Zest4 have confirmed their dedication to M2M & IoT solutions by licensing the Emport IoT platform from Arkessa, a leading M2M/IoT connectivity service provider. This association gives Zest4 the ability to deliver IoT MVNO services solutions alongside new communications technology, to maximise the IoT revenue opportunities not only in the UC channel, but to existing IoT suppliers and IoT solutions developers across all verticals.
Zest4 have acquired this capability to ensure their partners can access multiple networks, both in the UK and globally. Enabled by Arkessa’s Emport platform, partners have ultimate control under one management billing platform to manage their entire estate of SIMS irrespective of mobile network operator. Not only this, but they will be able to; track SIM usage individually, by sub estates, or in entirety; monitor data alerts, caps and SIM data allowance usage; produce data usage reports with ease and organise their estates through tags and categories of their choice.
The deal means Zest4 can offer an IoT tariff for any opportunity that a partner uncovers – with their usual competitive pricing and commercial flexibility.
Anton le Saux, Zest4’s Head of IoT said “Arkessa’s Emport is a proven Enterprise MVNO platform which we can now leverage, customise and target at UC channel businesses, verifying our position as a leading provider of IoT.”
Philip McDermott, Arkessa’s COO said “Arkessa is delighted to enable Zest4 with our Emport IoT platform, with such a strong track record of working with strategic partners to deliver UC solutions which are easy to understand and include high quality equipment, competitive prices and proactive support, it is a great fit. The Arkessa Platform-as-a-Service solution gives Zest4 the freedom to pursue their channel-focussed approach to IoT.”
