SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Seyond, a global provider of high-performance LiDAR solutions, is expanding its smart city and smart spaces solutions through advanced 3D sensing and technology collaborations. By connecting spatial data with agentic AI-powered analytics and computing platforms, Seyond helps organizations improve safety, transportation, and infrastructure operations. Growing Demand for Smart Cities and Intelligent Infrastructure Smart cities are becoming an operational priority as organizations seek real-time intelligence to improve safety, transportation and operational efficiency. According to LP Information, the global smart-city LiDAR market was valued at approximately $358 million in 2025, with a projected compound annual growth rate of 18.7%, suggesting a market of approximately $425 million in 2026. Demand for spatial intelligence now extends beyond roadways to airports, stadiums, utilities, data centers, and other critical infrastructures. These applications create opportunities to better understand movement, optimize space utilization, and improve operations. Based on industry research and internal assumptions, Seyond estimates an illustrative annual serviceable addressable market of $1.3 billion to $2.0 billion in 2026 for expanded stationary LiDAR applications outside China. This sensor-focused estimate represents potential market opportunity, not projected company revenue. Seyond: Enabling Spatial Intelligence Across Smart Environments Seyond's comprehensive LiDAR portfolio, spanning ultra-long-range to short-range sensing, supports applications from transportation infrastructure to localized indoor and outdoor environments. Its technology generates high-resolution 3D spatial data to measure vehicle movement, pedestrian flows, and environmental activity without relying on identifiable photographic imagery, providing a privacy-conscious foundation for spatial analytics. These capabilities support continuous spatial awareness across intersections, transportation hubs, commercial facilities, and public gathering spaces. Combined with AI-powered analytics and computing platforms, Seyond's sensing technology helps organizations translate physical-world data into actionable insights, enabling more responsive infrastructure and better-informed operational decisions. Expanding Technology Collaborations to Deliver Complete Operational Twin Solutions Delivering practical smart city solutions increasingly requires collaboration across sensing, computing, AI, and software. One example is the digital operational twins, dynamic digital representation of a physical environment that reflects activity and movement in real time, helping operators understand changing conditions and make informed decisions. At Smart City Expo World Congress 2026, November 3-5 in Barcelona, Seyond will participate as an exhibition partner at the Dell Technologies booth, showcasing a live LiDAR-powered operational twin. By combining Seyond's sensing capabilities with technologies from Dell and NVIDIA, the demonstration will illustrate how integrated solutions can support pedestrian-flow analysis, space utilization, and real-time operational awareness. The solution will feature a Dell Technologies system powered by the NVIDIA DGX Spark, which combines a 20-core Arm Grace CPU with an NVIDIA Blackwell GPU. Fused data from LiDAR, video, and other sensors feeds a live operational twin, giving operators a unified view of activity across the environment. The solution integrates vision AI agents built with NVIDIA Metropolis Blueprint for video search and summarization (VSS) and NVIDIA Cosmos to enhance scene understanding and support informed operational decisions. Seyond is also collaborating with AMSYS to advance integrated spatial intelligence solutions for large-scale venues and public environments. Combining Seyond's LiDAR sensing with the AMSYS Fusion Core Perception Platform, these solutions are designed to translate anonymous movement and occupancy data into actionable operational insights. In a stadium or major event venue, for example, this approach could help operators monitor crowd density, analyze queues, and identify congestion across entrances and gathering areas. These insights could support better decisions about staffing, crowd movement, and resource allocation while maintaining a privacy-conscious approach to sensing. Together, these collaborations demonstrate Seyond's expanding role in connecting advanced sensing with AI, computing, and operational software. As investment in intelligent infrastructure grows, Seyond remains focused on bringing practical spatial intelligence solutions to cities, critical infrastructure and safe spaces.

Presented at the Dell Technologies and NVIDIA booth, Stand 131, the joint exhibition demonstration will highlight the role of real-time spatial intelligence in smarter city and facility operations. The event takes place November 3-5 at Fira Barcelona Gran Via in Barcelona, Spain. Using three wide-field-of-view Robin W sensors and one fully solid-state Hummingbird D1R sensor with an ultra-wide field of view, Seyond will transform the booth into a working demonstration of an operational twin, a digital representation updated with live information from a physical space. Attendees will experience firsthand how 3D sensing connects visitor activity with a continuously updated operational view. By collaborating with Dell Technologies and NVIDIA for this Barcelona showcase, Seyond will highlight how LiDAR sensing can work alongside computing and AI technologies to turn physical activity into actionable insight. The demo will bring these complementary capabilities into an everyday setting where people moving through a shared space and illustrate their potential to support flexible operational twins across smart cities, buildings, and public venues. Turning Visitor Movement into Operational Insight Understanding how people move through a space can help operators make more informed decisions about its use. Visitor counts and traffic-flow patterns provide a foundation for evaluating circulation, identifying busy periods, and planning how a space should operate. Seyond's demo will bring this concept into a setting attendees can experience directly. As visitors move through the booth, the four-sensor setup will generate live 3D spatial data to measure traffic flow. The demonstration will show how activity on the exhibition floor becomes useful operational information, illustrating the direct connection between a physical environment and its digital representation. Importantly, Seyond LiDAR supports anonymous, PII-compliant privacy crowd tracking by generating 3D geometric point clouds without capturing identifiable facial images or relying on facial recognition. This enables operators to analyze how a space is utilized without compromising individual privacy. A Live Spatially Aware View of Smart Cities and Spaces The technology showcased on the booth floor scales directly to address broader urban and commercial environments. An operational twin provides a live, spatially aware view of a city or space by combining LiDAR, video analytics, IoT, and operational data. Bringing these sources together helps teams detect issues early, understand what is happening, and take informed action, all from a single, unified view. The approach extends from city streets and public squares to airports, retail spaces, campuses, and event venues. LiDAR contributes high-precision spatial measurements that help systems understand the location and movement of people and objects. Combined with other data sources and AI-assisted analytics, these insights help teams identify potential incidents earlier and respond with a clearer situational overview. For mobility, a clearer understanding of vehicle and pedestrian flow can inform traffic management, congestion reduction, and transit planning. Within buildings and shared spaces, insights into movement and crowding help operators manage circulation, eliminate bottlenecks, and elevate visitor experiences. When connected with environmental, energy, and resource-use information, an operational twin also supports more sustainable operations. Bringing these inputs into a shared dashboard helps city departments and facility teams coordinate their work and make better-informed decisions. "An operational twin gives teams a real-time understanding of their environment, helping them interpret what's happening and determine the best course of action," said Randy Lack, Director of Sales, Stationary Market at Seyond. "At Smart City Expo World Congress 2026, our demo will show how measuring movement in a shared space provides a foundation for safer, more efficient operations across cities and smart spaces." Visitors are invited to experience Seyond's live demo at the Dell Technologies and NVIDIA booth, Stand 131, during Smart City Expo World Congress 2026.
