Riverside Public Utilities Selects Ingenu’s Machine Network for Smart City Initiative

Public RPMA network to serve as IoT connectivity backbone for California city’s electricity distribution infrastructure

SAN DIEGO – April 27, 2016 — Ingenu™, the pioneer in delivering connectivity exclusively to machines, today announced that the City of Riverside, California, has selected Ingenu’s Machine Network™ to provide network connectivity for the city’s electricity distribution infrastructure.

The Machine Network, a public Internet of Things (IoT) network powered by Ingenu’s patented RPMA (Random Phase Multiple Access) technology, provides considerable benefit to Riverside Public Utilities and its municipal customers by bringing secure and scalable coverage, while enabling comprehensive monitoring of the electrical grid, and reducing the time it takes to isolate and repair outages on the network. The city is the first customer on The Machine Network in Riverside.

“The Machine Network enhances the city’s ability to deliver reliable energy to its over 108,000 residential and business customers and allows for rapid identification and resolution of outage events,” said Girish Balachandran, Riverside Public Utilities general manager.  “Ingenu’s RPMA technology provides us with an efficient and powerful solution for electricity distribution monitoring today, and can be scaled to meet our diverse needs into the future.”

The Machine Network utilizes the city’s existing infrastructure to deploy the network access points, which connect a variety of RPMA-enabled devices. The city is currently utilizing devices such as fault circuit indicators to ensure reliable communication for critical power distribution, and has the ability to add applications as requirements change, without the need for additional network investment.

“The City of Riverside is taking an innovative step towards becoming a smart city, starting with the adoption of RPMA technology via the Machine Network,” said Tom Gregor, Ingenu’s President and General Manager – Machine Network. “As a municipal energy provider, Riverside Public Utilities is able to provide a distinct advantage for its utility customers while also enabling the rapid development and deployment of various IoT applications. We are pleased to be collaborating with Riverside in providing best-in-breed technology for monitoring their valuable utility assets.”

Ingenu’s Machine Network is the first nationwide wireless public network dedicated entirely to Internet of Things and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) connectivity.  The network is currently operating on 38 private networks across the globe, with construction underway on nationwide public networks in more than 20 countries.

Ingenu and the City of Dallas Announce Availability of Machine Network Built Specifically for IoT Traffic

With only 17 access points, Ingenu’s RPMA technology provides machine connectivity to the greater Dallas/Fort Worth area

SAN DIEGO & DALLAS– April 13, 2016 – Ingenu™, the pioneer in delivering connectivity exclusively to machines, and the City of Dallas, Texas, today announced the deployment of Ingenu’s Machine Network™ in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Immediately available, the Machine Network will provide IoT (Internet of Things) connectivity to the region and will cover approximately 2,116 square miles, serving a population of more than 4.4 million people.

The Machine Network is powered by Ingenu’s RPMA® (Random Phase Multiple Access) communication technology, which provides robust, reliable connectivity across myriad operating environments.  As a result of its superior range and capacity, RPMA requires minimal infrastructure investment, with only 17 access points delivering connectivity to the entire Dallas/Fort Worth region. Conversely, it would take 10 to 30 times the cellular infrastructure to provide similar coverage.

“The Dallas/Fort Worth metro area is leading the country in technology innovation, and we are excited to have Ingenu’s powerful network enabling IoT connectivity in our community,” said William Finch, Chief Information Officer, City of Dallas. “The Internet of Things is an important technology strategy for the region, and the Machine Network will accelerate the deployment and adoption of limitless IoT solutions.”

Application development for the Machine Network is currently underway with partners such as Dallas-based, Plasma, a leader in enterprise digital transformation and IoT.  The company is partnering with Ingenu to support various Smart Cities initiatives. Plasma’s C2M™ (www.connect2.me) is a code-free, enterprise-grade IoT platform that allows rapid prototyping and deployment of IoT and mobile solutions. The platform’s vast set of built-in functionality such as connectivity, device management, big data storage, analytics, machine learning, visualization, event management and business workflows make it a very comprehensive and powerful platform.

Ingenu will also be collaborating with the developer community in the Dallas/Fort Worth area through its sponsorship of the HackDFW hackathon event, taking place April 16-17, 2016, at Gilley’s Dallas. Ingenu will be awarding a cash prize to the competitor for the “Best Use of RPMA Technology”. For detailed information on the HackDFW event, visit www.hackdfw.com.

“The greater Dallas/Fort Worth area is one of the most machine-dense areas in the country,” said John Horn, CEO of Ingenu. “Because of its strong ties to the IoT-rich technology, oil and gas, and transportation industries, Dallas/Fort Worth is a natural fit to turn on the first segment of the Machine Network as we continue the buildout across the country.”
