“Our partnership with P3 leverages the respective expertise of both parties. It also capitalizes on their complementary strengths,” said Jacques Issa, VP of Marketing at Lantronix. “P3 has extensive experience in delivering reliable technology to drive its In-Vehicle Infotainment OS. Lantronix’s proven hardware, with Qualcomm at the core, perfectly matches this.”
