Ingenu, formerly known as On-Ramp Wireless, is a provider of wireless networks. The company focuses on machine to machine (M2M) communication by enabling devices to become Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
Ingenu was founded in 2008 as On-Ramp Wireless; by the end of 2014, it was valued at $72 million, according to data from PitchBook. [1]
On September 1, 2010, the World Economic Forum announced the company as a Technology Pioneer for 2011. [2]
On April 4, 2011, Bloomberg announced the company as a 2011 New Energy Pioneer. [3]
The company was renamed to Ingenu in September 2015. [4] Initially, the company focused on utilities, but in 2012 expanded to the gas and oil industries. [5] The Ingenu brand launch in September 2015 coincided with the announcement of a network dedicated to machine connectivity. [6]
Using the free 2.4 GHz ISM bands, Ingenu’s hardware has been tested at over a 30-mile range in the 2.4 GHz free ISM band while maintaining low power operation. It is optimized for robustness, range and capacity. [7] [8]
As of September 2015 [update] the company had operations in 20 countries. [9]
Ingenu uses the name random phase multiple access (RPMA) for patented technology used in its network. [9] [10] RPMA is used in GE's AMI metering. [11] RPMA is also used for oil and gas field automation, or digital oilfield. [12] The technology includes network appliances, the microNode radio module, a reference Application Communication Module for development platform, and a general I/O device. [13]
In September 2015, Ingenu announced a public network exclusively for machines supported by RPMA technology. [9] [10] [14] The network will begin in the US, and as of the launch had 55,000 square miles. [9] The company planned to cover Phoenix and Dallas by the end of 2015 with coverage across the United States complete by the end of 2017. [10] [15] The Machine Network also has coverage in Europe, starting with nationwide coverage of Italy, through a partnership with Meterlinq. [16]
Ingenu has private, regional, machine-to-machine networks. [4] [9] [14] One of these networks is owned by San Diego Gas & Electric. [9] At the announcement of the Machine Network, Ingenu indicated it would continue to support and pursue private networks. [4]
