Lumotive backs E-Photonics' LiDAR launch at ITS Spain

E-Photonics will debut its next-generation LiDAR-based ITS solutions at the ITS Show in Spain, bringing unprecedented flexibility, reliability, and scalability to applications such as parking management, traffic control, and pedestrian monitoring.

"E-Photonics' launch demonstrates the real-world impact of software-defined LiDAR in transforming intelligent transportation systems," said Dr. Sam Heidari, CEO of Lumotive. "By building on Lumotive's solid-state beam steering technology, they are delivering flexible, scalable solutions that meet the evolving needs of smart infrastructure projects across Europe and the Middle East. This collaboration is a clear example of how our platform accelerates innovation and deployment for partners worldwide."

Enabling breakthrough smart infrastructure solutions

E-Photonics' newly introduced product suite – designed for vehicle classification, people flow analytics, toll booth monitoring, and smart parking – is built using Lumotive's solid-state reference designs and software-defined beam-steering technology. The solutions enable customers to address a wide variety of deployment scenarios with a single hardware platform that can be dynamically configured via software.

Key highlights:

• One sensor, many applications: Lumotive's software-defined beam steering allows E-Photonics' systems to adapt to various operational scenarios – different mounting angles, fields of view, and environmental conditions – without requiring hardware modifications
• Reduced operational costs: remote calibration and software updates minimise manual intervention and lower maintenance and lifecycle costs
• Rugged and reliable: Lumotive's solid-state architecture ensures durability and performance in harsh outdoor environments

Optimised for a range of ITS applications

Leveraging Lumotive's technology, E-Photonics' solutions are tailored to optimise key ITS applications:

• Traffic monitoring and toll booths: high-frame-rate configurations support real-time vehicle speed and classification analysis
• Parking structures: wide field-of-view (FoV) modes enable comprehensive area coverage with fewer sensors
• Pedestrian monitoring: adaptive scanning modes enhance resolution and performance in crowded environments

"Working with Lumotive has enabled us to bring truly innovative perception solutions to market in record time," said Mohammad Alghaith, CEO of E-Photonics. "The flexibility and scalability of Lumotive's technology has allowed us to address a wide range of ITS use cases with a single hardware platform – this is a game-changer for smart infrastructure in Europe and the Middle East."

The collaboration between Lumotive and E-Photonics was initiated earlier this year following E-Photonics' public debut at LEAP 2025 in Riyadh. The unveiling at ITS Spain marks the first commercial product launch resulting from the partnership, showcasing the power of Lumotive's software-defined LiDAR platform in real-world ITS deployments across Europe and the Middle East.
