Enterprise market consolidation continues with RPA buy

NEW YORK-Wireless enterprise company Antenna Software Inc. announced it acquired mobile systems integrator RPA Wireless Inc. for an undisclosed sum. Antenna said the move creates a combined company with more than 90 enterprise customers and thousands of users worldwide.

Antenna offers its A3 mobile enterprise applications as a hosted solution to companies of any size. The product helps businesses manage an enterprise-wide mobile deployment, including multiple devices, carriers and networks. RPA manages network connections to a variety of wireless carriers.

“This is an exhilarating moment in the history of both companies,” said Jim Hemmer, Antenna Software’s chief executive officer. “Together with RPA Wireless, Antenna Software now offers a complete suite of true, end-to-end mobile solutions that bring a track record of proven success to an exciting, emerging marketplace. Now companies of all sizes can leverage Antenna and RPA’s combined 25 years of mobile enterprise experience helping organizations become more productive and profitable.”

In other acquisition news, Scanbuy Inc. said it acquired intellectual property from International Wireless Inc., a move the company said will improve its scanning and bar code reading technology. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Scanbuy recently announced its new ScanZoom application, which the company said allows camera-phone users to scan bar codes.
