SANTA ANA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$ITI #IoT—Iteris, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITI), the global leader in smart mobility infrastructure management, today announced that it has partnered with Phoenix Pacific, Inc. to expand distribution of its roadway sensors technology across the U.S. Pacific Islands regions of Hawaii and Guam.

“We are thrilled to announce the addition of Phoenix Pacific to our U.S. distribution channel,” said Mark Nogaki, vice president, sales and customer success, Roadway Sensors at Iteris. “This is an important step in our geographic expansion, and Phoenix Pacific is the ideal partner to deliver the sales and support of Iteris products due to its long history of traffic engineering expertise in the region.”
