FierceWireless – March 30, 2016 – Ingenu’s RPMA (Random Phase Multiple Access) network technology won over the hearts and minds of a technology services firm in Nigeria that chose it over potential alternatives like satellite and GPRS to deploy digital oilfield capabilities for a Shell Nigeria pipeline facility.
IoT Evolution – March 30, 2016 – Increased efficiency is the first major attainable advantage of the IoT, and it can deliver significant business rewards, which will lead to global energy transformation. Shell Nigeria has just reaped $1 million worth in efficiency-driven savings. This is the first step.
FierceMobileIT – March 30, 2016 – Oil giant Shell was able to save more $1 million in infrastructure investment at its Nigerian pipeline facilities by deploying an Internet of Things product provided by M2M connectivity provider Ingenu Networks and Croatian industrial electronics system provider KONČAR INEM.

Last year, Royal Dutch Shell realized a $1 million return on an $87,000 investment in digital technology to monitor oilfields in some of Nigeria’s toughest terrain. After evaluating both cellular and satellite, Shell instead chose random phase multiple access technology.
