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]
The Machine Network
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]
