Sierra Wireless has entered into an exclusivity agreement for the acquisition of Sagemcom’s M2M business. The proposed acquisition remains subject to completion of the consultation process with employee representatives.

Sagemcom, a leading French high-technology group active in broadband, telecom, energy and document management, was an early entrant in the M2M market. The company has built a growing M2M franchise that includes 2G and 3G wireless modules, as well as rugged terminals for GSM-R applications.

“Combining Sagemcom’s M2M business with Sierra Wireless is a unique opportunity for us to enter new markets and bolster our leadership in wireless M2M communications,” said Jason Cohenour, president and CEO of Sierra Wireless. “With a strong market position in key segments, a culture of innovation and experienced teams based in Paris and Shenzhen, Sagemcom M2M is a suitable fit for Sierra Wireless.”
