BOARD AND ADVISORS
WHO WE ARE
We are pioneers in silicon photonics and sensory technology. With years of experience in these fields, we combine our strengths to deliver the next generation of inertial navigation sensors.
OUR MISSION
Advancements in technology are always around the corner. But there's a major void that has yet to be filled - where high-quality meets low-cost in navigation sensors. We believe that access to high-performance sensors can and should be democratized for every possible application. Our mission is to fill this void. Even better - we’ve developed something so compact, it can fit almost anywhere.
