Sierra
Wireless announces zero-cost cloud management and 24/7 support for all
new AirLink routers and gateways
AirLink
Complete management and support service delivers peace of mind and
best-in-class customer experience with comprehensive device management,
security monitoring, 24/7 technical support and extended warranty
VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 17, 2019--Sierra
Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW), the leading provider of fully
integrated device-to-cloud solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT),
today announced the availability of AirLink® Complete, a new
comprehensive management and support service that delivers a
best-in-class experience by combining cloud-based management, security
monitoring, 24/7 technical support and extended warranty. Every purchase
of eligible AirLink routers and gateways will include one complimentary
year of AirLink Complete.
IoT networking is mission critical for a wide range of industries from
industrial to utilities to first responders. Deployments include
thousands to hundreds of thousands of devices that need to be managed
and supported in real time, especially with the rise in cybersecurity
threats. AirLink Complete provides Sierra Wireless customers with 24/7
support, remote management and immediate access to critical updates with
their new AirLink devices.
“For nearly 25 years, enterprises have relied on Sierra Wireless AirLink
routers and gateways to keep their work force, mobile and fixed assets
and mission-critical applications connected to the enterprise,” said Tom
Mueller, Vice President, Product Line Management, Sierra Wireless. “In
today’s environment, customers need a partner that can provide the
flexibility, tools and support services to help them manage and secure
their networks. AirLink Complete is our ongoing commitment to be the
industry’s leading solution and services provider, giving customers a
best-in-class experience and peace of mind that we will stand with them
to accelerate deployment and minimize risk.”
AirLink Complete provides one simple plan with full access to the
cloud-based AirLink Management Service (ALMS), direct technical support
and warranty. After the first year, customers have options for
multi-year support and management service to fit their needs. They can
access more in-depth reporting and analytics with options that include
ALMS ARA (Advanced Reporting and Analytics) or hosted AMM (AirLink
Mobility Manager).
“I manage the IT operations of a small-town police department, and I
don’t have the same level of in-house IT support resources as the larger
city or metro agencies,” said Lt. G. Katz of Billerica Police
Department. “AirLink Management Service is a must-have tool for fleets
of our size to effectively configure, manage and troubleshoot. Being
able to draw on technical support directly from Sierra Wireless,
combined with the local support of their reseller partner, assures us
that we can maintain a continuous level of connectivity to our officers.”
“AirLink Complete leads to a great end-customer experience, and it also
provides our reseller partners and solution providers maximum
flexibility while supporting their customer over the lifetime of their
deployment,” said Brian Taney, CEO, GetWireless. “Our resellers and
solution providers span a number of different industries and markets,
and thus need service options rather than a ‘one-size-fits-all’ model in
order to provide the best support possible.”
