Next generation cloud-based, horizontal IoT connection gateway provides secure connectivity, data collection and management of RPMA-enabled devices across the globe
IoT Evolution Expo, LAS VEGAS – July 12, 2016 – Ingenu™, the pioneer in delivering connectivity exclusively to machines, today announced the availability of Intellect™, the next generation of its secure, cloud-based, horizontal IoT (Internet of Things) device management platform. Intellect serves as the connection gateway and management platform for Ingenu’s Machine Network™ in the U.S., and its Global Licensee Network in the rest of the world. Both the Machine Network and the Global Licensee Network are powered by the company’s patented RPMA® (Random Phase Multiple Access) technology, which provides low-power, wide-area connectivity for the IoT.
The Intellect platform enables immediate network control, as it allows IoT devices to quickly join the RPMA network and become active within minutes. Intellect’s cloud-based design provides network operators and application partners with a rich suite of capabilities for managing devices and data, including: provisioning, data usage reporting, alerts and notifications, advanced billing, enhanced diagnostics and seamless device replacement.
“With the exponential growth of IoT applications, intelligent management of the accompanying IoT devices is essential,” said Joshua Builta, vice president, product management at Ingenu. “Intellect takes device management to a new level by enabling immediate on-boarding of devices, which is not available with current competitive solutions. We are excited to provide our network operators and ecosystem partners with this next-generation tool to realize all the benefits that RPMA offers.”
Network operators utilizing Intellect can immediately create and manage partner accounts, including assigning rate plans and monitoring usage for each device partner on the network. Additionally, customizable news feeds can be disseminated for notification of maintenance, network and payment alerts, or marketing news.
Intellect allows for easy integration of vertical applications with Ingenu’s software ecosystem partners. Intelligent application program interfaces (APIs) provide end-to-end authentication and scalability to support millions of IoT devices on the RPMA network.

IoT Evolution (TMC) – July 7, 2016 – The Internet of Things (IoT) needs a strong backbone to support the volume and diversity of devices, applications and platforms that are coming online. Companies developing applications want to deliver them to the widest available market, and companies deploying IoT devices and solutions want to be able to utilize the same ones in Berlin and Hong Kong as they do in Los Angeles. A ubiquitous solution benefits everyone. Read more>>
Recently, Ingenu has been sponsoring a number of technology hackathons throughout the country. Aside from the electric atmosphere, free food and awesome swag, there are several reasons why we participate in these events.
Exposure to new technologies – First and foremost, hackathons encourage the development of new solutions. Our RPMA® (Random Phase Multiple Access) technology is a powerful driver of IoT connectivity, and the development of devices for our ecosystem is essential to the progression of the Machine Network™ and our global licensing strategy. When we initially launched the Machine Network in the Dallas/Fort Worth metro area, we utilized the live network to spur development at the HackDFW event. We ultimately awarded Team Recycle Wars top honors for their cool recycling game solution which was quickly developed with our rACM Development Kit.
Meeting with industry peers – Industry networking is also an important part of hackathon participation. At each event, we have the opportunity to interface with industry leaders and technology partners. During the LA Hacks event at UCLA, our award winner, Team tre3 (Trash Relocation Efficiently Eliminating Excess) created a smart garbage can solution to manage waste levels in city trash receptacles which struck the interest of the City of Los Angeles for support of its smart city initiative, a prime market focus for Ingenu. Additionally, during these hackathons we have cultivated relationships with professional development partners which will further enhance our network ecosystem. This was the case at the AT&T Hackathon where Team Canary developed a gas sensor solution created by an established consulting firm, Slalom Consulting.
