Yahoo Finance Sensata (ST) Integrates BLE With TPSM to Boost Vehicle Safety
Sensata Technologies ST has unveiled Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) for automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to tap the multi-billion-dollar vehicle sensor market.
TPMS provides the necessary data to allow auto manufacturers and their customers to precisely track and take timely action about their tire's health. This will boost tire health and enhance vehicle safety, efficiency and uptime.

Per a report by Mordor Intelligence, the automotive TPMS market, valued at $5.67 billion in 2021, is expected to reach $13.6 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of more than 13%.
BLE is most commonly found in speakers and headphones. Automotive OEMs are continuously investing in cutting-edge technology that enables hybrid and electric vehicles to be more efficient, cost-effective, robust and safe.
Sensata has developed the new BLE with TPMS to fulfill the above-mentioned requirements of these manufacturers.
Previously, TPMS was coupled with ultra-high frequency radio, which was prone to hackers due to low-safety protocols.
The new and improved TPMS will leverage BLE radio to enable two-way communication and cyber-security authentication, thus leading to a much safer system.
BLE will also improve advanced driver assist systems and augment remote diagnostics support. Drivers can enhance their driving experience and prevent a trip to the shop by downloading tire-related features and software updates via over-the-air updates.
Sensata's solution has been deployed by a North American automaker for its electric vehicles, and the company will begin manufacturing in the first half of 2023.
Sensata is a global industrial technology company that develops, manufactures and sells innovative sensor-based solutions.
The company is facing increased supply chain issues and logistics expenses due to the Russia-Ukraine war and pandemic-induced restrictions. It also operates in markets that are heavily impacted by dynamic technological advancements.
A highly-leveraged balance sheet and increasing competition from low-cost suppliers are further concerns.
Shares of ST have lost 27.8% compared with the industry’s fall of 23.4% in the past year.
