IRVINE, Calif. and STUTTGART, Germany, Jan. 3, 2023 — Lantronix Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRX), a global provider of secure turnkey solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) and the Intelligent IT market, and P3 Digital Services, a technology leader in In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI), together announced their partnership and game-changing technology pre-integration.
Lantronix’s proven and popular embedded in-vehicle infotainment platform is now pre-integrated with SPARQ OS, the flagship IVI software platform created by P3 Digital Services. The joint Lantronix-P3 platform affords automakers a multiplicity of benefits. Pre-integration between software and hardware accelerates time to market and minimizes technology risk. At the same time, with proven and trusted technology interoperation, the OEM can significantly save engineering and management time. The automotive manufacturer therefore can reap economies of resource and extend this lower-cost benefit to customers.
Moreover, the automotive manufacturer can bring innovative new products to market sooner and start earning revenues through the IVI platform while the OEM’s customers can be confident in a reliable, highly functional IVI platform with SPARQ OS as its foundation.
“Our partnership with P3 leverages the respective and complementary expertise of both parties,” said Jacques Issa, VP of Marketing at Lantronix. “P3’s extensive experience in delivering reliable technology to drive its In-Vehicle Infotainment OS is the perfect match for Lantronix’s proven hardware with Qualcomm at the core.”
“Our collaborative Lantronix-P3 solution is a powerful example of a best-in-class turnkey system,” said Marius Mailat, CTO of P3 Digital Services. “This is a very exciting pre-integrated platform, and we very much look forward to enabling vehicle manufacturers and their customers to benefit from this solution.”
Lantronix’s AIC Platform
Lantronix’s pre-integrated AIC is built on the Qualcomm SA8155P processor to enable a next-level automotive infotainment system.
