"Our RTLS solution securely shares and reports location to the cloud. Its application could vary from patient safety solutions in the medical industry to asset tracking in manufacturing. On the other hand, our laser sensor distance measurement using ToF allows longer distance measurement with increased speed and accuracy," says PathPartner Senior Vice President Raman Narayan. "The possibilities for applications of these solutions are innumerable, and we have proven expertise in customizing, as well as giving a definitive shape, to any idea by the OEMs and ODMs."

"PathPartner's choice of ST components in their real-time location system, precision measurement, and contactless smart-card solutions speak to the top-notch quality, performance, and reliability of our products," said Tony Keirouz, Vice President IoT Strategy, Ecosystem and Partnerships, STMicroelectronics. "Announcing these solutions at the ST Developer Conference will give them broad exposure to leading industry experts and influencers at this important event covering Smart Things, Smart Driving, Smart Home and Smart City for the IoT."
