Fractus, a leader in antenna technology and IP licensing, has announced a new patent licensing agreement with RPX Corporation. This agreement expands Fractus' licensing within the U.S., targeting the connected safety devices market. These devices rely on high-performance, multiband antennas. The deal allows multiple implementers to engage under one negotiation, achieving an efficient licensing process aligned with Fractus' models.

The collaboration with RPX reflects a streamlined approach, avoiding legal entanglements and facilitating smoother transactions. According to CEO Jordi Ilario, the agreement supports the growing momentum of connected safety devices in the U.S., adding reputable providers to Fractus' network.
