QUALCOMM has acquired Chicago-based nPhase, a provider of machine-to-machine solutions that allow enterprises to manage and monitor widely dispersed, fixed machine assets, for an undisclosed sum.
Machine-to-machine solutions allow enterprises to manage and monitor business-critical machine assets within two categories: fixed machine assets, such as cellular towers, gas pipelines and assembly line robotics; and mobile assets, such as truck fleets, heavy equipment and transportation.
nPhase specializes in fixed-asset machine-to-machine technology. QUALCOMM serves the mobile machine-to-machine market.
