BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fractus, a pioneer in antenna technology and intellectual property (IP) licensing, announced today a new patent licensing agreement with licensing aggregator RPX Corporation that expands the Fractus family of licensees.
The agreement reflects continued adoption of connected safety devices that depend on compact, high-performance, multiband antennas-whether installed in monitored alarm panels, hubs or home base stations, cameras, wearables, or pendant devices. By bringing multiple implementers under a single negotiation process, the parties completed an efficient, non-contentious licensing transaction aligned with Fractus' licensing models. RPX's experienced, innovative approach to dealmaking delivered an efficient licensing solution for its members and for Fractus-without wasting time, money, and goodwill on legal disputes that can hinder optimal outcomes for stakeholders.
"This RPX agreement reflects a pragmatic path to licensing at scale," said Jordi Ilario, CEO of Fractus. "This agreement underscores the momentum of connected safety in the U.S. and adds several respected providers to our licensee community."
Demand for connected safety devices is accelerating, thereby increasing the need for miniature, multiband antenna technology that supports reliable connectivity. Berg Insights estimates there were 36.0 million active monitored alarm systems in the U.S. and Canada at the end of 2023, and forecasts this will grow to 42.9 million by 2028. In medical alert systems, Berg Insights estimates the North American user base will rise from 5.2 million in 2023 to 7.5 million in 2028, with market value growing from €2.7 billion (US$2.9 billion) in 2023 to €4.1 billion (US$4.5 billion) by 2028.
