Greenville-based Zipit Wireless has come a long way since winning the InnoVision Award for Technology Development in 2008 for their innovative Zipit Wireless Messenger products. These devices pioneered the use of Wi-Fi-based messaging and delivering “over-the-air” software updates – some of the cornerstone technologies that enable the ubiquitous computing explosion called the Internet of Things (IoT), today.
Co-Founder Ralph Heredia says, “Winning an InnoVision Award in 2008, did validate that we were on the right track with regards to our vision of a connected world. It was one of several awards and accolades that we received about our Zipit Z2 product that year and all of those added and contributed to our success and the path that we are on today.
Over the last 15+ years, Zipit has expanded its reach and impact globally to businesses worldwide and across various industries and has helped them transform their operations with reliable, wireless connectivity.
Now, having forged strategic partnerships with global mobile network operators like Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Telefonica, Vodafone, and more, Zipit is helping companies connect their products globally and capitalize on recurring revenue opportunities through subscription-based platform and service offerings.
As IoT use cases evolve and expand, businesses are increasingly relying on multiple carrier networks and technologies to create a seamless and reliable experience for their customers. Zipit, through its deep domain experience, partnerships, and industry-leading platform offerings, is well-positioned to solve the deployment, management, and billing challenges that organizations face as they enter this fully-connected future of business.
