Indra Selects Ouster Rev7 Sensors for Electronic Tolling Projects Managing 3,300 Lanes Globally
Key Facts
Ouster announced on November 10, 2026, that Indra selected its Rev7 3D digital lidar sensors to enhance detection capabilities in its electronic tolling projects. Ouster said Indra has already deployed hundreds of the sensors across the Americas and Europe, making the announcement an extension of existing use. Indra's tolling systems manage more than 3,300 lanes worldwide and process 5 million trips a day, according to Ouster's statement. Indra said Ouster's sensors outperformed all other systems it evaluated during testing and field deployment. It added that this performance made them the "clear choice" for its upcoming global projects.
The Rev7 selection marks a shift from 2D lidar to 3D sensors, according to Ouster's statement. The sensors provide 360-degree detection over long range, along with high-resolution data. The company said these capabilities expand lane coverage and enable Indra's systems to capture vehicle size and count accurately. According to the company's description of the sensor's capabilities, this information supports monitoring operations in toll lanes. The statement did not disclose the agreement's financial value or a specific order volume tied to the selection. It also did not announce a delivery schedule or expected financial impact on Ouster.
Ouster said its sensors are designed to operate reliably in adverse weather and lighting conditions and are built for long-term use. The company said its solutions and sensors comply with the requirements of the "Buy America, Build America" Act for U.S. transportation infrastructure. As background to Indra's expansion, the Spanish company said in March 2026 that its stop-free tolling system integrates 3D lidar, machine vision, artificial intelligence and vehicle communications. Indra said its system can automatically detect, classify and track vehicles, including at high speeds and in varied weather conditions. In May 2026, it said the I-485 corridors in North Carolina became the first operational deployment of connected-vehicle tolling in the United States.
Indra describes the scope of its intelligent tolling business as covering more than 3,300 roads in 20 countries, processing more than five million electronic transactions a day. Ouster's statement cited a different measure of the tolling systems' reach, saying they manage more than 3,300 lanes and process 5 million trips a day. Ouster said Indra is also exploring the capabilities of its next-generation Rev8 sensor. Areas under study include 3D color sensing and advanced detection for high-speed, free-flow, multilane traffic applications. The statement did not announce a selection of Rev8 for the projects, so its use remains under exploration, according to the company.
Ouster shares closed at $38.22 on November 10, according to EL7 data. They had closed at $38.57 on November 9, after recording $34.8 on November 6, $30.52 on November 5 and $33.54 on November 4. In results announced on November 3, the company reported third-quarter revenue of $59 million, up 50% year over year and 9% from the previous quarter. Product revenue was $56 million, up 42% year over year and 6% sequentially, and Ouster said customers in the industrial and robotics sectors primarily drove the increase. It also reported shipping more than 27,000 lidar sensors and cameras, while posting a GAAP net loss of $14 million.
Ouster forecast total revenue of between $61 million and $64 million in the fourth quarter of 2026. Chief Executive Angus Pacala said in the earnings statement that hundreds of customers have already selected Rev8 for mission-critical applications, and that the company expects deliveries to accelerate during 2027 as it ramps initial production. That places Indra's exploration of the new sensor generation within a broader expansion path described by Ouster, without establishing an order from Indra for Rev8. The company confirmed Rev7 as the selection in its November 10 announcement. Ouster did not specify the impact on revenue or orders.
