IT Web – October 10, 2016 – Networking solutions provider Vula Telematix has rolled out what it calls the first public telecommunications network in the country exclusively for machine-to-machine communications.
The company says the “machine network” operates on universal spectrum, using patented Random Phase Multiple Access technology – a standard for connecting the Internet of things (IOT). Read more>>
T-Mobile has been refreshingly frank in its assessment of how disruptive and costly cellular technology sunsets are to end users. It doesn’t get much more direct than T-Mobile’s statement from this article:
Migrating technologies can often be expensive and include deploying skilled repair teams to swap out installed devices for LTE modules, which can cost $50 to $200 per device and up to $300 per truck roll. Those costs might not be right for every business today…
We couldn’t really have said it much better ourselves. We completely understand how important network longevity is to traditional M2M and newer IoT customers.
Company recognized for disruptive innovation and significant market traction
SAN DIEGO – October 6, 2016 – Ingenu Inc., the pioneer in delivering connectivity exclusively to machines, today announced that it has been named to the FierceWireless “Fierce 15” for 2016. The award recognizes the most innovative startups in the industry across segments of the broad wireless market, from hardware manufacturers and software companies to telecom equipment vendors, technology developers and others.
Ingenu was selected as a Fierce 15 company as a result of the significant market traction it has made since re-branding the company from On-Ramp Wireless more than a year ago. It has enjoyed immense success, despite the highly competitive LPWAN market in which it operates. The attributes of the company’s patented technology, RPMA® (Random Phase Multiple Access), its prominent leadership team, and impressive customer deployments were also cited as factors in the selection process.
“We are honored to have been named to the Fierce 15 list for 2016 by one of the wireless industry’s most influential publications,” said John Horn, chief executive officer of Ingenu. “The team at Ingenu has put forth enormous effort over the past year to significantly expand the company’s worldwide prominence, and this prestigious accolade recognizes those efforts.”
Each company on the Fierce 15 is selected by the FierceWireless editors that track countless potential candidates over the course of the year, and ultimately choose the top 15 companies that have made the greatest impact on the wireless market. To qualify, a company must be privately held, well-funded, emerging, and have the potential to be a major player in the industry. Candidates must also be based in the U.S. or conduct a significant amount of business there, as that is where the majority of the FierceWireless readership operates.

Company’s first Midwest deployment to support manufacturing, smart agriculture and other IoT applications
SAN DIEGO – October 5, 2016 – Ingenu Inc.™, the pioneer in delivering connectivity exclusively to machines, today announced the availability of the Machine Network to the greater Indianapolis market. With a coverage area of nearly 700 square miles, the network provides Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity to the Midwest’s second-most populous city, serving a population of approximately 1.2 million.
Ingenu’s Machine Network is powered by the company’s patented RPMA® (Random Phase Multiple Access) communication technology, which provides robust, reliable connectivity across a variety of operating environments. The purpose-built network will support an array of IoT and smart city applications in the Indianapolis area including manufacturing, transportation, mining waste management and smart agriculture, among others.
“Indianapolis is the first metropolitan area in the Midwest to be supported by the Machine Network, which is a testament to the smart initiatives that the market is driving,” said Tom Gregor, president and general manager of the Machine Network, Ingenu. “The scalability of RPMA enables implementation of applications as needs grow, and the opportunities that the technology brings to the region’s traditional industries is immense.”
Ingenu’s Machine Network build-out is now underway across the United States, and is targeted to serve 30 major metropolitan areas by the end of 2016. The Machine Network currently provides more than 100,000 square miles of wireless coverage for a host of IoT applications.

FierceWireless – October 4, 2016 – Why it’s Fierce: It was just over a year ago when On-Ramp Wireless announced a corporate relaunch, changing its name to Ingenu and incorporating On-Ramp’s existing Random Phase Multiple Access (RPMA) technology and networks. Since then, the company, which operates in a startup environment, has launched in several U.S. markets, including Dallas and Phoenix, and has aspirations to add many more in the coming months as it rolls out a network dedicated exclusively to machine-to-machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, dubbing itself the Machine Network.
