As a global manufacturer of device networking products for M2M communications, Multi-Tech Systems has chosen Premier Wireless Solutions (PWS) as its distributor of external and embedded ready-to-integrate 2G And 3G intelligent cellular modems.
Approved by carriers as end-solutions, Multi-Tech’s (News - Alert) extensive selection of products eliminates the inherent delay and cost associated with carrier and regulatory approvals, thus allowing customers to deploy their solution instantly in the market, compared to other module designs that require extensive testing and certifications, says the company.
In a release, Vince Giacomini, CEO of Premier Wireless Solutions said, “We are very excited to be able to offer Multi-Tech Products to our M2M customer base. Now we can help those customers who, for ROI, time-to-market, or resource constraint reasons, can't do a full embedded module design or undergo the certification process in-house. The ability to get their products certified and to market quickly, as well as give them the flexibility and interchangeability of the Multi-Tech modem is unique.”
Giacomini added that the platform is capable of switching between interchangeable radio technologies, allowing customer transition from multiple embedded designs to single integrated solution.
Jim Cairns (News - Alert), Multi-Tech’s vice president of marketing and business development said, “Multi-Tech is pleased to have Premier Wireless Solutions as a distribution partner. Their industry expertise and focus in the M2M market make them a natural fit for offering Multi-Tech’s quick-to-market and quality solutions.”
With the integrated Universal Socket connectivity and Universal IP feature, Multi-Tech’s pre-approved and ready-to-integrate embedded device networking solutions quickly provide cellular, Ethernet, PSTN or Wi-Fi network access with interchangeable communications devices.
Adding communication capability to existing and new products using Multi-Tech's embedded solutions does not require much engineering effort, according to the company. Also, the initial design and host application adjust quickly to new technologies, once the solution is deployed.
As a full service wireless distributor, PWS delivers stocking product while providing value-added services such as design services and integration, certification services, as well as cellular data plans for major carriers and MVNOs. All wireless technologies including Cellular, Satellite, WiFi (News
- Alert), Bluetooth, Zigbee, RFID and other proprietary wireless products are supported by PWS solutions that also show support for both embedded module designs and finished integrated products.
