KYOCERA @ CES 2026

Kyocera’s Underwater Wireless Optical Communication (UWOC) is a next-generation marine ICT technology that enables high-speed, high-capacity data transmission by minimizing underwater optical attenuation. This solution provides stable, real-time transmission of high-definition video and sensor data, enhancing the efficiency of marine surveys with Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), improving the accuracy of structural inspections, and accelerating scientific discoveries during marine research.
Additionally, Kyocera will demonstrate world-leading 5Gbps transmission capacity that will help advance UWOC and underwater IoT.

Kyocera has developed a distance measurement camera with three lenses and proprietary AI. This camera measures distances precisely for objects as small as 0.30mm, and for challenging targets such as metals, translucent materials, and flexible linear objects that are difficult for two-lens cameras. Enhanced depth and distance recognition allow more applications, such as factory measurement of parts, wire harnesses, and cables. In medical environments, the system more accurately identifies human anatomy and instruments, helping address labor shortages and improving operational efficiency. Visitors to Kyocera’s CES booth can compare its recognition accuracy with that of conventional products.

Kyocera’s High-Resolution mmWave Sensor detects minute object vibrations, enabling 4D sensing: velocity, distance, horizontal direction, and vertical direction relative to the target. Using proprietary substrate material technology and unique algorithms, the sensor acquires precise spatial information and enables clear object detection. This next-generation solution balances privacy with safety, and has anticipated applications ranging from autonomous driving support and healthcare monitoring to structural surveillance.

Building on sensing and optics, the new optoelectronic integrated module, OPTINITY^®, integrates an electrical wiring board and optical technologies to convert electrical signals to optical signals and vice versa for twice the bandwidth of the last generation. This enables optical transmission of PCIe^® signals, previously limited to electrical transmission within server equipment. By enabling faster, more energy-efficient, and space-saving data exchange, the module allows data centers to handle higher workloads and emerging applications in generative AI and autonomous driving.

Kyocera’s Phased Array Antenna Module (PAAM) is designed to enhance next-generation autonomous driving, environmental sensing, and industrial automation by emitting multiple beams in various directions and frequencies for broader coverage and faster detection. For optimal beam steering and directivity, Kyocera employs Rohde & Schwarz CATR (Compact Antenna Test Range)-based multi-reflector Over-the-Air (OTA) testing technology.
