JMicron x KaiKuTeK 2025 Computex showcase latest hardware RAID solution and AI sensing technology
At the 2025 COMPUTEX Product Showcase, JMicron Technology Corp., a global leader in high-speed interface bridge controllers, alongside its wholly-owned subsidiary KaiKuTeK Inc., introduced a new line of ultra-fast storage bridge controller solutions. These advancements enable next-generation enclosure types and open the door to a wide range of new applications in data storage. In addition to the storage innovations, the companies also unveiled their latest breakthrough in smart sensing: a 60GHz millimeter-wave radar-based AI sensing technology, bringing exciting news for the smart home experience.JMicron demonstrated its latest high-speed bridge controller, highlighting the JMS591 and the JMB595 solution. The JMS591 (USB 3.2 Gen2 x2 & eSATA 6Gb/s to 5 ports SATA 6Gb/s), a single-chip multi-bay hardware RAID solution which supports RAID 0/1/5/10/JBOD, demonstrated that sequential read/write performance can reach 2,000 MB/s, and it can also control computer fans and a liquid crystal display module (LCM). Compared to current solutions, the JMS591 upgrades data transfer speeds, improving the stability and effectiveness of hardware RAID functions. Moreover, it is expected that the JMS591 will be adopted widely across multi-bay application such as network-attached storage (NAS), direct-attached storage (DAS), network video recorder (NVR) and digital video recorder (DVR) markets by providing a high cost-effective multi-bay RAID storage solution, while the market will continue to keep an eye on the JMS591. On the other hand, the JMB595 (PCIe Gen4x4 to 16 ports SATA 6Gb/s), a multi-bay storage solution prototype, is not only suitable for high-end surveillance and private cloud applications, but also serves as another option in the entry-level server market. Hence, the industry shows high expectations on the JMB595."Through our accumulation of technical expertise and position as a market leader, we are creating a high-speed data transfer and storage application trend, collaborating with our key clients to develop the next-generation bridge controllers," said Tony Lin, JMicron's VP of Marketing & Sales Center.KaiKuTeK unveiled its latest 60GHz mmWave radar AI sensing technology, which integrates a proprietary antenna design, advanced DSP and AI accelerators, and self-developed algorithms. This innovation brings precise target behavior tracking and positioning recognition. The breakthrough effectively addresses long-standing challenges in traditional smart home products related to human presence detection. For instance, smart electronic locks can detect an approaching person via mmWave radar and automatically activate facial recognition or other unlocking modes. Fans and air conditioners can detect user locations to adjust airflow dynamically, creating a "wind follows the person" effect or enabling personalized temperature control. Meanwhile, TVs can optimize sound staging based on viewer positioning, delivering an immersive experience. This innovation not only enables electronic devices such as electronic locks, fans, air conditioners, and TVs to interact with users more intelligently, but the streamlined design significantly reduces the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and delivers simultaneous benefits of energy conservation and carbon reduction, setting a new standard in the consumer electronics market."Our long-term focus is on integrating mmWave radar with DSP and AI to create more intuitive and intelligent human-machine interfaces," said Mike Wang, CEO of KaiKuTeK. "The adoption of 60GHz mmWave radar represents a breakthrough, not only solving smart home detection challenges but also introducing unprecedented convenience for users. We look forward to expanding this technology into industrial and IoT applications."With its leading expertise in DSP/ AI/ ML technologies and antenna design, KaiKuTeK continues to demonstrate its strong potential for technological innovation. The future of mmWave radar applications seems promising, a trend driven by rising demand for contactless technologies and intelligent automation. In response, KaiKuTeK is actively partnering with global technology leaders to fast-track commercialization efforts. The company plans to introduce a new wave of consumer products featuring this advanced radar technology in the second half of 2025. This innovation opens new growth opportunities across industries, setting the stage for the next generation of smart environments.We sincerely invite you to visit JMicron and KaiKuTeK at Courtyard by Marriott Taipei #Sea Hall during COMPUTEX.JMS591 multi-bay hardware RAID solution
