Our Story
How a four-engineer R&D studio became a vertically-integrated industrial technology company serving five continents.
Early embedded workbench · 2019
We started by solving problems no reseller could.
Industrial operators in the Gulf were running critical infrastructure on off-the-shelf hardware that was never designed for the environment, the protocols, or the scale they actually needed. When something failed, three vendors would point fingers. No one owned the outcome.
We founded NETNOVA to own the outcome — not the sale. From day one, the model was simple: a single engineering team accountable from silicon to cloud. If a deployed sensor stopped reporting, we were the ones who fixed it — at every layer of the stack.
That model turned out to be exactly what industrial operators needed — and it scaled. Today, NETNOVA is the engineering partner for 120+ deployments across oil & gas, manufacturing, logistics, smart cities, energy, utilities, healthcare and environmental monitoring.
A timeline of engineering decisions.
Each milestone below is a bet on engineering depth — not distribution, not marketing, not reseller partnerships.
The First Bench
NETNOVA begins as a four-engineer R&D studio in Dubai. First project: a custom industrial gateway for an oil & gas operator.
First Industrial Deployment
Our remote-monitoring system goes live across a 40-asset industrial site. First SLA-backed contract signed.
Embedded Systems Division
Hardware and firmware brought fully in-house. Schematic capture, PCB layout, RTOS firmware and OTA become core capabilities.
NTN / Satellite Trackers
We ship our first non-terrestrial network asset trackers — BLE + LTE + NTN — extending monitoring beyond cellular coverage.
Cloud Platform GA
The NETNOVA Cloud Platform reaches general availability — device management, telemetry, dashboards and APIs in production.
120+ Deployments
NETNOVA technology now runs across 120+ industrial deployments on five continents, serving 15 industries.
Engineering the Future
R&D investment continues to grow. The next chapter: edge intelligence, AI-driven anomaly detection and NTN everywhere.
The next chapter is intelligence at the edge.
Industrial operators no longer want telemetry. They want answers. The next phase of NETNOVA's R&D roadmap is dedicated to edge intelligence — ML models that run on the device, anomaly detection that runs without round-trips to the cloud, and NTN-everywhere connectivity that makes every asset visible regardless of geography.
The model that started in a Dubai studio in 2019 hasn't changed: a single engineering team, accountable from silicon to cloud, owning every deployment outcome. The scale has. The ambition has.
