[June 2010]Networks by Wireless Introduce Netmosis™: Networks by Wireless, Freedom Communications and Magdalene join forces to deliver end-to-end networking solutions.

Sheffield, UK, 14th of June 2010: Networks by Wireless, a specialist provider of wireless infrastructure, today announced a strategic alliance with Freedom Communications and Magdalene to deliver an alternative complete networking solution to the market. This solution will, for the first time, offer customers a viable alternative to traditional carrier solutions.

This alliance brings together leading edge technologies from the three organisations, namely communications applications, carrier service expertise, and WiMax and WiFi connectivity to deliver a complete hybrid solution that can realise significant cost savings or increase overall profitability.

There are many considerations when examining an organisations network, and many businesses find that the different types of technology available and the pace at which the market is evolving makes it difficult to assess appropriate solutions. The end result is too many proposals from too many different suppliers, offering very different solutions. Netmosis recognises that one size does not fit all when it comes to networking and infrastructure, and is able to pool significant expertise that provides a complete assessment of solutions available and can offer cost-effective solutions to meet the required return on investment.

The customer will benefit from this combined, unique to the market, experience, whilst accessing a range of options, which can be compiled to best suit customer requirements. In addition, a single point of contact eases supplier and procurement management and offers a cost-effective solution.
