“With the approval of the laser scanner system Jenoptik is the only manufacturer in the world offering all important sensor technologies for traffic monitoring. This allows Jenoptik to offer its customers in Germany and the rest of the world customised technologically flexible solutions,” says Michael Mertin, CEO of Jenoptik.
