WellAware Rolls Out On-Ramp Wireless M2M Platform
Internet of Things Journal – May 22, 2015 – With oil prices slumping, producers in the United States are seeking ways in which to improve efficiencies and reduce costs. To help them along, San Antonio-based WellAware offers a technology platform consisting of sensors and communication networks that enable oil and gas companies to prioritize their inspection operations while reducing the labor and resources needed to carry out safety checks. WellAware announced this week that it is now providing On-Ramp Wireless’ long-range, lower-power communication network hardware and connectivity to its oil and gas customers operating across 55,000 square miles of the most active U.S. oil and gas fields.

The Smart Technology Blog – May 4, 2015 – As the Internet of Things comes of age, San Diego’s On-Ramp Wireless may be one of the prototypical companies to emerge among a wave of IoT technologies known as low-power wide-area networks. In contrast to bandwidth-hungry wireless networks that require high power to drive video streaming and other high-volume data applications, low-power networks are intended to connect inexpensive devices that only need to occasionally “chirp” bursts of data. Think of electric and water meters, smoke alarms, parking meters, streetlights, traffic sensors, building controls, energy management systems, location tracking devices, and industrial sensor networks.
