The LPWA Shakeout: Real Performance Matters
Real Performance Matters
We at Ingenu™ have never been shy about the fact that we are the only LPWA solution capable of serving the IoT over the long term. We have repeatedly emphasized that in order to support the IoT, low-power, wide area (LPWA) wireless technology needs to be sufficiently capable. It is inevitable that as the burden of millions and then billions of devices rest upon the various LPWA technologies, those that aren’t capable of serving the IoT’s needs will fall by the wayside.
We Know What It Takes
What does it take to serve the IoT’s needs now and in the long run? It takes:
- Spectacular robustness and range, like RPMA® demonstrated recently in Chile and in the 2011 Southern California blackout
- True-two way communications
- Ability to provide more than 20 years of battery life like WellAware is getting
- Interference robustness
- Incredible business value
- Real and functioning coverage
- Longevity, both for the network and the device itself
- Enough capacity now, and as needs grow
Solid Engineering
RPMA has been around since 2008. It isn’t a borrowed technology or conveniently built on someone else’s chip. It was honed by demanding (and paying!) customers to meet real world needs. There is no question RPMA works, works well, and provides real value.
The engineers who designed RPMA hail from Qualcomm and deeply understand RF technology and that real performance matters. They created a technology that addresses real world challenges and conditions. They created RPMA to provide robust wide area coverage with enough capacity for tens to hundreds of thousands of devices.
Experienced Leadership
Ingenu’s management team and board is one of the most experienced in the M2M and telecom industry. With industry veterans from the founding CEO of Verizon and former Verizon CTO as well as Qualcomm cofounder Andrew Viterbi, we speak not only with technical merit, but business experience. Our CEO created the M2M business as T-mobile which later became an immensely successful independent company.
From day one, Ingenu has been built to bring business value to our customers by providing an unrivaled wireless machine connectivity solution.
