New Release: Multi-Tech and Premier Wireless Solutions Announce Distribution Partnership to Offer Quick Integration of M2M Communications

Multi-Tech and Premier Wireless Solutions Announce Distribution Partnership to Offer Quick Integration of M2M Communications Provides PWS customers efficient alternative to communications module

MINNEAPOLIS (JAN 18, 2011) – Multi-Tech Systems, a global manufacturer of device networking products for M2M (machine-to-machine) communications, announced today that Premier Wireless Solutions (PWS) is now a distributor of Multi-Tech’s external and embedded modems.

PWS will carry an extensive selection of Multi-Tech’s ready-to-integrate cellular modems, which are approved by carriers as an end solution. Multi-Tech’s approvals allow customers to bring their solution to market quickly without the costs and delays associated with obtaining their own carrier and regulatory approvals. In contrast, a module design requires additional testing and certifications.

“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. The ability to deploy a platform with interchangeable radio technologies gives the customer a definite advantage over doing multiple embedded designs. Multi-Tech's modem solutions also offer our customers the ability for immediate market deployment and transition to integration in parallel,” said Vince Giacomini, CEO of Premier Wireless Solutions.

“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,” said Jim Cairns, Multi-Tech’s Vice President of Marketing and Business Development.

Multi-Tech’s pre-approved and ready-to-integrate embedded device networking solutions with Universal Socket connectivity and Universal IP™ quickly provide cellular, Ethernet, PSTN or Wi-Fi® network access with interchangeable communications devices. Multi-Tech's embedded solutions require minimal engineering effort to add communication capability to existing and new products. Once deployed, the initial design and host application can quickly adjust to new technologies, essentially future-proofing any solution.
