Ouster said on Tuesday that Indra selected its 3D digital lidar sensors for global electronic toll collection projects, linking the Oust technology to tolling systems that already cover more than 3,300 lanes. The companies are now evaluating next-generation Rev8 capabilities while Ouster’s shares were up 2.88% at $39.32 on Wednesday.
Indra’s systems handle five million trips daily, giving the selection a scale that goes beyond a single deployment. Ouster said it has already placed hundreds of Rev7 sensors across the Americas and Europe, and Indra has completed more than 2,500 mobility projects across over 50 countries.
Rev7 in the Americas and Europe
Rev7 replaces legacy 2D lidar with 360-degree, long-range detection, wider lane coverage and high-resolution vehicle measurements. Ouster said the sensors are designed to work in challenging weather and lighting conditions and comply with Build America, Buy America Act requirements. For toll operators, that means the same sensor line now sits inside systems already moving traffic across multiple regions, not just in a test setting.
The commercial context also matters because Ouster reported better-than-expected third-quarter results last week. It reported revenue of 59.33 million and a loss of 20 cents per share, while Wall Street had expected 56.27 million in revenue and a loss of 24 cents per share; the company also guided fourth-quarter revenue to 61 million to 64 million.
Ouster and Indra
The next step is not a rollout date but a technical review. Ouster and Indra are evaluating Rev8 capabilities that include 3D native color sensing and advanced detection for high-speed, multi-lane, free-flow tolling applications, which sets up a second phase of decision-making before any wider deployment.
That leaves readers with a practical read on the deal: the current sensor line is already in use, the tolling footprint is large, and the newer Rev8 work is still at the evaluation stage. A separate report on transport security in Galveston appeared alongside other coverage this week, but the tolling business now turns on whether the Rev8 review becomes a purchase decision or stays in testing.
