What Fybr does

Fybr is a privately held IoT company founded in 1998 and headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, that designs, manufactures, and sells integrated smart parking systems. Its core product is the 4th-generation FybrPuck, a wireless, self-powered in-ground sensor that detects vehicle occupancy in real time across on-street, surface lot, garage, and EV charging environments, with multiple mounting options (in-ground, pole-mounted, under pavers) for harsh outdoor conditions. The patented FybrLynk module provides the underlying connect-and-control network that supports these sensors plus adjacent edge devices such as radar-based water level monitors (approved by USGS and NOAA) and micro weather stations, extending the platform beyond parking into environmental and agricultural IoT.

The software suite wraps the hardware stack: FybrPark (a white-labelable consumer mobile app for wayfinding, live availability, dynamic pricing, mobile payments, and event management on iOS and Android), FybrEnforce (sensor-directed enforcement plus car-mounted and handheld LPR), FybrInsights (analytics with APIs for legacy system integration), and FybrPass (touchless permitting via a companion transponder). Fybr targets primarily U.S. municipalities and government entities, alongside higher education institutions, hospitals, independent lot/garage operators, office complexes, shopping malls, and HOAs; notable deployments include San Francisco SFPark (approximately 11,000 sensors), Washington D.C. ParkDC, Columbus OH, Dublin OH, Marysville OH, St. Charles MO, Avalon CA, and San Mateo County.

The business model blends hardware sales (FybrPuck sensors and supporting equipment), recurring software subscriptions (FybrPark, FybrEnforce, FybrInsights), managed services (white-glove installation, ongoing on-site maintenance), and transaction-based revenue from permitting and payments. Pricing is custom and consultative, structured as multi-year contracts, sold through an enterprise field sales motion supplemented by a white-label/OEM channel. In June 2025, long-tenured CEO Bob Glatz retired and was succeeded by Patrick Stephens. The company remains privately held with no disclosed institutional funding rounds, manufacturing in the USA, and approximately 27 years of operating history.
