Samea Innovation

What Samea Innovation does

Samea Innovation SAS is a French designer and manufacturer of wireless IoT products and electronic radiocommunication design services, founded in August 2016 and headquartered in Pléneuf-Val-André, France. The company develops proprietary hardware products—primarily SENSORIIS, a multi-protocol wireless environmental sensor supporting 4G/5G, LoRa, Sigfox, and Bluetooth communications, and ThinTrack, an ultra-thin GPS asset tracker measuring 82x35x3mm and weighing 15g—and complementary accessories including dual-band WiFi boosters (indoor 26dBm and outdoor IP67 variants) and the SAM2CAL RF measurement board. The firm also provides B2B electronic radiocommunication design services spanning 10MHz to 10GHz, integrating multiple wireless protocols including WiFi, GNSS, LoRa, SigFox, BLE, and Zigbee.

Samea operates a B2B go-to-market targeting semi-professional buyers in Smart Building, Smart City, Smart Grid, and logistics verticals, with distribution via direct website sales and direct enterprise sales engagement. Pricing is anchored at the hardware unit level—SENSORIIS retails at $499 per unit—with no subscription or recurring revenue model disclosed. The company has expanded from European markets into the United States, where SENSORIIS shipping began in Q2 2022 following its CES 2022 introduction. Strategic technology partnerships with Nestwave (NestCore software GPS IP), Ignion (TRIO mXTEND virtual antenna), and Sequans (cellular modules certified for 200+ countries) underpin product capabilities, with additional ecosystem relationships with STMicroelectronics, Qorvo, BPI-France, La French Tech Saint-Brieuc Bay, and the European Space Agency.

The company is founder-controlled under CEO Sébastien Amiot, with a small team of approximately 10–12 staff combining engineering (electronic development, RF and antenna), project management, sales/marketing, purchasing/logistics, and administrative functions. Samea has received regional innovation recognition (French IoT 2020 laureate, RE Bretagne laureate, JEI status) and is registered as a SAS with €62,825 share capital. No external funding rounds have been disclosed, and the ownership structure appears to remain founder-controlled.
