History

Mojix was founded in 2004 by former NASA scientist. Dr. Ramin Sadr^[1], who had a background in advanced signal processing technology for deep space communications. While at NASA, Sadr and his team created the ground terminals for the their deep space network (DSN), which regularly tracked spacecraft venturing inside or outside the solar system and the all-digital receiver model for the present day receivers deployed by NASA. One of these missions was salvaging telemetry data from the Galileo spacecraft mission from the ground when the craft’s high gain antenna failed to deploy upon reaching Jupiter.

In 2001, Dr. Sadr began developing the technology that would become the RFID systems sold under the name Mojix. With help of venture capital, Mojix was founded and incorporated in August 2004. Mojix received funding from InnoCal and Red Rock Ventures in September, 2005. After initial funding, the company delivered the Mojix STAR product in May, 2006. Mojix subsequently demonstrated this early model to a leading consumer packaged goods company in October, 2006, reading a population of RFID tags at a distance of 800 feet. This was the first time in history that a passive RFID tag was read at such a distance. Series B funding was completed in mid-2007 with lead investor Oak Investment Partners.

Also in 2015, Mojix acquired La Paz, Bolivia-based software provider TierConnect and its subsidiary CodeRoad. In 2017 Mojix merged with France-based RFID solution provider CXignited.
