SAN DIEGO and IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Positioning Universal (PUI), a pioneer in connected vehicle technology, and Syntiant Corp., the recognized leader in ultra-low-power edge AI deployment, today announced the availability of an aftermarket telematics tracker with AI-powered sound sensing, setting a new industry standard for vehicle security, smart monitoring and operational insight.<\/p>\n

Developed using Syntiant\u2019s NDP100 Neural Decision Processor\u2122 and PUI\u2019s advanced acoustic sensors and software, the new PUI TM94 enables vehicles to actively listen, interpret and respond to their surroundings in real time at significantly lower power, expanding telematics beyond passive tracking to active environmental sensing.<\/p>\n

Building on its deep IoT and telematics expertise, PUI\u2019s proprietary acoustic sensors and embedded software work seamlessly with the NDP100 to distinguish between everyday background noise and high-risk events, such as glass breakage, metal impact and vehicle intrusion in noisy environments, without relying on cloud connectivity.<\/p>\n

\u201cTelematics has historically focused on location and driving data,\u201d said Mark Wells, CEO of Positioning Universal. \u201cBy integrating AI sound sensing, vehicles can now detect critical events like collisions or unauthorized entry attempts, giving fleets and drivers smarter, faster, and more actionable intelligence. This is a major leap forward for vehicle safety and operational awareness.\u201d<\/p>\n

A CES\u00ae Best of Innovation Award Honoree, the Syntiant NDP100 delivers on-device AI processing with up to 100x better energy efficiency than traditional microcontrollers, enabling faster, more reliable detection of critical events such as crashes, collisions or break-in attempts, while consuming minimal power and avoiding the latency and reliability issues of cloud-based solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy embedding sound sensing directly into the device, we eliminate cloud delays and bandwidth dependence, delivering instant, reliable alerts with fewer false alarms,\u201d said Mallik Moturi, chief business officer at Syntiant. \u201cThat level of precision ensures users can trust their telematics system to provide actionable intelligence whenever and wherever they need it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The AI-powered PUI TM94 sound sensing telematics device is now available. Contact Geoff Weathersby at geoff.weathersby@positioninguniversal.com<\/a> to arrange a demo or for more information.<\/p>\n
