Aeris Communications and Novotech Technologies Announce Partnership to Drive Distribution of M2M Services


San Jose, Calif., August 28, 2012Aeris® Communications, the only cellular carrier built exclusively for machines, announced today it has partnered with Novotech Technologies, a leading global distributor of wireless, machine-to-machine (M2M) products, services and solutions, to deliver M2M connectivity services. With this partnership, Novotech will begin distributing products connected by Aeris’ intelligent machine framework.
Aeris’ network will optimize performance and provide the deepest level of visibility for every Novotech device on its network. This will ensure both flexibility and reliability while enabling Novotech customers to better control efficiencies. Unlike many wireless communications services providers that do not own the wireless network infrastructure over which they provide services, Aeris owns and operates the only wireless network infrastructure built exclusively for machines, making it uniquely designed to deliver optimized M2M communications to billions of devices.
“Novotech’s focus is helping companies to drive their business through wireless machine-to-machine technology,” said Richard Hobbs, president of Novotech. “We selected Aeris for M2M services because it provides the flexibility, reliability and control our customers need. With Aeris, we’ll be able to provide more value to our customers and a clear business advantage to accelerate M2M technology in the market.”
“We are excited to partner with Novotech to bring its M2M products onto our network and accelerate the growth of M2M technologies. Aeris is the only carrier created exclusively for M2M services, and the clear choice of system integrators because we provide best-of-breed solutions,” said Mark Cratsenburg, VP of sales and marketing at Aeris Communications.
