Key Terms

lidar, edge compute, gpu, wi-fi, +3 more

7 terms

lidar technical

"InnovizSMARTer LiDAR with NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano."

Lidar, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a technology that uses laser beams to create detailed, three-dimensional maps of the environment. It works like a sophisticated eye that measures distances by bouncing light off objects, helping machines see and understand their surroundings. For investors, lidar is important because it enables advancements in autonomous vehicles, robotics, and mapping, which can drive innovation and growth in related industries.

edge compute technical

"Combining Scalable, Cost-Effective LiDAR with Edge Compute Platform"

Edge compute means processing data on devices or local servers close to where the data is created instead of sending it to a distant central data center. For investors, it matters because it can reduce delays, lower ongoing network costs, and enable new products or services (like real-time sensors or video analytics) that can boost revenue or cut expenses; think of it as putting a small, fast workshop next to a factory rather than shipping parts back and forth to a distant warehouse.

gpu technical

"The compact form factor and high GPU efficiency of NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano"

A GPU (graphics processing unit) is a specialized computer chip designed to handle many calculations at once, originally for rendering images and video but now widely used for tasks like artificial intelligence, data analysis and high-performance computing. Investors watch GPU demand and prices because strong sales often signal growth for chip makers and their customers, affect profit margins and capital spending, and can forecast wider trends in gaming, AI adoption and cloud services.

wi-fi technical

"The solution supports Wi-Fi, LTE, 5G, as well as other wireless networks"

Wireless networking technology that lets devices connect to the internet and each other without cables, acting like an invisible bridge between phones, computers, sensors and routers. Investors care because Wi‑Fi influences how products and services are used, how much equipment and infrastructure companies must build or upgrade, and where revenue or costs may shift — stronger or wider Wi‑Fi can boost customer engagement, enable new services, and create security and regulatory risks that affect valuations.

5g technical

"The solution supports Wi-Fi, LTE, 5G, as well as other wireless networks"

5G is the fifth generation of wireless technology that provides faster internet connections, lower latency, and greater capacity than previous networks. It enables quicker downloads, smoother streaming, and more reliable connections for devices. For investors, 5G represents a significant upgrade in technology infrastructure that can drive growth in related industries such as smartphones, smart cities, and the Internet of Things.

digital twin technical

"Cloud-based for remote monitoring and digital twin applications."

A digital twin is a live virtual replica of a physical asset, process, or system that mirrors real-world behavior using data and models so users can test changes, predict problems, and measure performance without touching the real thing. For investors, digital twins matter because they can lower maintenance costs, speed product development, improve uptime and reliability, and make future cash flows and risks easier to forecast — like using a flight simulator to safely train and tune a real airplane.

edge ai technical

"showing real-time edge AI processing."

Edge AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that process data directly on local devices or nearby servers rather than sending information to distant data centers. This allows for faster decision-making and real-time responses, similar to how a home security camera can instantly detect motion without needing to connect to a remote server. For investors, edge AI represents a growing trend toward more efficient, responsive technology that can create new opportunities across various industries.

TEL AVIV, Israel, Jan. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Innoviz Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: INVZ), a leading supplier of high-performance LiDAR solutions, announced today the integration of its InnovizSMARTer LiDAR with NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano. The new solution delivers a complete far edge solution for real-time 3D perception, enabling wireless deployment of LiDAR sensors in bandwidth-constrained environments while significantly reducing the centralized processing cost.

The integration with NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano addresses a major barrier in smart infrastructure. High-performing LiDAR sensors generate gigabits per second of raw data, which is impractical for wireless or cloud-based systems. The compact form factor and high GPU efficiency of NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano makes it an ideal selection for edge-processing and real-time compression. InnovizSMARTer reduces data transmission requirements by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude, eliminating the requirement for costly fiber infrastructure and enabling flexible, scalable deployments. The solution supports Wi-Fi, LTE, 5G, as well as other wireless networks, making high-performance 3D perception possible in multiple markets and use cases, including smart cities, mobility, perimeter security, and more.

With a cost-effective, cloud-connected solution, InnovizSMARTer, integrated with NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano simplifies installations, allowing customers to deploy more sensors, faster, and in more locations. This is expected to dramatically shorten project timelines and lowers upfront investment, making advanced 3D perception accessible to a wider range of customers and use cases. The cloud-based architecture is designed to allow customers to monitor, manage, and scale their projects remotely, supporting rapid expansion across cities, campuses, and enterprises worldwide.

"This collaboration with NVIDIA demonstrates our commitment to making advanced LiDAR technology accessible and scalable," said Omer Keilaf, CEO and Founder of Innoviz Technologies. "By combining our LiDAR with NVIDIA AI infrastructure, we're expecting to open new opportunities for urban mobility, security, and intelligent infrastructure, while reducing deployment costs and complexity."
