About OS1 Max

Ouster OS1 Max is a Rev8 digital lidar built around the 256-channel L4 Max sensor architecture. It produces up to 10.4 million points per second, with Ouster specifying 200-metre detection on ten-percent-reflective targets and a maximum range of 500 metres. Its 45-degree vertical field of view combines dense coverage with long-distance sensing for autonomous vehicles and industrial systems.

The Rev8 architecture captures colour and depth on the same silicon, providing native-colour three-dimensional data. Ouster's software tools support viewing and working with these measurements during integration. OS1 Max belongs to the long-range end of the OS family, giving developers a sensor option where distant object detection and detailed spatial coverage are both important.

Timeline

  • Ouster and Seneca announce REV8 OS1 Max integration partnership for wildfire drones

    2026-10-01 - Partnership - The lidar is mounted at the centre of the Argo-1 mast and combines 256 channels with up to 4K horizontal resolution. Seneca previously relied on infrared sensors and cameras for collision avoidance, mapping and object detection. Seneca cited temperature qualification from −40°C to +85°C and IP68/IP69K protection in selecting the sensor.

  • Ouster validates Rev8 OS1 Max accuracy for high-altitude drone mapping

    2026-09-14 - Capability - Ouster rates the Rev8 OS1 Max at ±0.25 cm 1σ precision and ±1.25 cm accuracy, about twice the Rev7 generation, with a spot size up to 50% smaller for resolving wires from altitude. Native 48-bit RGB is assigned at the detector rather than aligned from a separate camera, eliminating parallax and a separate color-camera calibration step. GeoCue integrates OS1 Max in TrueView payloads; Seneca uses it on fire and utility flights, while Flyability is evaluating Rev8 OS0 for Elios 3.

  • Ouster supplies OS1 Max for GeoCue TrueView drone lidar

    2026-09-02 - Partnership - Ouster and GeoCue selected OS1 Max after joint flight testing and firmware tuning in Huntsville, Alabama. The 256-channel sensor provides 200 metres of range at 10% reflectivity and native color aligned to each 3D point. GeoCue's new TrueView options target customers with domestic production requirements using BABA-compliant lidar.

  • Ouster BlueCity wins 160-intersection Utah expansion

    2026-08-11 - Commercial Order - The expansion takes Utah’s contracted Ouster BlueCity footprint to nearly 300 intersections. The programme introduces Ouster’s Rev8 OS1 Max lidar with native colour and advance detection at distances up to 500 feet. Econolite integrates BlueCity detection with its traffic controllers and signal-management stack for UDOT.
