Although we pursue both paths, as a real world signal processing company, we are developing a whole slew of sensor technologies on our internal processors to which we can bolt our signal conditioning technologies.
What is your major focus area currently?
Our spotlight is on healthcare (vital monitoring), automotives (ADAS), communications (5G) and industrial broadly. We have limited yet targeted focus on consumers market.
