Strategic partnership to drive growth of channel sales and broaden distribution of indoor wireless coverage solutions for Canadian Businesses
Ottawa, Ontario: September 12, 2005 - Spotwave Wireless, a leading provider of carrier-approved indoor wireless coverage solutions, today announced White Radio as its latest authorized national distribution partner in Canada.
White Radio, the leading national, full-service, value-added distributor of wireless and time division multiplexing (TDM), will provide the Spotwave’s SpotCell® family of products to resellers and dealers across Canada. The products will be sold through White Radio’s Wireless & TDM Division, with service and support provided by Spotwave.
As Canadian companies rapidly deploy wireless solutions to meet the demands of doing business in a global economy, wireless connectivity has become a serious issue for mobile business professionals. While outdoor coverage across Canada has improved, building materials like concrete, steel and tinted glass frequently prevent wireless signals from penetrating, meaning cell phones and other wireless devices may not deliver optimal performance where they are used most – indoors.
The SpotCell family of adaptive coverage solutions from Spotwave is carrier-approved and eliminates coverage trouble spots, providing Canadian businesses with reliable, always-on connectivity.
"In speaking with our customers, it’s clear that they need a solution to the indoor wireless coverage problems that plague organizations across Canada," said Darin Gibbons of Sales, Wirless & TDM Division, of White Radio. "Spotwave has proven itself as a company that can meet the coverage demands of businesses, while at the same time ensuring wireless carriers won’t worry about products that will interfere with their network."
Spotwave Wireless systems can be deployed quickly without elaborate engineering design or specialized instrumentation, and require no ongoing maintenance, unlike conventional in-building systems. Once installed, SpotCell products automatically adapt to changes in the wireless environment, maintain stability, and provide consistent coverage conditions.
"It is a pleasure to work with a company like White Radio to provide Canadian dealers and resellers with a solution for their customers’ wireless coverage problems," said Tim Moran, Managing Director of Channel Sales for Spotwave." Working with a company as established as White Radio is the first step in our plan to drive growth through channel partnerships as we head into 2006."
Spotwave’s SpotCell products will be available through White Radio to partners and platinum partners across Canada, as well as via their Web site, www.whiteradio.com, starting today.
