BRUSSELS — Laird Technologies Inc. has announced that it has acquired Ezurio Ltd., a privately-held company and supplier of Bluetooth and 802.11 (WiFi) embedded RF modules, as well as M2M (Machine-to-Machine) solutions for wireless data communication applications serving the retail, automotive, health care, and other market segments including EPOS (Electronic Point of Sale).
The acquisition of Ezurio aims to enhance Laird Technologies' position in the supply of customized wireless communications systems for customers who want their products to communicate wirelessly but do not have an internal wireless development group.
Ezurio's sales revenues in the 12 months ending 31 December 2007, were approximately $8 million — an increase of 24 percent over the same period in 2006.
"Laird Technologies continues to broaden its range of electronic components and systems offered to customers, both through acquisition and organic growth," according to Laird Technologies CEO Martin Rapp.
