Telit acquires GainSpan to extend end-to-end IoT solutions reach

Embedded WiFi 분야에서 선도 업체 중 하나인 Gainspan의 합병 소식 입니다.

Gainspan은 꾸준히 인수/합병 루머가 있기는 했는데, 결국에는 Telit이 가져갔네요...

Telit은 꾸준히 몸집을 키워온 M2M 통신 분야의 글로벌 밴더 중 하나로, 주로 Cellular, BLE, GPS, GNSS 등의 M2M 모듈들을 취급하고 있습니다.

국내 IoT 전시회에도 꾸준히 나오고 있었고, LTE-M, NB-IoT 분야에서 국내 통신사들(SKT, LGU+, KT)의 유력한 파트너이기도 합니다.
