Wireless IoT Made Easy At GainSpan, we’re powering the next wave of the Internet of Things (IoT) with wireless connectivity solutions that turn everyday products into intelligent communicating devices.

In fact, we have more than 1,000 customer projects, with millions of units in use across the globe. Our end-to-end solutions make connected devices easier to develop, faster to get to market and simpler to set-up and install. At the heart are GainSpan’s certified modules, based on our GS2000, an ultra low-power single chip SoC, which supports both Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n) and 802.15.4. The GS2000 includes a feature-rich networking stack. We also supply application development kits (ADK) or reference designs to speed up customer product development. The ADK consists of hardware, embedded firmware and mobile apps. A spin-off of Intel, we’re backed by top VC firms and strategic investors, and are partnered with leading MCU manufacturers, other semiconductor companies, ODMs and design houses –all who share our vision. A vast network of distribution partners delivers our solutions around the world. Help shape the next 50 billion IoT devices with us! We offer the opportunity to work with a team of exceptionally smart people, in a fast-paced, innovative environment.
