Woodrow Bellamy IIIHostThat's A-L-L-I-E-N-T.com. Can you start with just a brief introduction to Lantronix as a company and provide a sense of the type of technology you provide for military drones, robots, other platforms, as well as any other industries?
And aerospace and defense, um, you know, my customers have been calling me over the last couple years as this market in unmanned systems is emerging in the Americas and in Western Europe now, as you think about what's happening.
And why have they called us? They have primarily called us because we provide the edge compute or the brains that makes a drone see and decide what it's gonna do.
And we do that based on a, a, a system on module that's, you know, four by three centimeters, that's, uh, easily put in, and we work with a bunch of camera vendors.
Um, the Teledyne FLIR, which is, uh, based in Orange County, also big thermal imaging camera, uh, to kind of enable a system that gives the smarts to the drone.
So that's the new business in my mind in a couple years that, um, we've been working on in the aerospace and defense, but Lantronix has got a great legacy of innovation and technology.
Um, we work on IoT devices for infrastructure monitoring, where the 5G routers would be at power generators and compressors, kind of deciding when you need maintenance, what is the fuel level.
And, and the third leg of the stool, if you may, is our network infrastructure business.
Good stuff like remote management for AI data centers, things like network switches and routers and stuff like that.
I'd like you to think of s- think of us as a edge compute company with, uh, solutions that go into A&D, aerospace & defense, and infrastructure monitoring, and enterprise networking.
