Fractus, a leader in antenna technology and intellectual property licensing, expanded its U.S. connected safety licensing program through a new patent agreement with RPX Corporation. The deal strengthens the Fractus licensee network and supports the fast growth of connected safety devices that rely on compact, high-performance multiband antennas.
RPX Deal Boosts Connected Safety Licensing
RPX brought multiple device manufacturers into one streamlined negotiation. As a result, both companies completed an efficient licensing transaction that aligns with Fractus’ licensing model. The approach also reduced the risk of costly legal disputes.
“This RPX agreement reflects a pragmatic path to licensing at scale,” said Jordi Ilario, CEO of Fractus. He noted that the partnership highlights strong momentum in the U.S. market. It also adds respected providers to the company’s licensee community.
Demand Drives Connected Safety Growth
Demand for connected safety devices continues to rise. Therefore, companies need miniature multiband antennas that deliver reliable connectivity. These antennas power alarm panels, home hubs, cameras, wearables, and pendant devices.
Berg Insights reported 36 million active monitored alarm systems across the U.S. and Canada in 2023. Analysts expect this number to reach 42.9 million by 2028. Meanwhile, the North American medical alert user base may grow from 5.2 million to 7.5 million.
Market Expansion Creates Opportunity
The medical alert systems market shows strong financial potential. Experts forecast growth from €2.7 billion (US$2.9 billion) in 2023 to €4.1 billion (US$4.5 billion) by 2028. Consequently, companies that invest in reliable connectivity can capture new opportunities.
Overall, the Fractus RPX agreement reinforces the company’s leadership in antenna innovation. At the same time, it enables scalable connected safety licensing for a rapidly evolving ecosystem.
