LISNR already possesses a wide base of customers such as retailers, commercial facilities, plants, and automotive manufacturers. In the future, LISNR's technology is expected to be used in even more fields such as financial services, mobility & ridesharing.


LISNR possesses an advanced IP portfolio in the area of ultrasonic technology that is highly praised by its existing customers for data transfer speed and strong security.
