MultiTech Devices Can Now be Purchased with NASPO ValuePoint, Simplifying the State Procurement Process

Mounds View, MN (PRWEB) - MultiTech, a leading global supplier of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and services, today announced an agreement with Discountcell Inc, a NASPO ValuePoint Wireless contract holder, to buy, sell and transact MultiTech’s award-winning line of cellular and CBRS devices. NASPO ValuePoint provides the highest standard of excellence in public cooperative contracting and a simple, competitive path for public sector agencies to make purchases.

Federal and state funding is a giant step forward for schools without broadband access and offers schools an affordable option to purchase secure and reliable CBRS LTE broadband coverage for students at home and on campus. With this announcement, VARs, SIs, School Districts, and higher education can leverage Discountcell Inc’s NASPO agreement to efficiently purchase MultiTech Wi-Fi Access Points, modems, and bridges with qualified and available funding. Purchases can be made quickly and easily on state contracts without the delays related to an RFP.

MultiTech is among the first IoT device manufacturers to deliver FCC Authorized devices to schools and higher education using the CBRS mid-band 3.5 GHz shared (no cost airwaves) spectrum that leverages standards from the OnGo Alliance.

“It has never been simpler for schools to deploy and expand their own wireless networks leveraging free to use CBRS airwaves to digitally transform their operations and connect students,” said Daniel Quant, Vice President of Strategic Development at MultiTech. “Utilizing a NASPO agreement is a game changer for educational organizations looking to take advantage of state level stimulus funding.”
