Telit Wireless, a wholly owned subsidiary of Telit communications, a provider of wireless machine-to-machine (M2M) technology, has entered into partnership with Orange Business Services, a telecommunications operator, to distribute Orange Business Services’ M2M offerings on the French market.
Telit will market Orange Business Services’ machine-to-machine products and services by adding them to its own modules. This initiative will bring both companies better market penetration and an increased use of their M2M offerings.
Luc Bretones, director for indirect sales at Orange Business Services, said: "The Telit brand enjoys an excellent reputation in France, and its global expertise in terms of M2M modules is the perfect addition to our portfolio.
"As a telecommunications operator this partnership gives us a unique opportunity to acquire new customer segments, and further increase the use of our M2M network."
Felix Marchal, vice president of global sales at Telit Communication, said: "Cooperating with Orange Business Services, the largest B2B telecommunications operator in France, is a strategic move forward for us in terms of expanding our M2M services portfolio.
"Orange has a reliable data network, as well as market dominance in terms of extremely highspeed broadband coverage, for which we can provide powerful modules to integrate all adapted wireless technology. This partnership is the ideal starting point for joint distribution activities."
