History edit
In 2003, Pleora served as a key member of a team of 12 leading industry players who initiated development of a standard for the delivery of high-speed imaging data over Gigabit Ethernet.[1][2][3] The management of the standard later moved to the Automated Imaging Association (AIA) and became known as the GigE Vision Standard initiative. Version 1.2 of the GigE Vision standard was ratified in January 2010.[4]
Pleora's hardware and software products have received numerous awards, including the Frost & Sullivan 2007 Product Innovation Award (iPORT Connectivity Solution)[3] and Best Software in Advanced Imaging Pro's 2007 Readers Choice Awards (eBUS Driver Suite).[5]
Pleora has a global network of partners and distributors and is headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
