Ingenu, formerly known as On-Ramp Wireless announced this week that it will roll out its Internet-of-Things(IoT) & Machine to Machine(M2M) network, covering 30 major metropolitan areas across the United States by the end of 2016. Once the first phase is operational, the network will serve more than 100 million users across the country, covering an area of nearly 100,000 square miles, said Ingenu.
According to Ingenu, the IoT/M2M network, dubbed as Machine Network will be powered by the company’s RPMA (Random Phase Multiple Access) communications technology, operating at 2.4 GHz.
The initial rollout of the IoT/M2M network will launch in the Southwestern metropolitan areas of Phoenix, Arizona, 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.

The Machine Network provides an ideal alternative to devices and applications that are currently connected via 2G cellular networks which will be ‘refarmed’ in the coming months to make way for higher bandwidth cellular technologies, which are not ideally designed for M2M/IoT connectivity.
Thierry Legrand, SVP Sales EMEA, NAGRA
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.
