Eagle Wireless, an Ohio-based provider of secure, reliable, and scalable cellular, GNSS, and short-range wireless modules for automotive and IoT, has raised $30 million in Series B funding. The company offers products like 5G RedCap (I5255C-NA), 5G automotive (AG555Q-GL), LTE Cat 1-6+, Wi-Fi 6E/BT 5.3 modules with full regulatory compliance. The new capital will accelerate R&D efforts and U.S.-based device production.
Reshoring Modules Amid Supply Chain Shifts
This funding lands amid escalating U.S. efforts to onshore critical technology manufacturing due to geopolitical risks. Eagle Wireless formed in December 2025 via Eagle Electronics' acquisition of Wireless Mobility, positioning it as the only Western vendor scaling automotive and IoT modules. Its drop-in compatibility and domestic focus address de-risking needs for global deployments.
OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and IoT developers face supply disruptions, certification hurdles (FCC, ISED, PTCRB, GCF), and cybersecurity threats from overseas-dominated module supplies. Automotive V2X/telematics and IoT sectors like asset tracking, smart metering, and remote monitoring demand reliable, compliant connectivity. Traditional providers falter on lead times and alignment with U.S. policies like the Connected Vehicles Rule.
Eagle Wireless delivers with U.S.-Ohio manufacturing, Western-aligned supply chains, and Finite State-vetted cybersecurity. Automotive modules support high-speed LTE Cat 6+ and 5G Sub-6GHz SA, while IoT options cover LPWA to RedCap for efficiency. Unlike Asia-based competitors such as Quectel, Eagle ensures faster time-to-market and reduced geopolitical exposure.
The Series B, with backing from The O.H.I.O. Fund, signals strategic validation for reshoring in connectivity hardware. This growth capital aligns with Eagle's expansion to serve more OEMs amid rising demand for secure modules. It underscores a shift from cost-focused imports to resilience-prioritized domestic production.
Eagle's partnerships with AT&T Connected Solutions and Geotab demonstrate market traction. The landscape favors players offering compliance and security, as IoT proliferates across vending, payment systems, edge devices, and fixed wireless. Eagle's global R&D network in NA, Europe, and APAC bolsters innovation.
Ex-CEOs and CIA Expertise Lead Charge
Eagle Wireless' leadership features ex-CEOs from Quectel and Gemalto, plus a former CIA head of technology. This team brings proven scaling experience and secure deployment know-how to dominate Western module markets.
Doubling Staff Scales U.S. Production
Currently 51-200 employees strong, Eagle Wireless aims to double headcount within 12 months. Plans include ramping Ohio production and R&D to deploy modules for major OEMs, Tier 1s, and emerging IoT verticals.
