Ingenu Partners with u-blox to Bring Global ISM Band IoT Modules to Market

Leading supplier of communications and positioning products announces significant roadmap investment in RPMA technology

CTIA Super Mobility, LAS VEGAS – September 7, 2016 – Ingenu Inc., the pioneer in delivering connectivity exclusively to machines, and u‑blox (SIX: UBXN), a global leader in wireless and positioning modules and chips, today announced a strategic partnership that will enable the next generation of Ingenu’s patented RPMA (Random Phase Multiple Access) technology to serve global opportunities in the Internet of Things (IoT) market.

The two companies have agreed that u-blox will develop and manufacture products supporting RPMA technology. RPMA is a low-power wide-area channel access method used exclusively for machine-to-machine (M2M) communication on the Internet of Things (IoT). And, because RPMA utilizes the globally available 2.4 GHz ISM band, one radio module can serve applications throughout the globe, providing the scale and cost benefits to enable partners with a profitable option to bring IoT solutions to market. The u-blox modules feature extended temperature range and will allow for simple integration of positioning services.

“u-blox is highly regarded in the wireless module market, and this partnership will open a range of possibilities for our technology,” said John Horn, CEO, Ingenu.  “Ingenu’s collaboration with u-blox will further the success we have realized in the IoT space, and will provide our valuable partners with significant advantages to develop solutions based on RPMA technology.”

With headquarters in Thalwil, Switzerland, u‑blox develops and markets wireless modules and semiconductors for the automotive, industrial and consumer markets. The u-blox nested form factor allows customers to maintain form factor and software continuity to easily upgrade their products with each new generation of modules. u-blox is focused on connecting devices to the Internet of Things and optimizing applications for machine-type communications, which enhances the synergies of the partnership between the two companies.

“The demand for low-power, wide-area network technologies is growing across the globe,” said Andreas Thiel, executive vice president and co-founder of u-blox.  “We believe that Ingenu has superior technology to support growth of unlicensed spectrum technologies, and we are looking forward to a long-term partnership to address the needs of this market, while continuing to maintain our leadership position in developing products for the licensed spectrum.”

Launch of the first module is expected in Q4 2016.

Both companies will be exhibiting at the CTIA Super Mobility show taking place at the Sands Expo in Las Vegas, September 7-9, 2016.  Please visit u-blox at booth #4845 and Ingenu at booth #5849.  For information on CTIA Super Mobility, visit www.ctiasupermobility2016.com/ or @CTIAShows on Twitter.

Ingenu and PodsystemM2M Announce First Strategic Partnership for Distribution of RPMA Technology

PodsystemM2M expands its cellular IoT connectivity offering into the LPWA space with Ingenu’s RPMA technology

San Francisco and San Diego – August 25, 2016 – Ingenu Inc., the pioneer in delivering connectivity exclusively to machines, and PodsystemM2M, the expert in connectivity for the machine-to-machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) industries, have today announced a strategic partnership that will enable both companies to expand their connectivity offering to the M2M and IoT market in the US and beyond.

PodsystemM2M will be the first distribution partner of Ingenu’s RPMA® (Random Phase Multiple Access) technology designed specifically and exclusively for wireless machine-to-machine communication. This signifies an important strategic move for PodsystemM2M, whose M2M/IoT connectivity solutions have, until now, been based on cellular technology. This agreement will allow PodsystemM2M to expand its solution portfolio into the Low-Power, Wide-Area (LPWA) space, opening up new opportunities in rapidly expanding verticals such as smart cities and smart grids, as well as providing a reliable, scalable, and above all, long-term alternative to cellular connectivity for customers across all sectors.

“The decision by most US cellular carriers to sunset their 2G networks has highlighted the need for systems integrators and applications developers to build agnostic solutions that can be quickly adapted to changes in the market,” commented Sam Colley, CEO of Podsystem Inc. “PodsystemM2M is committed to providing connectivity solutions that will help its customers achieve this goal. The addition of Ingenu’s RPMA technology to our range of multi-network and multi-IMSI cellular services will give customers the ability to build flexible and future-proofed applications.”

“Ingenu’s partnership with PodsystemM2M will provide IoT application developers with a powerful alternative to cellular connectivity,” said John Horn, CEO, Ingenu.  We look forward to collaborating with PodsystemM2M as we expand the global reach of RPMA technology across a variety of industries.”

PodsystemM2M and Ingenu are closely aligned in that both companies have a strong focus on research and innovation. PodsystemM2M’s mission since its inception in 1999 has been to investigate and develop new ways of giving the control of the connectivity back to its customers. Ingenu’s RPMA technology has been designed specifically with these requirements in mind and the result is a technology that provides unprecedented coverage, capacity and scalability, extreme battery life, full-featured value, and decades of network longevity. With its use of one global wireless band and design exclusively for machine-specific communication, Ingenu ensures that devices on its RPMA network can remain untouched in the field for decades.

Ingenu Announces Machine Network Expansion in Texas

Addition of Austin, San Antonio and Houston markets provides machine connectivity to over 50 percent of state’s population

SAN DIEGO – August 17, 2016 – Ingenu Inc.™, the pioneer in delivering connectivity exclusively to machines, today announced the expansion of its Machine Network™ to Austin, San Antonio and Houston, Texas.  The addition of these markets to the previously announced Dallas/Fort Worth area network will provide Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity to over 50 percent of the Texas state population, covering more than 8,300 square miles of major metropolitan areas, along with tens of thousands of square miles of existing rural coverage.

Ingenu’s Machine Network is powered by the company’s patented RPMA® (Random Phase Multiple Access) communication technology, which provides robust, reliable connectivity across a variety of operating environments.  Due to its superior range and capacity, RPMA requires minimal infrastructure investment.  As a result, the three densely populated Texas markets are served by a mere 27 RPMA access points, which is magnitudes less infrastructure than would be required with cellular networks.

“Austin is a creative, innovative city where people come from all over the world to turn their good ideas into reality,” commented Steve Alder, Austin City Mayor. “This type of machine-to-machine connectivity will get Austin that much closer to becoming a truly smart city.”

“Austin, San Antonio and Houston are leading the country in growth and technology adoption, and the availability of the Machine Network in the region will bring exciting new innovations to market,” said Tom Gregor, Ingenu’s president and GM, Machine Network.  “The addition of these cities will augment existing IoT applications in the area and will eventually result in truly ubiquitous coverage throughout the Southwestern region of the US.”

The Machine Network build-out is now underway across the United States, and will serve more than 30 major metropolitan areas by the end of 2016.  The Machine Network currently provides more than 100,000 square miles of wireless coverage for a host of IoT applications.
