Rogers selects Expeto's NeXtworking™ platform to provide
Wireless Private Networking solutions over both private and public
cellular networks under a new 5-year agreement
VANCOUVER, BC, March 25, 2021 /CNW/ -- Expeto, the world's
leading enterprise Private Mobile Networking (PMN) platform, that
enables enterprises to confidently extend their existing IT
networks with both private and public cellular, announced today
that it is collaborating with Rogers for Business with an agreement
to leverage Expeto's NeXtworking platform to provide Wireless
Private Network (WPN) solutions for Canadian business
customers.
Expeto to Collaborate with Rogers for Business on Enterprise-First™
Wireless Private Network (WPN) Managed Solution
"With Canadian businesses on the lookout for the next
competitive edge, Wireless Private Networks offer an agile solution
that provides reliable and secure network connectivity over large,
multi-site areas," said Dean
Prevost, President, Connected Home and Rogers for Business.
"Rogers for Business is proud to partner with Expeto to launch this
new 'Enterprise First' service to business customers."
As businesses across Canada
look to improve and transform their digital capabilities, the
Rogers for Business WPN solution offers a cost-effective and
reliable network solution for securely connecting devices and
Subscriber Identity Modules (SIMs) – from tablets and sensors to
autonomous vehicles and robotics – enabling business customers to
expedite their digital transformations.
"We are excited to partner with Rogers as one of the first
Communications Service Providers (CSPs) to embrace enterprises'
need for high-performing cellular wireless networks at the edge,"
said Michael Anderson, Expeto's
chief executive officer. "The Rogers WPN solution seamlessly
integrates with existing IT systems and provides enterprise
customers with the confidence of end-to-end security and control of
their network and data. With this industry-leading breakthrough,
Rogers is providing the innovation that will allow its customers
more competitive advantage by driving more AI-intensive IoT
applications at the edge,"
The Rogers WPN solution provides businesses with a dedicated,
on-site wireless network platform that their IT team configures to
connect devices securely on their network and to prioritize
network traffic according to their business needs over public and
private networks while having the end-to-end control of sensitive
data to run IoT business applications. Expeto will provide its
platform as a managed service to support the WPN solution.
The New Edge of the Enterprise Will Drive $2 Trillion in Gross Domestic Productivity Gains
by 2030
It is estimated over the next decade, 14 million global
industrial sites will be equipped with a wireless private network.
This new productivity in the Industrial 4.0 revolution will unleash
$2 trillion dollars of GDP gains
worldwide1 in equipment utilization,
automation, mobility, waste reduction, sustainability, and
productivity gains. This is having an impact on business and the
enterprise IT architecture as we know it. Every vertical is being
impacted, from agriculture businesses to energy, transportation,
and manufacturing.
To gain this competitive edge, the literal edge of the
enterprise has shifted. According to Gartner, by 2025, 75 percent
of data will be created outside of central data
centers.2 Where once network
architectures looked to keep valuable data contained inside the
four walls of the corporate headquarters, this is no longer the
case. Especially in the year of COVID, more employees are working
from home, while more autonomous devices are being added in the
field, and to our ports and factories. To keep social distancing
protocols, businesses are finding more use cases to unleash the
power of unmanned automation.
None of these use cases can be enabled without affordable,
trusted wireless networks that protect valuable data anywhere, all
the time, and can be managed with the skills and talent of the
enterprise's local IT organization.
The Expeto NeXtworking Platform
Expeto is the world's first and market leading "carrier-grade"
enterprise PMN platform that allows businesses to confidently
bridge both public and private networks as one secure corporate

containerized, software solution purpose-built to install behind

Wi-Fi network.
"Expeto is enabling the next generation of wireless connectivity
by securely integrating public cloud and private edge computing to
efficiently deploy brand new enterprise wireless applications and
devices," said Norman Fekrat,
Managing Partner, Imagine Wireless. "Expeto is that 'single pane of
glass' from which an Enterprise CIO can manage and control their
