At the recent ITEXPO East in Miami, TMC's Juliana Kenny had a chance to interview Wyless’ (News - Alert) senior vice president for Global Sales, Dan McDuffie. He led a discussion at the M2M Evolution Conference, talking about how the supply chain is really becoming "more simple. Traditionally, it has been very complicated, but now, through best of breed companies in different segments of the M2M industry, from modules to applications, to MNVOs and MVNE's who buy data connectivity, and supply chain management companies, that really simplify the process of bringing products to market, exciting new products to market,” said McDuffie.
When asked what he hoped attendees would take away from his session, he said, "Basically, jump in. Now is a great time, it's expanding exponentially now, and whereas it used to take from 18 to 36 months to develop and deploy product, today, using best of breed companies, you can really compress that into a very short period of time and get your product to market."
He said Wyless has tried to participate in ITEXPO (News - Alert) every year, and that it’s a “great event. I’m going to sit in on a few of the other sessions, listen to what people have to say, see a couple of friends, and have a chill time in Miami.”
In November TMC's (News - Alert) Anshu Shrivastava wrote that Digital Highway Solutions and Wyless announced a comprehensive partnership to provide Wyless national and global wireless connectivity integrated and bundled with DH Solutions wireless data hardware offerings to a broad range of M2M verticals including AVL, ATM/Kiosk, Telemetry and Industrial Networking.
Focused on sustainable M2M Wireless Data Solutions for both mobile and fixed applications, DH Solutions has deployed its offerings on grids, highways, pipelines, offices, rails and manufacturing facilities across North America.
