and to deliver future proof solutions to customers that enable that scenario," said Bob Hagerty, CEO of Icontrol Networks. "Through our partnership with Novatel Wireless, Icontrol One dealers can offer their customers the innovative MiFi technology that does just that. The dealers now have a 2-in-1 future proof solution that integrates Z-Wave, Wi-Fi and 3G with award-winning MiFi technology, for less than many solutions that offer just 3G."
The MiFi Secure product line offers easy to install home security and automation solutions that enable wireless home control using cellular, Wi-Fi and Z-Wave technologies. The products communicate with smart devices and appliances over local wireless communications such as Z-Wave and Wi-Fi networks, and provide communication to control systems over cellular 3G networks. The MiFi Secure products include an optional external antenna and over-the-air provisioning and remote firmware upgrade capabilities that reduce the overhead of costly on-site visits, as well as lengthy waiting times for scheduling of service providers.
"The Icontrol partnership is exciting for us, as it further demonstrates our commitment to advancing the IoT," said Slim Souissi, president and COO of Novatel Wireless. "We are bringing together best-in-class hardware and RF capabilities with the most widely distributed home automation and security management solution, resulting in an innovative, future proof product offering for security dealers who had no access to this type of service in the past." |
