Devices, systems and methods for operating a rear-facing perception system for vehicles are described. An exemplary rear-facing perception system contains two corner units and a center unit, with each of the two corner units and the center unit including a camera module and a dual-band transceiver. A method for operating the rear-facing perception system includes pairing with a control unit by communicating, using the dual-band transceiver, over at least a first frequency band, transmitting a first trigger signal to the two corner units over a second frequency band non-overlapping with the first frequency band, and switching to an active mode. In an example, the first trigger signal causes the two corner units to switch to the active mode, which includes orienting the camera modules on the center unit and the two corner units to provide an unobstructed view of an area around a rear of the vehicle. 1. A method for operating a rear-facing perception unit in a vehicle , the rear-facing perception unit comprising two corner units and a center unit , each of the two corner units and the center unit comprising a camera module , a dual-band transceiver , and a power module , the method implemented on the center unit , the method comprising:pairing with a control unit, wherein the pairing comprises communicating, using the dual-band transceiver, over at least a first frequency band;transmitting, upon successfully pairing, a first trigger signal to the two corner units, wherein the first trigger signal is transmitted over a second frequency band non-overlapping with the first frequency band; andswitching, subsequent to transmitting the first trigger signal, to an active mode,wherein the first trigger signal causes the two corner units to switch to the active mode,wherein the power module comprises a battery,wherein the camera module of the center unit comprises a fisheye camera, andwherein the active mode comprises orienting the camera modules on the center unit and the two ...
