Zest4 is introducing M2M services to its network of reseller partners following a link up with Arkessa. The partnership meets demand from resellers looking to realise the growth opportunity in M2M and IoT services in sectors such as transport, construction, healthcare and property management.
Arkessa enables IoT device and applications developers to connect to the Internet of Things, regardless of network operator or radio technology.
Its managed services span single and multi-network cellular with first time connect capability and secure communications.
Mandy Fazelynia, Zest4's Operations Director, said: "The opportunity for growth and therefore revenue generation in this sector is huge, with predictions of over 10 million connected M2M devices by the end of 2015 in the UK.
"Our partnership with Arkessa allows us to transform and develop the M2M opportunity through our channel partner programme, thereby making entry into this market a reality for all of our partners."
Andrew Orrock, Arkessa's CEO, added: "The addition of Arkessa Machine-to-Machine services to the Zest4 communications portfolio creates an innovative and high-tempo partnership benefiting telecoms resellers across the UK."
