SPIE, a European service provider in the field of technical infrastructure, and MCS, a specialist in private networks and Managed Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, have intensified their collaboration in the field of Private LTE (4G) and 5G.
The two companies will collaborate to provide organizations with secure and sustainable Private LTE and 5G solutions for mission- and business-critical processes.
For many years, SPIE and MCS have successfully implemented and delivered private networks to various customers in different sectors, including healthcare, government and industry. These two ambitious partners are now joining forces to provide organizations with advanced communication solutions that meet the highest demands in terms of reliability, security and flexibility.
This partnership enables SPIE to further expand its comprehensive service offering, with end-to-end solutions for IoT, mobile accessibility and security systems. For MCS, this partnership marks an important step forward in expanding its reach as a private network expert.
The core of this collaboration is based on a shared vision of the impact of IoT innovations. SPIE and MCS will combine their specialized knowledge and industry experience to serve and support organizations even more effectively in the implementation of reliable technologies.
High quality data communication
Wireless networks play a crucial role in essential business processes. While these networks were previously only used for mobile communication, Private LTE now offers the possibility to unlock data via the network. This allows organizations to benefit from smart sensors, healthcare apps and modern work environments.
It is of utmost importance that these business-critical processes take place within a shielded and secure network. A Private LTE network meets these strict requirements and is also scalable and ready for the future (5G-ready). With a Private LTE network, SPIE and MCS offer an all-in-one solution for the communication and connection needs of organizations, without the influence of external sources of interference.
Collaboration is success
Marc Vekemans, Business Unit Manager pLTE at MCS, about the collaboration: “We are delighted to extend this intensive collaboration with SPIE to private networks, starting with private LTE and in the future with private 5G or a hybrid form. By sharing our knowledge and operational support in the field of private networks, SPIE will be able to focus more on opportunities and solutions that would otherwise remain invisible.”
John Besamusca, Business Unit Manager within SPIE's ICT division, adds: “In order to continue to provide our customers and clients with reliable, long-term services, we need strategic, innovative and reliable partners. MCS is such a partner, and we are pleased to be able to bundle our knowledge, experience and innovative strength in the field of Private Mobile Networking in this strategic partnership in order to be able to operate even more effectively in this market.“
Bas Piek (MCS Commercial Director) and John Besamusca (SPIE Business Unit Manager ICT division) sign the strategic agreement.
The intensification of the collaboration between SPIE and MCS marks an important milestone in the joint commitment to delivering advanced, secure and sustainable communications solutions for organizations in a wide range of sectors.
