The new funding will enable the Hod Hasharon based company to make inroads into the automotive industry with its HDBaseT technology. This latest funding round will also allow Valens to speed up time to market, develop additional products per market demands and support customers with design and development projects.
Valens introduced its HDBaseT Automotive technology in 2016 to address the challenges of the connected car, including the increasing amount of bandwidth and wiring necessary to cater to infotainment and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems needs.
