There at the Start. Here for the Future.
Numerex Corp is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia and organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Our roots date back to the mid-1980s when we were already introducing innovative products and services within the communications industry. In July 1992, we acquired the technology referred to as “Derived Channel.” Derived Channel enables data transmission over an existing telephone line without interfering with voice communications over that same telephone line. We expanded our business primarily through the acquisition of complementary businesses, product lines, and proprietary technologies.
The company was first traded publicly in March 1994 (NASDAQ: NMRX). In November 1999, we sold the Derived Channel technology and business to British Telecommunications PLC (“BT”).
In May 1998, Numerex Corp., BellSouth Corporation and BellSouth Wireless, which became Cingular in 2001 and AT&T in 2006, completed a transaction whereby Cellemetry LLC, a joint venture between Numerex and Cingular, was formed. Cellemetry LLC provided a cost-effective, two-way wireless data communications network throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Paraguay, the Dutch Antilles, and Puerto Rico. On March 28, 2003, we acquired Cingular’s interest in Cellemetry LLC.
At the beginning of 2006, the Company further enhanced its portfolio of wireless products and services through the acquisition of the assets of Airdesk, Inc. Airdesk’s wireless data solutions, network access and technical support have been fully integrated into the Company’s operations.
In 2007, Numerex acquired the assets of Orbit One Communications, Inc which provides satellite data products and services to government agencies and the emergency service market.
In January 2008, Numerex was awarded the ISO 27001 Certification by BSI Management Systems. ISO 27001 is the highest security certification for information security that ensures data confidentiality, integrity and availability every step of the way. Respected as both an industry founder and cutting-edge innovator, Numerex remains the M2M partner known for its heritage of quality, reliability, performance and security.
