Fractus and Geotab settle U.S. patent litigation. Jul 27, 2026, 02:30 ET Additional agreements reinforce Fractus' role in the IoT technologies ecosystem BARCELONA, Spain, July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Fractus, a pioneer in antenna technology and patent licensing, today announced that it has reached a settlement with Geotab, resolving the patent infringement litigation filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The terms of the agreement are confidential. The settlement is an important milestone for Fractus in the connected fleet and transportation market. It brings an end to the dispute with Geotab and confirms the relevance of Fractus' patented antenna technology in IoT applications where reliable wireless performance is essential. Fractus also welcomes the growing list of its IoT licensees, which further strengthens Fractus' position in the IoT ecosystem and demonstrates the growing value of its technology in fleet management, cargo visibility, and mobile asset monitoring. Fleet telematics and cargo tracking are expanding quickly as transportation and logistics companies look for better visibility, safety, compliance and efficiency. According to Berg Insight, fleet management systems in active use in North America are forecast to grow from 19.2 million units at the end of 2024 to 33.2 million units by 2029. Berg Insight also expects the global installed base of tracking devices for trailers, containers and other cargo-carrying units to grow from 13.8 million units in 2024 to 26.9 million units by 2029. In these markets, antenna performance is more than a technical specification. Connected devices must communicate across networks, frequency bands, countries and difficult operating conditions, often within space-constrained designs installed on vehicles or other mobile assets. Fractus' patented antenna innovations help enable the compact, high-performance, multiband connectivity that these IoT devices require. "We are very pleased to have reached this resolution with Geotab and to see Fractus' technology gaining further recognition in the IoT market," said Jordi Ilario, CEO of Fractus. "Fleet management, trailer monitoring and asset tracking are clear examples of how wireless connectivity is transforming transportation. These recent agreements are an important validation of our innovation, and they encourage us to keep building constructive licensing relationships with companies that value strong technology and intellectual property." About Fractus Fractus is an early pioneer in the application of advanced geometry and mathematics to antenna design. The company's patented innovations enable compact, high-performance, multiband antennas used across smartphones, IoT devices, network infrastructure, connected health and transportation applications. Fractus holds a portfolio covering more than 40 inventions and licenses its technology to leading companies across the wireless ecosystem.

Marketplace spotlight: redefining fleet security with Matrix iQ. Bridging the invisible gap between vehicle telematics and high-value assets. |CEO, Matrix iQ Jul 15, 2026 Step inside the office of any modern fleet manager, and you will likely see digital efficiency in action. High-definition screens map out vehicle locations in real time, algorithms optimize delivery routes, and driver safety scores update by the second. Every day, high-value generators, specialized tools and vital plant equipment represent a massive operational investment. Securing them with an asset tracker adds an essential second layer of protection. By tracking the assets themselves, fleet managers gain complete visibility that ensures both the transport and the valuable asset are fully accounted for during complex logistical handoffs. Geotab and Matrix iQ have partnered to bridge this gap, ensuring that fleet managers can choose a solution that extends visibility from the vehicle directly to the high-value assets they carry. The blind spot of modern telematics. When Geotab Inc. entered the space in 2001, the industry was treating vehicles and assets as two entirely separate entities. Fleet tracking was thriving, but asset tracking was broken. Traditional solutions relied on bulky, conspicuous hardware that thieves could spot and remove in seconds. Worse, they depended on rigid, proprietary GPS networks that failed the moment an asset was pushed into a concrete warehouse, a shipping container, or a remote dead zone. Geotab Inc. realized that giving a fleet manager a map of their trucks wasn't enough if they were still losing sleep over the cargo. True operational visibility requires connecting the vehicle, the driver, and the equipment into a single, cohesive ecosystem. To solve this, its development team threw out the old hardware playbook. Geotab Inc. looked at how seamlessly consumer tracking networks functioned and engineered a professional-grade equivalent. By designing hardware that taps into the massive global network, Geotab Inc. eliminated the traditional blind spots. Geotab Inc. shrunk this immense capability into its Tag iQ device. It's roughly the size of a business card. Small enough to go unnoticed, smart enough to know exactly where your assets are. Security measured in millions. The real-world implications of this technological shift are massive. Security is about knowing where an item sits on a map and protecting the operational continuity of a business. * £90+ Million Secured: Across the UK, US, and Europe, enterprises trust its ecosystem to safeguard their most vital operational components. * Rapid High-Value Recovery: When a crisis hits, speed is everything. Its live tracking recently allowed a customer to pinpoint and successfully recover over €100k in stolen assets before the loss could impact their daily operations. The power of one screen: Matrix iQ + Geotab. Data is only valuable if it surfaces exactly where decisions are being made. Forcing a fleet operator to log out of their primary management platform to check a separate asset-tracking app creates friction, and friction delays action. This reality is what makes its partnership with Geotab so vital. Matrix iQ brings asset intelligence directly into the MyGeotab platform. Instead of viewing vehicle data and asset data in silos, operators get a unified, context-rich environment. Now, when a fleet manager reviews a vehicle's route or utilization, they can see the exact status of the high-value equipment assigned to it right alongside. It transforms asset tracking from a reactive, recovery-focused insurance policy into a proactive tool for daily inventory management, precise utilization analytics, and robust theft prevention. Taking control: A smarter approach to your operation. Achieving total operational clarity doesn't require a massive infrastructure overhaul. It starts with three strategic steps: * Unify Your Infrastructure: Activate Matrix iQ within your existing MyGeotab ecosystem to instantly eliminate the divide between your vehicles and your equipment. * Deploy Covert Protection: Protect vulnerable, high-value assets with ultra-thin, low-profile tracking technology that avoids detection by unauthorized personnel while maximizing global coverage. * Turn Location into Logic: Use your new centralized data to analyze asset utilization, optimize equipment deployment, and drastically reduce the downtime caused by misplaced inventory. Future-Proofing fleet operations. The transportation and logistics landscape will only continue to grow more complex. As supply chains tighten and asset costs rise, leaving critical equipment unmonitored is a risk fleets can no longer afford to take. At Matrix iQ, its experts are continuously developing longer-lasting, deeper integrated solutions designed to keep your business moving forward safely. Stop letting your most valuable assets operate in the dark.
