iP.1 Networks, a software company specializing in communications
Since iP.1 started 20 years ago, we have taken pride in trying to make the complex simple and user-friendly. This is evident in our SMS services, how we perform them, and the way we are.
We enable companies to communicate with customers, members or colleagues in the fastest possible way!
Our history
iP.1 started in 2003 with the goal of delivering secure and reliable Internet access to businesses in Skövde, Sweden. To be able to offer this, we built our own network based on wireless technology. In this way, we were able to offer our customers the most cost-effective and flexible solution. Our wireless network today covers the entire municipality of Skövde.
We previously also offered smart WiFi networks and special radio technology that made it easy to connect data traffic to and from different points, such as properties, without having to run cables.
Our first SMS service was born
To monitor our own wireless network, we needed a fast and stable monitoring system. Therefore, we created an SMS system that automatically sent SMS reports to our technicians as soon as something unexpected happened. This way, we could start troubleshooting quickly and also solve many problems before the customer was affected. It wasn't long before the first customer asked if we couldn't monitor their own hardware using our SMS Gateway.
We have continued to develop new services together with our customers. Like when a priest from the Church of Sweden wanted help sending SMS to reach out with short messages to confirmation candidates. Some time later, a web application was created where it was possible to log in to send SMS in a fast and cost-effective way. Thus, the first version of Web SMS was born! Since then, we have continued to grow at a rapid pace and now we focus only on developing smart SMS solutions.
Our DNA = Simplicity
iP.1 strives to develop communication services that are easy to use. Simplicity has been a core value in our business from the start, whether it's navigating our website, sending an SMS from one of our web services or creating a survey in the survey service One Survey. We are constantly working on the user-friendliness of our services to make it even easier to communicate using iP.1's platform!
