RPMA DELIVERS ON THE MACHINE BILL OF RIGHTS:
Industry Best. Security.
RPMA security is end-to-end and equal to or better than cellular-grade security in all dimensions. Our utility customers drove RPMA development with demanding requirements on end-to-end security including numerous exhaustive security audits. If our technology did not meet the federally mandated standards, our customers would be fined millions of dollars a day. Our public network customers are benefitting from that rigor.
One aspect in particular where other existing LPWA networks are falling short is in the area of authentication. Authentication entails sending a digital signature that only the valid originator of that data can provide. Imagine an attack where false data is injected into a variety of applications. Devices connected to a network that fails to support authentication are better off remaining unconnected rather than creating such an operational risk.

Twenty-plus years is a long time to commit to a particular factory-installed firmware image. Every single RPMA customer required the ability to download firmware over the air. How do you send 100 kByte to 1 MByte images to a tremendous number of endpoints without compromising the operation of the system? The solution: broadcast the firmware image to all impacted devices simultaneously.
