How it started: A Meeting at CeBIT Hannover 2011

In 2011 Wim Schotsman and his son—representatives of Analyze Direct—met with the booth crew of Suntech, the company that would later become   ST SUNLAB   , at the CeBIT trade fair in Hannover. During their search for high-quality Zigbee solutions, they quickly noticed that the Korean technology was qualitatively superior.

“The quality and reliability of the devices immediately instilled confidence. We knew: we can rely on this.”

This initial meeting marked the beginning of a long-term collaboration that quickly expanded to GPS and IoT tracking.
