ATIM

What ATIM does

ATIM SARL is a privately held French designer and manufacturer of wireless IoT and M2M communication products, headquartered in Villard-de-Lans near Grenoble and founded in 1996 by CEO Francis Raimbert. The company builds the full hardware-software stack in-house: ultra-low-power ARM-nano radio modules, ACW-series LPWAN sensors (temperature, humidity, CO2/VOC, leak detection, presence, metering, ATEX-rated devices), ARM-series industrial radio modems (RS232/RS485/Ethernet Modbus bridging), LoRaWAN gateways, plus an IoT Cloud web platform, mobile app, and Windows configurator tools. ATIM supports multiple LPWAN protocols (LoRaWAN, Sigfox with Monarch, NB-IoT, LTE-M, and proprietary point-to-point radio), allowing customers to choose the most suitable network or migrate between operators.

ATIM's products serve industrial, building, agricultural, utility, and smart-city applications, with documented enterprise customers including Accor/Essendi (450 hotels equipped), Bouygues, Engie, ADP (Aéroports de Paris), JC Decaux (20+ year billboard synchronization partnership), Schneider Electric, Siemens, SNCF, SPIE, and Orange (LoRa network hardware). The business model combines hardware sales of sensors, modems, gateways, and modules with a complementary recurring software layer (web platform, mobile app, configurators). Distribution is hybrid: direct enterprise sales supplemented by a worldwide network of distributors and IoT platform partners (Actility, TTN, Chirpstack, Loriot, Heliot Europe, UnaBiz) across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.

The company is founder-controlled, profitable in appearance, and operates without disclosed external funding. Recent strategic emphasis has been on embedding TinyML/edge AI for predictive maintenance and anomaly detection (e.g., the CCIAG/Imagina water-leak project covering 100,000 equivalent homes in 2024) and expanding its structural-monitoring footprint through the Advarna Obsessio_X6 partnership (1,000+ deployments since 2021). ATIM competes in the European industrial-IoT hardware market against larger players (Siemens, Schneider) and other LPWAN specialists (Decentlab, Adeunis) by combining multi-protocol flexibility, French manufacturing, and a 30-year radio heritage.
