History
Originally established in the United Kingdom in 2004 as a specialist in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi modules, Ezurio became part of Laird Technologies following its acquisition in 2008, joining Laird’s connectivity division. Laird further broadened its wireless product lineup by acquiring Summit Data Communications in 2012. In 2018, Advent International privatized Laird plc, with the connectivity segment operating under the name Laird Connectivity. Subsequently, the external antenna business was divested to TE Connectivity in 2021.
Audax Private Equity purchased Laird Connectivity in July 2022. Later that year, the firm expanded its embedded computing portfolio by acquiring Boundary Devices, a supplier of system-on-modules and single-board computers. In March 2024, the company adopted the Ezurio name to unify its connectivity and embedded computing operations under this legacy brand.
