VTI Technologies at CES 2009 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas

What if sensors were so small and consumed such low levels of power that you could use them virtually anywhere? Welcome to meet us at VTI's suite: North 6427MP, where we will demonstrate our newest 3-axis accelerometer, indoor pedestrian navigation or dead reckoning, the latest in our gyro technology and other exciting applications using our inertial sensors and specially developed algorithms.

Indoor Pedestrian Navigation using sensors at CES 2009

VTI Technologies will demonstrate a novel MEMS-based pedestrian navigation solution at CES. The small wearable device can track the position, speed and distance of a pedestrian. It relies solely on the information provided from the sensors within the device, and is thus ideal for navigating in areas when there is no GPS reception, such as indoors.

Enabled by VTI's Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology and proprietary algorithms the system uses a VTI ultra-low power 3-axis accelerometer for computing the pedestrians speed and distance. Drawing a mere 10µA of current it is the world's least power consuming 3-axis acceleration sensor, making it ideal for use in small battery operated devices.

Strengthened Customer Service in North America

VTI's regional sales team in USA, Rick Russell, Michele Gyuricska and Juha Lahtinen, received new members to the team recently to support and develop VTI's customer and market operations in North America.

Scott Smyser and Allen Pangaro (in the picture) have integrated well into the team and will for their part guarantee VTI's continued growth.

VTI served its customers well in 2008

Improvements needed to reach excellent rates

VTI's customers are generally satisfied with VTI's products and services. The recently completed Customer Satisfaction Survey indicated that while customers mainly appreciate VTI's way of meeting customers' needs, there are still some opportunities for improvements.
