Source's Comprehensive Wireless Solutions and Services Are Well Matched for Opengear's Continued Expansion Into the Cellular Mobility Market


PISCATAWAY, NJ--(Marketwired - Aug 16, 2016) - Opengear (www.opengear.com), a leading provider of critical infrastructure management solutions through advanced console servers, remote management, monitoring, and cellular out-of-band products, today announced that Source Inc. has become a Premier Partner within Opengear's partner program. Source (http://www.sourceinc.com) joins an exclusive group of Opengear partners holding Premier status; the designation speaks to Source's importance as a provider of comprehensive wireless solutions and services that are highly compatible with Opengear's award-winning product suite.

More than a simple reseller, Source supplies customers with customized and complete wireless solutions designed to meet each client's specific business challenges. Within this framework, Opengear's infrastructure management solutions -- featuring Smart OOB™ technology for intelligent out-of-band management, monitoring and automatic remediation of common network issues, as well as Failover to Cellular™ that switches over to a cellular connection if the primary connection fails -- stand as compelling components to the holistic wireless strategies that Source delivers.

Source's approach includes robust client support and the detailed scoping of business needs in key areas such as network infrastructure requirements, contingency planning, and data security risk. The Kansas-based solution provider offers these services with a focus on wireless as a method for not simply helping clients achieve mobility, but rather to more fully connect the entirety of their business operations.

As a mobility partner, Source will aid Opengear in engaging with major cellular carriers in the United States and furthering Opengear's leadership in bringing secure mobile connectivity to critical infrastructure. Opengear continues to add key cellular out-of-band management certifications across major networks, including AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint. Source and Opengear will also work together with new customers and partners to implement cellular remote management solutions for added network resilience and dependability, resulting in increased business continuity.

"We're pleased to announce Source as an Opengear Premier Partner -- and an important new ally in expanding the use of intelligent, cellular out-of-band management technology," said Todd Atherton, Carrier Sales Manager, Opengear. "As the cost of network downtime rises, ensuring business continuity becomes even more vital to any company's bottom line. Source really understands how remotely managing critical networks via secure, cellular connections can maintain uninterrupted business operations, even when primary network connections fail."
