Overview
Impinj Inc. is a semiconductor and Internet of Things company focused on RAIN RFID, a wireless technology used to identify and track items. Its platform includes item-level endpoint ICs, reader ICs, finished readers and gateways, label-production systems, and supporting software and services. The company serves industries including retail, supply chain and logistics, food, aviation, automotive, and healthcare, and states its mission as “To connect every thing.” [1][2][3]
Founded in 2000, Impinj reported revenue of $182.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, including endpoint IC and systems revenue. Its business has an international footprint, with major revenue regions including the Americas and Asia Pacific; the company lists its headquarters in Seattle and international offices and contacts. Impinj reported about 450 employees in a 2025 company article, a dated company-reported size indicator.[4][5][6][7][8] [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
Products & services
Impinj’s product portfolio includes RAIN RFID endpoint ICs, reader ICs, finished readers and gateways, and tag-production systems. Endpoint ICs store serialized identifiers for wireless identification and can include cryptographic keys for authentication; current families include the M800 series (M830/M850) and M700 series, including extended-memory M780/M781 models.[9][10][11][12][13] Reader ICs are incorporated by partners into handheld, mobile, embedded and fixed readers. The E910, E710, E510 and E310 have stated maximum read rates of 1,000, 700, 250 and 900 tags per second, respectively, and sensitivities of −94, −88, −82 and −75 dBm.[14][15] Its R700 readers support more than 1,300 tags per second, edge processing, native MQTT and up to 32 antennas.[16]
Tag-production systems support tag design, manufacture, testing, encoding and commissioning. Software offerings include Speedway Connect for configuring and managing readers and accessing RFID inventory, location and direction data, and ItemEncode for tag encoding; Impinj also provides reader development tools and partner enablement.[9][14][17][18] In the second quarter of 2026, endpoint ICs generated $96.401 million of $108.371 million in revenue (about 89%), while systems generated $11.970 million (about 11%).[19][20] [9][14][19][19][19][20][10][11][12][13][15][16][17][18][10][11][12][13][15][16][17][18]
Geographic presence
Impinj is headquartered in Seattle, Washington, and lists locations in Shanghai, Paris, Helsinki, and Porto Alegre. It reported 457 employees at year-end 2025, but did not disclose their geographic distribution in the cited filing.[21][7] The company also describes an engineering and testing facility in Seattle.[22]
For FY2025, revenue was $361.1 million. China, including Hong Kong, accounted for $159.2 million (about 44.1%); the United States, $75.1 million (about 20.8%); and Mexico, $41.3 million (about 11.4%). No other country exceeded 10% of revenue; the filing does not provide complete regional revenue totals.[6][23] [21][7][22][6][23][7][22]
Business segments
Impinj reports one operating and reportable segment: development and sale of RAIN products and services. It does not report separate formal segments for endpoint ICs, systems, or geographic markets; accordingly, there is no reported revenue contribution split among multiple segments. Its latest interim filing, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, reaffirms this single-segment reporting.[24][25]
As a product-level breakdown—not a formal segment breakdown—FY2025 revenue was $299.8 million from endpoint ICs, including IP licensing (about 83.0% of total revenue), and $61.3 million from systems (about 17.0%). Endpoint ICs store serialized identifiers used for wireless item identification; systems include reader ICs, readers, gateways, tag production systems, and software.[26][27][9] In the first half of 2026, endpoint ICs contributed $159.6 million (about 87.4% of revenue) and systems $23.0 million (about 12.6%).[19] [24][25][26][26][27][9][19][19]
Company history
Impinj was founded in 2000 by Chris Diorio and Carver Mead, drawing on Diorio’s work on self-adaptive silicon. By 2003, it had focused its business on item connectivity through RAIN RFID technology, and in 2005 launched Monza 1, its first endpoint IC.[28][29][30][31] In 2008, Impinj acquired Intel’s UHF RFID reader-chip operation, adding the R1000 reader chip to its portfolio.[32]
Impinj went public on Nasdaq in July 2016.[33][34] Its endpoint-chip shipments passed 10 billion in 2015, 25 billion in 2018, and 50 billion in 2021.[35][36][37]
The company introduced its M730 and M750 endpoint chips in 2019, followed by the M800 series in 2023.[38][39][40] [28][30][31][29][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][29][32][34][35][36][37][39][40]
