Ouster Physical AI solutions: Ouster Gemini and Ouster BlueCity.
Ouster doubled software-attached bookings in 2025, reflecting accelerated commercial adoption of its lidar-powered Physical AI solutions. The Company expanded contracted deployments for Ouster Gemini and Ouster BlueCity to more than 1,200 sites worldwide, collectively spanning over 65 million square feet of roadways, critical infrastructure, and commercial facilities. Ouster Gemini, its 3D digital lidar perception platform for transportation, logistics, security, and crowd analytics, will be deployed at over 550 sites around the world, while Ouster BlueCity, its turnkey traffic management solution, will be deployed at nearly 700 sites.
"In 2025, we doubled software-attached bookings, expanded deployments to more than 1,200 sites globally, and enhanced our AI capabilities," said Ouster CEO Angus Pacala. "These achievements reflect growing demand for Physical AI at enterprise scale and position Ouster for continued software growth within the smart infrastructure vertical."
Built on NVIDIA's accelerated computing platform and leveraging the NVIDIA Metropolis ecosystem, Ouster's Physical AI solutions deliver the high-performance edge processing needed to transform complex lidar data into real-time, actionable insights for smarter, safer infrastructure at scale.
Key Highlights for 2025:
- Enterprise Expansions: Secured a seven-figure annual software license agreement for Ouster Gemini with a leading global technology company to improve throughput, operational efficiency, security, and worker safety at logistics yards through real-time 3D perception and analytics.
- Tennessee: Awarded a multi-million-dollar contract by the City of Nashville, in partnership with Southern Lighting & Traffic Systems, to deploy Ouster BlueCity at more than 100 intersections for intelligent traffic signal actuation. Earlier in 2025, Ouster secured a contract to power the largest lidar-enabled smart traffic network in the United States in Chattanooga, expanding Ouster BlueCity to more than 120 intersections.
- Utah: Received an expanded contract with Econolite from the Utah Department of Transportation to deploy Ouster BlueCity to over 100 intersections following a successful pilot.
- New Jersey: Awarded a contract with Signal Control Products from the New Jersey Department of Transportation to deploy Ouster BlueCity at more than 40 highway sites and ramps to improve congestion management and city planning ahead of the FIFA World Cup.
- Europe: Signed a multi-million-dollar agreement with LASE PeCo, marking Ouster's largest software-attached sales contract in Europe, to deploy Ouster Gemini for smart city, traffic, and crowd analytics applications.
To capture a greater share of the $19 billion market opportunity for smart infrastructure, Ouster further advanced its proprietary AI model, added new software capabilities, and expanded its commercial reach globally. Specifically, the Company:
- Advanced AI Model: Trained Ouster's proprietary multi-sensor AI model on over 4 million objects collected from over 800 sites across diverse environments and weather conditions, improving detection accuracy, efficiency, and long-term object tracking for high-density deployments to unlock larger-scale installations.
- Launched Gemini Cloud Portal: Enabled customers to centrally configure, manage, and monitor lidar deployments, real-time analytics, and event recordings through a secure web-based interface, supporting scaled deployments across hundreds of sites and thousands of sensors.
- Released Gemini Events: Delivered a no-code tool enabling customers to build custom logic for applications such as intrusion detection, zone occupancy monitoring, and automated alerts, expanding use cases without increasing engineering overhead.
- Expanded Strategic Partnerships: Expanded software partnerships to cover nearly all of North America and integrated Ouster Gemini into Constellis' LEXSO platform to accelerate adoption across complex security environments.
