On December 20, the SSC309QL smart glasses solution was released to actively lay out the 100 billion market for AI glasses.

AI glasses are an important and high-volume carrier for AI landing on the end side. Using low power technology accumulated in the field of security, the company actively lays out a new circuit for AI glasses with industry-leading ISP visual effects and advanced process SoC capabilities. On December 20, at the 2024 developer conference, the company released the SSC309QL for AI glasses. It uses chiplet technology with a built-in LPDDR4 (2Gb) highly integrated solution. The area was reduced by 24% compared to AR1 using external DDR, the width was reduced by 20%, and the SoC power consumption was as low as 30mW.

The company's AI glasses-related SoC chips have already been connected to some customers, and terminal products are expected to be launched in the second half of 2025. At the same time, the company's SSC3010 and other next-generation smart glasses chip solutions have also been put on the development schedule, focusing on better image processing, smaller packages, lower power consumption, and better AI processing capabilities, which will help smart glasses advance to the 100 billion market.

The leading domestic video security chip, covered for the first time, was given an “increase in weight” rating.

As a leading domestic video security chip, the company combines its excellent low power consumption technology, ISP technology, and SoC capabilities to actively lay out end-side AI applications, and has broad room for future growth. The company's net profit from 2024 to 2026 is estimated to be 0.253/0.351/0.483 billion yuan, respectively, corresponding to the 24/25/26 PE of 140/101/73. It was covered for the first time, giving it an “increase in wealth” rating.
