TESSCO Technologies Incorporated (NASDAQ: TESS), a value-added distributor at the forefront of the wireless industry, today announced its elevation from a Premier Partner of Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ:SWIR)(TSX:SW) to an Authorized Distributor of their AirLink® networking solutions.

Sierra Wireless is the leading provider of fully integrated device-to-cloud solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT). The company’s AirLink® solutions enable customers to connect remote assets, branch offices and fleets to the enterprise network. With this new partnership, Tessco can now buy directly from Sierra Wireless and is authorized to distribute AirLink networking solutions, including cellular routers, gateways, and management and security systems, through its network of thousands of resellers across North America. This new distribution relationship, in conjunction with Tessco’s strong inventory position in AirLink products, will enable Tessco to effectively and efficiently serve its nationwide network of resellers at the most competitive pricing in the market.

“The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the largest drivers behind the need for new wireless infrastructure, and connected devices are transforming the way organizations do business,” said Charles Kriete, Tessco’s Senior Vice President of Commercial Sales, Product Marketing, and Supply Chain. “Tessco is eager to work with Sierra Wireless to provide our partners with cellular networking solutions that will revolutionize the way their customers connect critical infrastructure, manage systems and services, and access data that is vital to their success.”

“Enterprises have an ever-increasing need for reliable wireless solutions to connect infrastructure, critical assets, mobile workforces and branch offices,” said Marc Osgoodby, Vice President, Worldwide Sales, Enterprise Solutions Business Unit, Sierra Wireless. “The agreement with Tessco offers end customers the ability to purchase these solutions through their existing Tessco partners and receive the same level of service and support they have come to expect from Tessco’s distribution network.”
