MicroVision (MVIS) announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Scantinel has introduced an advanced external laser small form-factor pluggable (ELSFP) photonics module for next-generation AI data center and intelligent infrastructure applications.
The ELSFP module provides a centralized, serviceable light source for co-packaged optics (CPO) systems in existing and future AI data centers and photonics-enabled cloud infrastructure. It is built around Scantinel’s photonic integrated circuit (PIC), a two-dimensional photonics platform intended to improve speed, power efficiency, and economics of high-speed optical connectivity. The PIC is the same core technology that underpins MicroVision’s FMCW lidar architecture, allowing the company to extend existing technology into AI data connectivity without, in its view, requiring significant new investment.
This photonics introduction is part of MicroVision’s broader expansion into intelligent infrastructure, and the company is in discussions with several potential licensees and development partners to accelerate commercialization.
MicroVision (MVIS) announced that its IRIS long-range lidar sensor has been selected by a leader in off-road autonomous ground systems for defense applications.
The customer plans to integrate IRIS into heavy military vehicles used in advanced autonomous ground vehicle operations in complex, mission-critical environments. The selection follows evaluations focused on high-performance perception and reliable environmental awareness in challenging terrain. IRIS offers long-range detection, high-resolution perception, a compact architecture, and operates at a 1550 nm wavelength, which makes it invisible to night vision goggles.
MicroVision (MVIS) is showcasing its expanding lidar-based perception portfolio at IAA Transportation 2026 in Hanover, Germany, from September 15-20, 2026.
The company is highlighting its new MicroVision Perception Platform, described as a flexible, modular architecture that can be configured for specific applications. Demonstrations at Hall 11 Booth D02 feature the latest MOVIA S short-range lidar configuration, HALO long-range lidar, a first look at the anticipated form factor for Scantinel FMCW ultra-long-range sensing technology, and a new commercial vehicle perception concept. Driving demos combine MOVIA S and HALO to show complementary short- and long-range sensing, and production of the new MOVIA S configuration is expected to begin in October 2026.
MicroVision is also presenting perception software and SLAM-based mapping, plus guided booth tours and technical talks on short- and long-range perception for commercial vehicles.
MicroVision (MVIS) announced that its IRIS long-range lidar is being deployed in an autonomous mobility service pilot program in the Asia-Pacific region, marking a shift from technology evaluation to real-world use.
The pilot vehicles combine IRIS with cameras and radar in a multi-sensor perception architecture intended to deliver a comprehensive, real-time view of the driving environment. IRIS provides high-resolution, long-range 3D sensing to support object detection and collision avoidance at higher speeds and in low-light and nighttime conditions. The program is using IRIS now with a stated pathway to MicroVision’s next-generation HALO sensor as the service moves toward broader commercial deployment, allowing customers to reuse integration and validation work as they transition. MicroVision highlights this pilot as part of a wider opportunity as autonomous mobility operators progress from development programs to commercial services, supported by its lidar and perception software portfolio.
MicroVision (MVIS) will unveil its new MicroVision Perception Platform at IAA Transportation 2026 in Hanover, Germany from September 15-20, 2026.
The modular lidar-based perception platform is designed to combine MicroVision lidar hardware, perception software and open sensor integration within a common architecture. It aims to let customers configure different mixes of short-, long- and emerging ultra-long-range sensing, plus additional sensor inputs, to match requirements across automotive, commercial vehicle, industrial, security, defense and aerial applications. At IAA, MicroVision plans to show multiple reference configurations and technology demonstrations that illustrate how its short- and long-range lidar, SLAM capabilities and emerging FMCW technologies can be combined as part of broader perception solutions.
MicroVision (MVIS) announced that its MicroVision Semiconductor business has been selected by a prime government contractor to design a custom semiconductor solution for an advanced photonics application.
The project combines the contractor's polarization and photonics expertise with MicroVision Semiconductor's custom analog and mixed-signal integrated circuit design capabilities, including a liquid crystal on silicon spatial light modulator chip. The engagement showcases MicroVision's ability to apply its semiconductor engineering beyond its core lidar and perception markets and aligns with its strategy to expand into broader sensing and photonics programs.
MicroVision (MVIS) granted inducement equity awards to its newly appointed Chief Commercial Officer and Chief Financial Officer on September 2, 2026.
The company issued 674,536 restricted stock units (RSUs) to CCO James Byun and 562,114 RSUs to CFO Christine Chambers. Each award is a material inducement to employment and will vest over four years, with 25% vesting on each of the first four anniversaries of the executives' start dates, subject to continued service. The RSUs are granted under MicroVision's 2025 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan, as amended.
MicroVision (NASDAQ: MVIS) announced that Nasdaq Listing Qualifications has notified the company it has regained compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements, and the matter is now closed.
