Speaking on Business: OptConnect

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. OptConnect’s mission is to help simplify the design, deployment and management of cellular connectivity solutions. No matter the cellular connectivity challenge, OptConnect is here to offer a solution. President and CEO Chris Baird joins us with more. Chris Baird: The next time you walk into your local convenience or grocery store, take a look at the kiosks around you — the ATMs, DVD rentals, coin counters, key cutting machines, even the vending machines. Each one likely has a little black antenna on top. That’s what we do. OptConnect keeps over a million of these types of devices connected with cellular connectivity, allowing them to work seamlessly for you. It all started 15 years ago with a simple idea: connecting ATMs to the internet through cellular routers. Today, OptConnect is one of the most trusted names in managed connectivity. We offer fully-managed services, semi-managed options, embedded solutions, data plans, and much more — always backed by our passionate team. Our journey has expanded globally, too. With the acquisitions of Premier Wireless Solutions, M2M Data Global in Chile and Capstone in Europe, OptConnect’s reach is now stronger than ever. Whatever your thing — trust OptConnect to keep it connected. Derek Miller: With awards like the ATM Industry Association’s Outstanding Service Award, Utah Business’ Best Company to Work For and Inc.'s Power Partner Award, OptConnect has shown that it is a powerhouse in the connectivity solutions industry.
