NetComm Wireless, Westbase Technology sign 4G distribution agreement for UK markets

NetComm Wireless announced on October 9 that it had entered its first supply agreement with Westbase Technology. A wireless technology distributer based in the United Kingdom, Westbase will distribute NetComm's 3G and 4G wireless broadband devices and machine-to-machine (M2M) products to telecommunications carriers in the U.K. and in Europe.

Earlier, U.K. communications industry regular Ofcom gave its approval to Everything Everywhere. The corporation was now free to use its existing 1800 MHz spectrum for 4G services.

With that in mind, NetComm plans to ensure that its Wireless 4G WiFi Router (4G100W) is one of the first 4G devices to hit the UK market. The tirst to come, after all, is the first to be served.

Westbase will offer NetComm's M2M products to UK vertical markets. NetComm products optimize wireless communications by using distant monitoring, control, and maintenance. They can deliver applications to energy, transport, banking, retail, and other areas.

According to a statement by Brett Stevens, the Chief Technology Officer of NetComm, the Company's partnership with Westbase Technology will allow NetComm to explore new business opportunities in the U.K. as the county gains access to 4G LTE broadband. The agreement also provides cutting-edge M2M technology to industrial and commercial customers across the U.K. and the European continent.
