The first commercial deployment of the company’s technology, which can be applied to virtually any application, will be a connected vehicle solution developed with Sprint that delivers secure, high-speed passenger Wi-Fi to pre-owned vehicles that can reach 5G speeds. Dubbed the NXM Wave, it will be available from select US auto dealerships beginning this quarter.

“Autonomous security is the key to deploying the billions of connected devices that industry analysts are predicting in coming years,” said Scott Rankine, Co-founder and CEO, NXM Labs. “Our software enables devices to manage their own security, eliminating ‘man-in-the-middle’ and other types of attacks that increasingly put our personal and national security at risk. NXM ensures the trustworthiness of devices and the data they produce, providing advanced analytics capabilities and protection of private, confidential information that conforms to all international standards.”
