German traffic and security technology specialist LASE PeCo has partnered US lidar manufacturer Ouster in a deal that will see LASE PeCo deploy Ouster’s lidar-powered smart city technologies across Europe.

LASE PeCo has already installed hundreds of Ouster OS lidar sensors in Europe, predominantly for crowd analytics at commercial sites. The new agreement will bring hundreds of additional sensor deployments and Ouster Gemini perception software licenses to its European customers.

LASE PeCo will employ Ouster Gemini across various applications such as people counting, mobility analytics, and perimeter and intrusion protection — both in public spaces and retail environments.

The Ouster Gemini perception platform combines 3D digital lidar with AI-powered software to accurately detect, classify, and track people and vehicles in adverse weather and light conditions across a single view.

The platform provides spatial awareness and data analytics in an integration with video management systems and traffic controllers. LASE PeCo customers can access their lidar data and manage custom, real-time reporting through LASE PeCo Cloud, its web-based management platform.

The data is GDPR compliant and the exclusive property of the customer.

In a recent proof of concept in western Germany, LASE PeCo deployed Ouster Gemini at urban intersections to analyse and classify traffic flows. The positive results have already led to the expansion of sensor installations throughout the city.

“For over 20 years, LASE PeCo has empowered clients with precise footfall and traffic insights — transforming data into smarter decisions, stronger KPIs, and measurable success,” said Henry Florin, CEO of LASE PeCo Systemtechnik. “Partnering with Ouster elevates our lidar solutions to the next level, delivering unmatched accuracy, real-time transparency, and powerful analytics that redefine what’s possible in people and traffic monitoring.”

“Digital lidar solutions can greatly improve the operational efficiency and safety of cities,” said Itai Dadon, VP of Smart Infrastructure at Ouster. “We are excited to bring 3D spatial intelligence capabilities of Ouster Gemini to Europe’s transportation and retail infrastructure, leveraging LASE PeCo’s strong regional expertise and commercial reach.”
