EMERGENT IoT Leads CompTIA Emerging Tech Top 10 MetTel IoT Fleet Management Transforms Brosnan SmartTrucks We are hearing about an increasing number of cases studies from master agents and their subs involving IoT deploy- ments, including for real-time asset monitoring, smart building applications, fleet management and machinery sensors, among others. So it’s not surprising that CompTIA’s Emerging Technol- ogy Community of partners and resellers ranked IoT as the top emerging technology in terms of near-term business and financial opportunities for the IT channel. “IoT may mean many things to many people, but it can clearly mean incremental or new busi- ness to a channel partner if they start adding relevant IoT solutions with their existing and new customers,” said Frank Rai- mondi, a member of the CompTIA Emerging Technology Community leadership group who works in strategic channel and business development for Chargifi. “More importantly, they don’t have to start over from scratch.” National security officer firm Brosnan Secu- rity has unveiled its newest SmartTrucks, trans- formed by MetTel IoT into a connected mobile command center capable of instant internal and external threat and efficiency detection, analy- sis and response. Brosnan is rolling out the new SmartTrucks to big box retail store parking lots nationwide through 2019. MetTel installed its IoT-based Fleet Manage- ment technology to connect, automate and op- timize the vigilance and operations of Brosnan security vehicles.  Brosnan SmartTrucks now can benefit from live video security for officer monitoring and safety, vehicle idle management for fuel reduction cost and security guard time efficiency, historical reporting to view security guard patrols and observances for pattern analysis and GPS tracking and geo-fencing ca- pabilities. MetTel offers nationwide support and the ability to vary solution configuration based on vehicle type and business rules. 2019 Top 10 Emerging Technologies Internet of Things Artificial intelligence 5G Serverless computing Blockchain Robotics Biometrics 3D printing Virtual reality/Augmented reality Drones Source: CompTIA www.channelvisionmagazine.com | 2019 Master Agent Directory 47 March - April, 2019 | Channel Vision Security/Firewall Storage WAN Optimization Web Hosting Support/Other Services: Business Applications Propel-U-4-Ward LLC 7564 Chaple View Ct Temperance, MI 48182 www.propelu4ward.com Contact: Kevin Emahiser kemahiser@propelu4ward.com Primary Underlying Providers: Star2Star TeleSystem American Broadband LaScala IT Cincinnati Bell Voice Services: Conferencing Contact/Call center Dedicated local/LD Hosted PBX Mobile SIP trunking Toll free Unified communications VoIP Data/Network Services: Access (dial-up, DSL, cable, T1) Access (DS0-OCn) BC/DR Desktop virtualization Ethernet services Hosted email Hosted/Managed IT services IaaS/PaaS Integrated access IoT Managed network services Private line, Point to point SaaS SD-WAN Security/Firewall Storage Virtual servers WAN optimization Web hosting Wireless data access Support/Other Services: Consulting Energy services Installation Mobility services Premises system/gear PSI Networks Inc. 24800 Chrisanta Dr. Suite 230 Mission Viejo, CA 92691 800.377.0049 (voice) www.psi-net.com Contact: Steve Olsen solsen@psi-net.com Voice Services: Conferencing Dedicated local/LD Hosted PBX Mobile services SIP trunking Toll Free Unified communications VoIP Data/Network Services: Access (dial-up, DSL, cable, T1) Access (DS0-OCn) BC/DR Cloud services Colocation/Data Center services Dark Fiber Desktop virtualization Ethernet services Hosted email Hosted Office IT services IaaS/PaaS Integrated access International access IoT M2M Managed network services MPLS VPN Private line, Point to point SaaS SD-WAN Security/Firewall Storage Virtual servers WAN optimization Web hosting Wireless data access Support/Other Services: Business apps Consulting Contact center services Expense/Mobile management Installation Premises systems/gea R Renodis Telecommunications Solutions 476 Robert St. North Saint Paul, MN 55101 866.200.8986 (voice) www.renodis.com Primary Underlying Providers: AT&T Enventis Ernest Communications Integra Sprint Wireless Verizon XO VeloCloud Zayo Bandwidth Services Offered: Enterprise mobility services Enterprise network services Expense/Mobile management SD-WAN Telecom Consulting Rittenhouse Communications 1420 Walnut St, Ste 1402 Philadelphia, PA 19102 215.240.8006 (voice) 215.754.5933 (fax) www.rittenhousecom.com contact@rittenhousecom.com Primary Underlying Providers: 2N Accu-Tech Aerohive ComxChange Hanwha Phybridge Samsung VTech Voice Services: Hosted PBX Data/Net ork Services: Access control Audio/Video IP Surveillance Network installation Structured cabling Wi-Fi S Safe Haven Solutions 11761 Skyline Dr. Santa Ana, CA 92705 855.747.1500 (voice) www.safehavensoluti ns.co Contact: Alaine Fulton info@safehavensolutions.com Voice Services: Conferencing Contact/Call center Dedicated local/LD Hosted PBX Mobile SIP trunking Toll free Unified communications VoIP Data/Network Services: Access (dial-up, DSL, cable, T1) Access (DS0-OCn) BC/DR Colocation/Data Center services Dark fiber Desktop virtualization Ethernet services Hosted email Hosted/Managed IT services Iaas/PaaS Integrated access International access IoT Managed network services MPLS VPN Private line, Point to point SD-WAN Security/Firewall Storage Virtual servers WAN optimization Wireless data access Support/Other Services: Billing/OSS Business applications Consulting Energy services Expense/Mobile management Legal/Regulary/Compliance Mobility servic s Sage Solutions, LLC 236 Cottontail Dr Portsmouth, RI 02871 401.845.5001 (voice) www.sagesolutionsllc.com Contact: Lou DiRienzo lou@sagesolutionsllc.com Primary Underlying Providers: Level3 PGi Voice Services: Conferencing Sandler Partners 1200 Artesia Blvd. Suite 305 Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 310.796.1393 (voice) www.sandlerpartners.com sales@sandlerpartners.com Primary Underlying Providers: 2talk ACC Business Access Fiber Group Access One Adigo Advantix Solutions Group AireSpring AIS Alpheus Communications AT&T Altice USA AT&T Wireless Birch Communications Broad Sky Networks Broadsmart Broadview Networks Broadvoice ByteGrid Call On CallTower CCI Network S rvices CenturyLink China Unicom Cogent Comcast Cox Cross Connect Solutions Crown Castle Fiber Di ital Realty Digium E rthLink Busin ss Ecessa Effortless Office Electric Lightwave EnTelegent Solutions Expand your portfolio with our Master Agent Program.
