CELLSMART – the cellular intelligence division of SmartCIC – is working with bespoke solutions provider Telecom Management Resources (TMR) and nexgen technology company Abundant IoT to connect IoT solutions with fixed wireless access (FWA) technology.
CELLSMART will specifically provide site-by-site cellular intelligence, on-the-ground engineers and end-to-end FWA solutions to support IoT rollouts.
Through CELLSMART, Abundant IoT will offer customers rapid access to the best-possible cellular network at any given location, with engineers ready to adapt solutions to local RF environments. This is expected to result is high-performance, resilient and secure networking that is delivered in days instead of months. CELLSMART’s comparative analysis of local cellular providers coupled with its global database of cellular performance data allows it to deliver solutions that are optimized for local deployment scenarios.
“The intersection of FWA and IoT is transforming a growing number of industry verticals,” said CELLSMART CEO, Toby Forman. “Organizations are seeing that IoT can be rapidly deployed and scaled up with trusted connectivity. We’re excited to be working with Abundant IoT and enabling its customers to benefit from intelligence-driven FWA. Throughout 2024, we will be working closely with TMR and Abundant IoT to help more organizations benefit from FWA and move with greater agility to serve enterprise demands. We’re taking a disruptive approach to connectivity that benefits the entire ICT ecosystem.”
Abundant IoT founders have 30 years of experience in the IT channel, and offer IoT solutions with a focus on energy, connectivity, mobility and cloud services, combined with devices. Its expertise in energy efficiency, distributed generation and supporting ESG strategies makes it a key solutions provider for underserved areas of the channel.
“CELLSMART has a unique offering that quickly adds value to our solutions portfolio,” said Abundant IoT CEO, Vince Bradley. “CELLSMART’s speed of deployment, adaptability and visibility into local RF environments give us a competitive advantage. It has the fastest installation times in the world and has reduced our timelines from months to just days. As IoT and FWA adoption accelerates, we’re excited to grow our business by offering CELLSMART solutions.”
SmartCIC and CELLSMART signed an agreement with TMR in the 2023 fourth quarter to accelerate FWA adoption in North America. As CELLSMART’s solution provider, TMR is responsible for growing FWA solutions that leverage CELLSMART’s cellular intelligence throughout North America. It offers a comparative analysis of local cellular providers and rankings based on cellular performance in a local area. In 2023, CELLSMART mapped 5G the same way Google mapped local streets and equipped cars with bespoke testing software, SIMs and routers to test local wireless network performance across Europe and North America.
“We’re excited to launch our first partnership since kicking off our relationship with CELLSMART in November 2023,” added Marc Metzger, the CEO of TMR. “There’s huge potential for FWA in North America and we’re seeing a growing number of service providers and enterprises look for FWA to solve their connectivity challenges. Working with Abundant IoT gives us a great opportunity to demonstrate the power of intelligence-driven cellular solutions in the IoT space. It is a great fit and the first of many milestones for our relationship with CELLSMART.”
TMR, it should also be noted, will be announcing a growing number of CELLSMART FWA partnerships in North America throughout 2024.
