Ingenu, a Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) IoT connectivity startup has inked a strategic partnership with Taiwanese chip maker Compal to bring its patented RPMA (Random Phase Multiple Access) hardware to the market to meet the growing demand for IoT connectivity worldwide.
Ingenu said that it has seen tremendous global demand for its RPMA technology and solutions since announcing its global licensing strategy in February, and is rolling out these technology on its U.S.-based Machine Network™ to the first cities this spring.
With the partnership, Compal will leverage its global scale to quickly launch a rich offering of RPMA-enabled devices serving a variety of vertical industries, including asset management, transportation and logistics. The devices will include the next-generation RPMA module: the picoNode – a full-featured RPMA-enabled module that is less than the size of a quarter, allowing for increased development with smaller form factors.
According to Ingenu, utilizing the globally available 2.4 GHz ISM band, RPMA is fast becoming an appealing connectivity option for IoT application providers looking to deploy a solution with adequate bandwidth and global coverage, without the threat of ever-shifting network standards.
Ingenu CEO John Horn
Having a robust ecosystem is key to the widespread adoption of RPMA technology, and with Compal’s strategic partnership, we are primed as a company to quickly scale to address the device needs of the IoT market.
Martin Wong, executive vice president, Compal
The ability to leverage our manufacturing and engineering capabilities aligns well with the growth of RPMA networks and customers all over the world. The next generation of RPMA devices is sure to lead the way in the overall growth of the broader IoT market, and we’re pleased to partner in that effort.
