pension, industrial radar and other fields. In the future, we will further develop high-end millimeter-wave radar single-chip micro-systems and enter the military field.
In addition, according to its official website, the members of the intelligent space are mainly from well-known institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Huawei, HiSilicon, RDA, and Spreadtrum. They graduated from well-known institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tsinghua University, and Electronic Science and Technology University. Excellent R&D capability of key technologies such as microwave/millimeter wave radar system, RF/analog IC, power management, low-power SoC, artificial intelligence algorithm, and mass production experience of multiple digital-analog hybrid SoC chips. At the same time, the company has established a good production, study and research cooperation relationship with the Shanghai Institute of Microsystems of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Shanghai Institute of Advanced Studies of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to accelerate product development.
