GainSpan

GainSpan designs ultra low-power Wi-Fi modules for battery-powered, embedded WiFi applications. The job it does: connecting machines, sensors and robots to software that controls or monitors them.

Who is it for? Mostly manufacturers and operators. They also list Battery, Embedded Systems, Internet of Things, Manufacturing and Semiconductor, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a mid-sized product team themselves (51 to 200 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best.

GainSpan is based in San Jose, California and founded in 2006. More on gainspan.com.
