Irvine, CA, USA, July, 2022 -- Telit, a global provider in the Internet of Things (IoT), and Thales (Euronext Paris: HO), a global provider in Aerospace, Defence and Digital Identity & Security, jointly announced they have entered into a binding agreement under which Telit intends to acquire Thales's cellular IoT products. The intended transaction includes Thales’s portfolio of cellular wireless communication modules, gateways, and data (modem) cards, ranging from 4G LTE, LPWAN to 5G.

The intended transaction establishes California-based Telit Cinterion as a Western provider of IoT solutions, expanding the company’s presence in growing industrial IoT segments and end markets including payment systems, energy, e-health and security. It also enhances the company’s ability to respond more expertly to growing demand for cybersecure IoT solutions in modules and cellular connectivity, thanks to technologies from Thales.

Paolo Dal Pino, Telit’s CEO, remarked: "Innovation, scale and efficient IoT solutions are key for success. This transaction with Thales is arguably the most impactful one for Telit competitiveness. While it will boost our ability to address customer needs more precisely from a richer portfolio, it will also enable us to deliver all new offerings derived from the experience, expertise and the DNA of two companies that have made security and quality part of their brand promise from the very beginning."

Philippe Vallée, Thales’s EVP Digital Identity and Security, added: "The Thales and Telit combination brings together complementary strengths. The business will provide a unique value proposition in a highly competitive global IoT market and will allow Thales to focus its investments on its three core activities in aerospace, defence and security and digital identity and security. The new combination will rely on a unique set of expertise brought by Thales and Telit employees. It will also benefit from leveraging both companies’ strong and complementary product portfolio and Thales’s experience in cellular connectivity."
