Low Power Radio Solutions (LPRS) has announced the appointment of Nick Pummell as Managing Director

Pummell joins from Alpha Micro Components, a successful independent franchised distributor of components for Telematics and Machine-to-Machine (M2M). He brings over 12 years’ experience in strategic business development and partner acquisition, and will play a key role as LPRS strengthens its focus on expanding its product portfolio.

As MD, Pummell will take charge of the overall business and commercial offerings, and as well as expanding the product portfolio, will also drive market penetration. Nick has many years’ experience of introducing wireless network integration to OEMs, design houses and engineers, and has particular interests in Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications.

Nick comments, “I am really excited to join the LPRS team and continue to build on its success to date”.

Former MD Barry Gillibrand will be stepping aside as Pummell takes over all operations. Gillibrand comments, “This is an exciting time for LPRS. Gaining worldwide radio approvals (FCC for U.S.A, I.C. for Canada and E.T.S.I for Europe) on our latest modules, the easyRadio Integrated Controller (eRIC) transceiver and the easyRadio Advanced (eRA) transceiver, is key for us in our strategy to develop our presence in international markets. LPRS have established a reputation for providing reliable solutions with a trusted service throughout our 25 years of supplying to the wireless market and I am delighted that Nick Pummell will be leading the future direction with his wealth of experience in the market.”
