CTIA: Ingenu Partners with u-blox to Bring Global IoT Modules to Market

By Ken Briodagh September 14, 2016

Ingenu, in its quest to blanket the world with IoT connectivity via its patented RPMA technology, will partner with u-blox, a global wireless and positioning modules and chips manufacturer, to make the Ingenu tech even more globally available, the pair announced at CTIA.

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 M2M communication on the IoT. 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.”

u-blox develops and markets wireless modules and semiconductors for the automotive, industrial and consumer markets.

“The demand for low-power, wide-area network technologies is growing across the globe,” said Andreas Thiel, EVP and co-founder, 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.

This is yet another expansion in the ever-growing Ingenu portfolio, which includes an ambitious goal in the U.S. of connecting 30 metropolitan areas by the end of this year, with most of Texas and the Southwest already under its belt.
