American Marconi Wireless News - MicroVision and Blue-Band Forge Exclusive Strategic Alliance to Deliver Next-Generation Intelligent Transportation Solutions

REDMOND, WA / ACCESS Newswire / October 19, 2026 / MicroVision, Inc. (NASDAQ:MVIS), a leader in advanced perception solutions for industrial, security and defense, infrastructure, and automotive applications, today announced an exclusive strategic alliance with Blue-Band LLC, a leader in intelligent transportation software and real-time traffic system integration, to deliver a complete lidar-powered smart infrastructure solution to the intelligent transportation system market.

As an important part of its commercial growth strategy, the alliance expands MicroVision's ITS capabilities and accelerates revenue generation by delivering scalable, cost-effective solutions for transportation agencies and infrastructure operators.

"Smart transportation infrastructure represents a compelling and near-term commercial opportunity as the industry demands complete solutions that can be deployed and scaled," said James Byun, Chief Commercial Officer of MicroVision. "By combining our advanced lidar portfolio, both short- and long-range, with Blue-Band's ITS expertise, we are expanding our market reach now and strengthening our ability to convert growing demand into revenue-generating opportunities, all while contributing positively to our bottom line."

Transportation agencies face increasing pressure to improve roadway safety, manage congestion, and modernize aging infrastructure while balancing budgets and integrating existing systems. Together, MicroVision and Blue-Band intend to address these challenges by combining advanced lidar sensing with intelligent infrastructure software to deliver actionable traffic intelligence and support more responsive transportation networks.

Moving Beyond Detection to Intelligent Infrastructure

MicroVision's portfolio of short- and long-range lidar technologies supports a wide range of sensing requirements. Integrated with Blue-Band's intelligent infrastructure capabilities, these technologies can enable solutions across three key applications:

• Intersection Intelligence and Traffic Optimization: Monitoring vehicle, pedestrian, and cyclist movements, turning patterns, and changing traffic conditions to support responsive traffic signal operations and data-driven traffic management.
• Incident and Hazard Detection: Identifying roadway obstructions, unexpected vehicle movements, and potentially hazardous conditions to improve situational awareness and support faster response.
• Scalable Infrastructure Modernization: Delivering flexible, interoperable sensing solutions that complement existing infrastructure and support cost-effective modernization across transportation networks.

A Differentiated Approach to Intelligent Transportation

Unlike solutions built around a single sensor architecture, MicroVision's strategy offers a broad portfolio of sensing technologies and perception capabilities that can be configured to meet application-specific requirements for range, field of view, performance, power consumption, and cost.

Blue-Band's intelligent infrastructure platform complements these capabilities by connecting sensing technologies with intersection analytics and traffic management systems, transforming real-time environmental data into actionable intelligence.

Together, the companies aim to deliver complete, flexible, integrated ITS solutions that enable transportation agencies to modernize infrastructure without sacrificing interoperability, performance, or scalability.

"Blue-Band was built to help transportation agencies make their infrastructure smarter, safer, and more responsive," said Kevin Yorke, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Blue-Band. "Our alliance with MicroVision combines our intelligent transportation expertise with their comprehensive and cost-effective portfolio of short- and long-range lidar sensors and advanced perception capabilities. MicroVision is the right partner to help us deliver scalable, high-performance solutions that provide customers with greater visibility, actionable intelligence, and better real-time decision-making."
