Your Application – Connected by On-Ramp

Powering the M2M Revolution

On-Ramp Wireless is powering the M2M revolution by building and deploying wide-area wireless networks specifically for M2M. On-Ramp’s unique wireless solution – Total Reach Network – is designed from the ground-up for range, capacity and security. Integrating On-Ramp enables broad distribution and new sales channels for your application.

“Integrating with On-Ramp Wireless was straightforward, well supported, and opened up substantial new customer opportunities for our products.”
– Kevin Anderson, CTO, GridSense

Wide-area machine-to-machine communication is transforming industries. Smart Meters are just the beginning. The On-Ramp Total Reach Network has unmatched range and capacity and is the only network designed from the ground up for wide-area M2M and scalable enough to securely support millions of end-devices. Industry leaders are partnering with On-Ramp to build smart devices for utilty, oil & gas, transportation, asset tracking, agriculture industries.

The Connected by On-Ramp partner program enables rapid development and quick go-to-market for new devices and for new integration into existing devices. Download our developer documentation to get started building applications Connected by On-Ramp.

Designed for M2M

The Total Reach Network was designed to support millions of devices transmitting small amounts of data. The following are characteristics of applications which are well suited for integration with On-Ramp:

  1. Transmit from a few bytes to 30 KBs per day.
  2. Can tolerate 30 seconds of latency on uplink data delivery.
  3. Can tolerate a few minutes of latency on downlink data delivery.
  4. Devices that are stationary or will be moving slowly.

M2M applications that work within these constraints can take advantage of On-Ramp’s Total Reach Network to achieve:

  1. Unmatched battery life.
  2. Connectivity in challenging RF conditions including underground, remote back country or high background noise.
  3. Deployment on any On-Ramp network across the globe with a single product using globally free spectrum.

Standards Based

On-Ramp Wireless is committed to the standardization of Total Reach Network technology. In an effort to accelerate this process, On-Ramp Wireless was a founding member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE) 802.15.4K task group. Through this group, and in cooperation with other industry leaders, On-Ramp Wireless continues to move toward an open standard under the IEEE umbrella.
