The Award Honors Solutions that Contribute to Networks Providing Secure, Reliable, and High-Speed Connectivity for Mission-Critical Applications and Services

SALT LAKE CITY—August 12, 2025—Monnit announced today that its ALTA^® Private Wireless IoT Network Platform won a 2025 IoT Evolution Private Wireless Network Innovation Award from IoT Evolution World, the leading publication and website covering Internet of Things (IoT) technologies.

The award helps prove that Monnit is a driving force behind the deployment of private wireless networks—those networks built and operated by private organizations, such as vertical enterprises, governments, utilities, public safety agencies, agriculture, healthcare, educational institutions, and more.

The winning submission described how the ALTA Private Wireless IoT Network Platform contributes to networks providing secure, reliable, and high-speed connectivity for mission-critical applications and services, such as IoT devices, video surveillance, and remote monitoring.

"We're thrilled to be recognized for how we help our customers benefit from long-range wireless IoT data communications," said Monnit Founder and CEO Brad Walters. "They depend on our ALTA Private Wireless IoT Network Platform to efficiently collect and secure their sensor data while conserving power and boosting frequency interference immunity."

"The solutions selected for the IoT Evolution Private Wireless Network Innovation Award exemplify the growth and development of the private wireless networking ecosystem," Carl Ford, Community Developer, IoT Evolution World.

"It is my pleasure to recognize the ALTA Private Wireless IoT Network Platform, an innovative solution that earned Monnit the 2025 IoT Evolution Private Wireless Network Innovation Award," said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. "I look forward to seeing more innovation from Monnit in the future."

The Expansive Monnit ALTA Long-Range, Low-Power Private Wireless IoT Network Platform

The demand continues to grow for long-range, multi-frequency wireless IoT data communications. This expanding must-have for many organizations also comes with the caveat that they can't compromise on power efficiency and frequency interference immunity.

IoT applications in vast, complex landscapes such as agriculture, industrial, and smart cities require a strong signal with low noise. It's crucial to reliably transmit IoT data over long distances, through many walls, and around machinery or other obstacles.

The Monnit ALTA^® Long-Range, Low-Power Private Wireless IoT Network Platform features 80+ ALTA Wireless Sensors with Monnit ALTA and ALTA XL^® Wireless IoT and Ethernet Gateways and iMonnit™ IoT Monitoring Software.

Since Monnit serves customers across nearly every industry, we continually refine and strengthen our ALTA Private Wireless IoT Network Platform to offer extended data communication capabilities, unlocking the full potential of IoT applications.

An Innovative Wireless IoT Platform

At its core, the ALTA Private Wireless IoT Network Platform operates on Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology, providing greater signal interference tolerance and a wireless range of one mile at a height of one meter above the ground.

In industrial and commercial settings, the platform enables our wireless IoT networks to transmit data from up to 100 ALTA Sensors to an ALTA XL Gateway over distances of up to 2,000+ feet (non-line-of-sight) through 18+ walls.

The platform also features:

• Industry-leading impairment immunity from physical obstructions, external wireless radio frequency systems, and electromagnetic interference (EMI)
• Seamless, reliable, and efficient deployment in complex, expansive environments
• Security is also built-in with Monnit Encrypt-RF™—a sensor-to-gateway, secure wireless tunnel—featuring Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman 256-bit key exchange and 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)

A Monnit Private Wireless IoT Network combines the capabilities of our secure ALTA and ALTA XL IoT Cellular and Ethernet Gateways, ALTA Sensors, and iMonnit Sensor Configuration and Monitoring Software. You can set up a simple wireless IoT network within 15 minutes to monitor critical assets and conditions from nearly anywhere.

Sensors are easy to install on or near what you're monitoring. You don't need programming or IT experience beyond installing the iMonnit app on your smartphone. You can easily configure the sensors in the app and then review and analyze IoT data on a mobile device, laptop, or desktop PC.

Extend Long-Range Wireless IoT Communications

ALTA XL Gateways feature a powerful wireless transceiver with up to 1-watt transmission strength and an amplified receiver, creating agile connectivity for Monnit ALTA Private Wireless IoT Networks. They represent the extended long-range wireless evolution of Monnit's ALTA Radio platform, offering flexible connectivity for creating private wireless IoT networks in various commercial, industrial, rugged, and remote environments.

Transmit IoT Data on an Advanced Cellular Engine with Greater Wireless Reach

In addition to the extended wireless range, ALTA XL IoT Gateways feature 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) Category M1 (CAT-M1) and NarrowBand-Internet of Things (NB-IoT) 2 (NB2)—4G LTE CAT-M1/NB2. This cellular technology, combined with a powerful transceiver and receiver, ensures resilient, long-range IoT data communications on the factory floor, in the office, at remote locations, or where IT infrastructure is dedicated to other resources.

ALTA XL IoT Gateways and iMonnit Software collaborate to connect, protect, aggregate, configure, and communicate ALTA Sensor data. A Monnit Global Gateway 5-MB SIM Card works worldwide to connect to the best cellular network for your locations automatically. This makes sensor data accessible virtually anytime, anywhere. If your preset conditions change, the gateways play a crucial role in sending sensor notifications from iMonnit via text, email, or voice calls.

Seamless Ethernet Data Transmission Over a Stronger Wireless Signal

The ALTA XL Ethernet Gateway allows ALTA Wireless Sensors to communicate with iMonnit without needing a PC. Simply provide power and plug the gateway into an open Ethernet port with an Internet connection. It automatically connects with our online servers, providing the perfect solution for Internet-enabled commercial locations.

It's an advanced gateway that powers fast and reliable IoT data solutions. Specifically designed to meet the growing market demand for global technology, the ALTA XL Ethernet Gateway easily accommodates various vertical and remote wireless IoT applications.

Strong Security is Built-In

Monnit Encrypt-RF enforces security protocols that allow the ALTA XL Gateways to:

• Not run on an off-the-shelf, multi-function operating system.
• Operate on a purpose-specific, real-time, embedded state machine.
• Prevent hackers from running malicious processes.
• Stop hackers from using active interface listeners to access the gateways over a network.
• Protect your data from attackers and avoid serving as a relay for malicious programs.
