The company is headquartered in Mountain View, California and was founded in 2012.[1] The Company received 4.9 million dollars in 2014 in a funding round from True Ventures,[2] USV and Cane Investments. Veniam's technology is being used in Porto's city buses with about 230,000 users with onboard units (OBUs) installed on over 600 buses, taxis and garbage trucks.[3] They aim to equip many moving things with wireless hotspots creating a mesh that could be used to build sensors to turn the city smarter.Each vehicle is equipped with a NetRider, a multi network unit with Wi-Fi (802.11p), DSRC, GPS and 4G/LTE connectivity.[4] Veniam was acquired by Nexar in 2022.[5]
