Acusensus expands as mobile phone detection cameras go global

Acusensus will open a facility three times larger than its previous plant as international revenue surges.

Acusensus is an Australian company that makes roadside cameras that catch drivers using phones. The company will officially open a new manufacturing facility in Ingleburn, NSW on Monday.

The plant is three times the size of its previous one. The company's revenue jumped 45 per cent to $86.2 million in the past year.

International sales climbed to $22.9 million from $4.2 million. Acusensus uses radar and high-resolution cameras at steep angles.

These detect mobile phone use. AI software analyzes each image.

The systems are deployed in Australia, New Zealand, parts of the US and UK. Transport for NSW was the world's first customer in December 2019.

It extended its contract to the end of 2026 for $16 million. The company was founded in 2018 after its chief executive lost a close friend to a distracted driver.
