With the current Essentia Wifless™ ESS Products Line, the Essentia next 3 years Business Objective is to achieve a worldwide market share of the 5%, valued around 40 millions USD.
This challenging business objective is possible thanks to the state-of-the-art IP68+IK10 solution engineering, and thanks to the exceptional key features that the Company has developed within its wireless operating system.
The Heuristic Radio QoS and the High Performance Radio Multicast are only two of the major proprietary protocol stacks made to deliver outstanding VoIP, IPTV / Video Streaming and Video on Demand services also optimized for Video Surveillance applications.
However, to achieve the goal is needed to invest in “visibility” and brand “recognition” and to create a good and efficient international sales organization.
For this reason Essentia is looking first for investors that would support the company grow to the international sales.
In addition, Essentia would also develop new products that could extend and complete the company portfolio also to some Wireline solutions. Among these most hot planned developments, we can highlight: LTE micro- and pico-Base Station, IP MPLS Smart Switch/Routers with CWDM capability, G-PON OLT and ONT solutions.
To do these new developments Essentia is looking also for investors that would support the company grow financing new products developments and operation on new market segments.
