1 case as defendant.
Xirgo Technologies, LLC (commonly "Xirgo"; previously Xirgo Technologies Intermediate Holdings, LLC) is a private IoT/telematics company headquartered at 2100 Golf Road, Rolling Meadows, Illinois, with additional U.S. and European offices (UK, Netherlands, Lithuania). It was founded in 2006 in Camarillo, California. Ownership has changed several times: HKW acquired it in December 2016; Sensata Technologies (NYSE: ST) bought it for $400 million in April 2021; and on September 30, 2024 an affiliate of Balmoral Funds LLC acquired and rebranded Sensata's Insights business unit as Xirgo Technologies. Sensata's 2021 deal covered roughly 160 sales, engineering, and manufacturing employees (75+ engineers), and Xirgo revenue was projected to exceed $100 million in 2021; current figures are not publicly reported.
Products / operations. Xirgo is an operating company that designs and manufactures telematics hardware plus supporting software. Offerings include vehicle and asset tracking devices (XT- and XG-series modules), AI driver-facing cameras under the SmartWitness brand, fleet-management and logistics software (including Elastic M2M platform assets acquired via predecessor firms), trailer/cargo sensing, tire-pressure monitoring, and related device-management and API data services. The company reports serving over 900 channel partners, primarily telematics service providers.
Litigation posture. Xirgo is an operating company on the receiving end of patent assertion. It has no tracked plaintiff-side suits and one defendant-side case in the authoritative data: Fleet Connect Solutions LLC v. Xirgo Technologies, LLC et al., E.D. Va. Fleet Connect Solutions is identified as an NPE/patent assertion entity in Unified Patents' litigation records. Xirgo (together with affiliate Xirgo Holdings, Inc.) was named alongside related assertion activity, and it moved to dismiss/stay and to transfer venue to the Northern District of Illinois.
Case context. The Fleet Connect complaint targets Xirgo's fleet-management platform and tracking products, asserting patents on wireless data transmission, TDMA channel allocation, wireless device matching, and vehicle maintenance tracking. Venue was contested: the court initially kept related cases in the Eastern District of Virginia, then granted transfer of the cases to N.D. Ill. in 2026.
Fleet Connect Solutions LLC asserted the '153 patent against Xirgo Technologies, LLC and Xirgo Holdings Inc. in E.D. Va. The '153 patent was asserted with claim 28 charted. This case is open.
