Wyless And Interoute Are Building The M2M Superhighway

Online, December 21, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Wyless, the Global M2M Managed Services Provider, has signed a technical partnership agreement with Interoute, owner and operator of the largest fibre network in Europe, for Interoute to host three Wyless NOCs on their Next Generation Network platform in Geneva, London and New York. This agreement will link the Interoute advanced pan European network, including its 8 Data Centers and 32 collocation facilities, with the Wyless managed global wireless network for Machine to Machine (M2M) applications.

Interoute offers its customers a broad portfolio of voice and data solutions ranging from physical network-based products in the Ground to virtual network-based services in the Cloud. Interoute's network connects 100 cities in 29 countries across 55,000 kilometers of lit fibre. Furthermore, Interoute serves thousands of managed services customers across the globe.

The first new Wyless NOC became operational in Geneva in September 2010. In addition to creating a redundant, global backbone on the Interoute fibre network, the technical partnership will permit the companies to layer both Cloud and managed data services over the existing Wyless network.

Jan Louwes, EVP Sales and Marketing, Interoute commented: "Interoute owns and operates Europe's largest private cloud integrating our pan European Next generation network with our high quality data centres. This combination of scale, performance and innovation makes it a great platform for M2M managed service providers such as Wyless. Through this partnership Wyless have added massive reach and resilience to their managed services offering"

Dan McDuffie, SVP Global Sales, Wyless Group, says: "As the needs of our partner ecosystem of wireless ASPs and large enterprises evolve, a much more comprehensive suite of services is required from managed service enablers like Wyless, and we clearly need to demonstrate extreme scalability, reliability and redundancy on a global basis. Partnering with Interoute gives us an advanced network platform and the ability to scale and so it is a natural next step to reinforce our position as a global M2M enabler. We are the first M2M solution provider to offer both continental redundancy and end-to-end managed services on a deeper level than even the MNOs can provide."

"The fact that many of the world's largest cellular operators trust their networks to Interoute is a testament to the strength that this combined offering will offer the M2M market, and over the next two quarters we will be unveiling a host of new products and services with Interoute and our other strategic partners. The M2M Superhighway has truly arrived."

Emad Ghanipour, Interoute, Switzerland Country Manager added: "Interoute provides its full range of connectivity solutions under the Unified ICT offering, which enables customers to migrate to its services at a pace which suits their requirements as their business evolves. Interoute solutions are fully integrated under the banners of Unified Connectivity, Unified Communications and Unified Computing. Wyless's managed global wireless network is truly innovative and fits well with our Unified ICT approach."
