On August 6th, according to the data of Tianyancha, on July 31st, Smartway, a domestic CIS image sensor chip design company, added a number of shareholders, including Hubble Ventures Co., Limited. ), and this company, like Hubble Technology Investment Co., Ltd., is an investment company under Huawei. This also means that Huawei’s layout in its key security field has gone a step further.
According to the data, Smartway Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. was founded in 2011. It is a high-performance CMOS image sensor chip design company. It is headquartered in Shanghai, China, and has offices in Beijing, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Hong Kong, Hsinchu, San Jose, and other cities in China. With R&D center and sales office.
SmartVision focuses on providing future-oriented and world-leading CMOS image sensor chip products, with many original technologies including full-color night vision technology, DSI technology, global exposure technology based on voltage domain architecture and Stack BSI process. Committed to providing customers with high-quality video solutions, products cover security monitoring, vehicle imaging, machine vision and consumer electronics (action cameras, drones, sweeping robots, smart home cameras) and other application fields. Since 2017, Smartway Technology has maintained the No. 1 global market share in the field of CIS product security for two consecutive years, and has made remarkable achievements in emerging fields such as machine vision and artificial intelligence applications.
It is worth noting that in June this year, Smartway acquired Shenzhen Allchip, an emerging high-tech company located in Shenzhen focusing on the design and product management of CMOS image sensors for automotive cameras. The chips it produces It is very competitive in vehicle cameras and other miniaturized video surveillance applications, and has a variety of SOC series image sensor products independently developed and mass-produced.
Obviously, Huawei’s investment in Smartway will further improve its layout in the security field and the stability of its supply chain.
