Wiless Controls has entered into a strategic alliance with Metropolitan
Industries to foster the companies’ year-long collaborative relationship and to
accelerate the production and deployment of the Wireless Machine-to-Machine
(M2M) system.
The Wiless Controls’ M2M “plug and play” platform was
designed for a wide range of commercial, consumer, and industrial applications,
and has been prepared for commercial introduction.
“Over the last year,
our relationship with Metropolitan has grown stronger and more expansive,”
Michel St-Pierre, CEO of Wiless Controls stated in the press release.
“Metropolitan has been integral in the development of our M2M package, including
our beta launch last year. As we are now ready for a commercial launch of the
product, partnering with a company with the portfolio of clients, staff, and
financial strength of Metropolitan provides us invaluable resources to penetrate
multiple verticals simultaneously. We could not be more pleased to have
formalized our relationship and look forward to the successful commercialization
of our M2M technology.”
The agreement leverages the strengths of Wiless
Controls and Metropolitan Industries, combining all aspects of a complete
infrastructure to achieve rapid, targeted market penetration; additional R&D
of new products and applications; production of the key components; and
management of the network, Web application and user interface.
“It is
evident to us and everyone in the industry that the day of wirelessly monitoring
and controlling assets in real time, which is what the M2M industry is all
about, is upon us,” John Kochan Jr, CEO of Metropolitan Industries stated. “We
see a wide array of benefits in our various markets at Metropolitan, albeit
industrial, commercial or consumer-oriented products and services. In business
for more than 50 years, with clients from consumers to government,
Metropolitan’s size and production expertise will greatly supplement Wiless
Controls’ innovative product development. We have exhibited the system at trade
shows and have an operational demonstration running at our facilities, which has
resulted in on-the-spot sales and a tremendous amount of interest already. We
are excited about where this new alliance with Wiless Controls can lead both the
near and long term.”
