PST Iris

Real-time tracking within large volumes

The PST Iris series has the largest tracking range of the PST tracking family. PST Iris is the ideal solution for tracking objects in larger working areas. It is also a good choice for situations where the PST can not be positioned close to the tracking target. It is ideal for use in measurement tasks, monitoring a working environment or larger simulation environments.
