Ictel Ingenieros

What Ictel Ingenieros does

Irtel Ingenieros S.L., operating as Ictel Ingenieros, is a Vigo, Spain-based technology company founded in 2000 that designs and produces electronic, mechanical, and software systems, with 11-50 employees. Its commercial portfolio centers on two proprietary brands: Roommatik self check-in kiosks for hotels, tourist establishments, campervan areas, ticket sales, and rent-a-car operations, and Domotel home and building automation (domotics) products focused on motel management. The company's underlying technology spans hardware design, embedded electronics, and proprietary software, with active development of Ultra Wide Band (UWB)-based systems that integrate radar, hybrid localization, machine learning, and intelligent signal processing under the WiBand consortium program (CDTI CIEN, 2022, €7.997M total consortium budget, 48 months).

The business operates across multiple verticals through both branded products and custom R&D+i project delivery, including hospitality (Roommatik kiosks, UWB access control/occupancy), industrial automation for the automotive sector (middleware between field elements and high-level control systems), healthcare (Holos clinical/environmental alert system with Quirón Hospital Group and SIVSA), livestock monitoring (Cattle Care with CLUN Cooperative), and critical infrastructure drone security (Space). Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time hardware sales (Roommatik, Domotel), professional services for custom industrial automation projects, and managed services via publicly funded R&D consortium participation (CDTI, GAIN, FEDER, EU programs).

Go-to-market is direct enterprise B2B sales targeted at hospitality, industrial, and public infrastructure clients, with international expansion channeled through IGAPE-supported Galicia Exporta Empresas and Foexga export programs that fund trade fair participation and internationalization hiring. The company operates under multiple brands (Roommatik, Domotel, Winkhel) with dedicated product websites, and relies substantially on EU/Spanish public R&D funding rather than external equity investment — no funding rounds or parent companies are disclosed. The company is privately held, with no public listing or stock exchange information.

• Indra: Indra is a Spanish IT and industrial automation systems integrator with deep automotive and public-sector presence. It competes with Ictel's middleware/system integration work in Spain and shares the Galician/Spanish industrial customer base.
• Mews: Mews is a cloud-native hotel PMS that includes self check-in and kiosk-style guest journey workflows. It directly competes with Ictel's Roommatik in automating the unattended hotel check-in process for hospitality and tourist establishments.
• Salto Systems: Salto Systems manufactures electronic access control hardware and smart-locking solutions for hotels, buildings, and tourist accommodations. It competes with Ictel's Domotel domotics/automation offerings and with the access-control layer behind Roommatik.

Broad incumbents

• ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions: ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions provides electronic hotel door locks, mobile key, and self check-in solutions. It addresses the same hospitality access-control and check-in use case as Roommatik, but as part of a much broader global locking and security portfolio.
• Legrand: Legrand is a global manufacturer of electrical and digital building infrastructure, including home and building automation systems. It competes with Domotel in the building-automation/domotics space but at vastly greater scale and product breadth.
• Schneider Electric: Schneider Electric offers building automation, industrial automation, and energy management solutions globally. It overlaps with both Ictel's Domotel building automation and its automotive/industrial integration services, with much larger scale and global reach.
• Siemens: Siemens provides industrial automation, control systems, and integration services globally. Its industrial automation and middleware capabilities overlap with Ictel's automotive-sector system integration work in Vigo.
• NXP Semiconductors: NXP is a major semiconductor vendor with UWB, NFC, and secure-access silicon used in automotive, smart home, and access-control applications. It is adjacent to Ictel's UWB platform development and competes broadly in enabling chips for the same end markets.

Emerging players

• Qorvo (formerly Decawave): Qorvo (via Decawave) is a leading supplier of UWB chipsets used for indoor positioning, secure access, and IoT. As an upstream enabler of the UWB stack Ictel is developing in WiBand, it is a comparable emerging player in the same UWB technology wave.
