Rigado was founded in 2010 with a focus on low-power wireless design and engineering. The team was one of the first to develop large-scale solutions with the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) protocol, and established a reputation for outstanding wireless performance. In 2014, Rigado began applying that BLE expertise to create their own pre-certified BLE modules for IoT designs - helping companies reduce the time, cost and risk of IoT product development. Seeing an opportunity to provide full stack IoT services and solutions, in 2016 Rigado merged with Rivetry, a Portland software company specializing in IoT applications. Keeping the name Rigado, the company continued to manufacture high-quality BLE modules while providing enterprise IoT design services - and began focusing more on the emerging 'Commercial IoT' market for large-scale Bluetooth and wireless solutions. In 2017, Rigado launched their line of flexible IoT gateways and moved firmly into the fast-growing Enterprise IoT segment. Today, Rigado sits at the forefront of wireless connectivity Edge Computing - powering key commercial applications such as asset Tracking, sensing & monitoring and smart building solutions. The Rigado Edge-as-a-Service solution provides companies with flexible and secure device-to-cloud edge data networks, offered as a cost-effective annual subscription.
