Ingenu Launches National IoT Machine Network in US

By Ken Briodagh November 24, 2015

Ingenu, a connectivity provider exclusively for machine networks, recently announced the initial rollout of its Machine Network, which will cover 30 major metropolitan areas across the U.S. by the end of 2016.

Once the first phase is operational, the company said that its Machine Network will be the nation’s largest exclusive IoT and M2M network, with more than 100 million users and covering an area of nearly 100,000 square miles.

The initial rollout will launch in the Southwestern metropolitan areas of Phoenix, Ariz., which serves approximately 3.1 million consumers of M2M technology covering more than 1,800 square miles, and Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas which serves approximately 4.5 million consumers covering over 2,000 square miles. It is powered by the company’s Random Phase Multiple Access (RPMA) communications technology, currently operating on more than 38 private networks across the globe.

“The metropolitan areas of Phoenix and Dallas/Fort Worth were selected for the initial deployments due to the prevalence of current IoT applications operating in those locales, such as transportation, utilities, industrial monitoring, security and public infrastructure,” said Tom Gregor, president and general manager, public networks, Ingenu. “The Machine Network provides an ideal alternative to devices and applications that are currently connected via 2G cellular networks which will be [phased out] in the coming months to make way for higher bandwidth cellular technologies, which are not ideally designed for M2M/IoT connectivity.”

The rollout of the network will continue throughout 2016, expanding from regional coverage to over 600 national sites across the U.S. To find out when the Machine Network will be available in your area, use Ingenu’s Network Coverage Deployment Tool.

“As we introduce the Machine Network to major markets across the country, we are delivering on the rollout plan that we announced earlier this year,” said John Horn, CEO, Ingenu. “Ingenu’s RPMA network is ready for virtually any IoT/M2M application and we anticipate that developers and technology partners alike will take advantage of all the benefits that the technology offers such as unprecedented coverage, greater capacity and system longevity.”

Horn will be a keynote speaker at the upcoming IoT Evolution Expo in January 2016 in Ft. Lauderdale, where he will talk about the limitations of LTE for IoT and M2M purposes.
