Profile
Produces mobile hotspots, fixed-wireless routers, IoT devices and cellular modules, alongside JEXtream management software and Quvo family tools. All reported revenue belongs to a single wireless-access-products segment and comes overwhelmingly from North America.
Builds 4G and 5G mobile hotspots, fixed-wireless routers, enterprise gateway equipment, and IoT/M2M devices. JEXtream provides cloud-based remote device and network management, while Quvo adds parental-control and senior-care functions. A newer Sigbeat venture designs and certifies cellular modules with on-device AI functions.
Sales come principally from wireless-access products sold to carriers, OEMs, distributors, and consumers, with revenue overwhelmingly generated in North America. Management is shifting emphasis from legacy hotspots to fixed-wireless routers and telecommunications modules after a major customer reduced hotspot demand. Carrier approvals and distribution support commercialization of network-specific devices, while two independent Asian manufacturers produced most products.
