Ezurio is a wireless connectivity technology company based in Akron, Ohio, United States.[1] It is best known for manufacturing certified RF modules, system-on-modules (SOMs), single-board computers (SBCs), antennas, and IoT devices used in medical, industrial, and commercial applications.[2]
History
[edit]Ezurio originated in the United Kingdom in 2004 as a specialist in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi modules. The company was acquired by Laird Technologies in 2008, and its products and staff became part of Laird’s expanding connectivity division.[3]
Laird expanded its wireless capabilities through subsequent acquisitions, including Summit Data Communications in 2012.[4] In 2018, Advent International completed a take-private acquisition of Laird plc,[5] under which the connectivity business operated as Laird Connectivity.[6] The company later divested its external antenna business to TE Connectivity in 2021.[7]
In July 2022, Laird Connectivity was sold to Audax Private Equity.[8] That December, the company expanded its embedded compute offerings with the acquisition of Boundary Devices, a provider of system-on-modules (SoMs) and single-board computers (SBCs).[9]
In March 2024, the company rebranded as Ezurio, uniting its connectivity and embedded computing businesses under the historic “Ezurio” name.[10]
