rate plans, devices and SIM management for a number of vertical
industries.
"RACO Wireless and DCS together provide a one-stop shop for
companies seeking M2M solutions," said John Horn, president of RACO
Wireless. "We have a long-standing relationship with T-Mobile for
network connectivity, a deeply experienced team of M2M experts,
powerful tools like the Omega Management Suite and now a
partnership with a distributor of M2M modules that's widely
acknowledged as an industry leader."
"This partnership allows our customers access to a single center
of excellence," said Chris Bursey, managing partner for DCS. "We're
providing a very unified approach, giving customers one place to go
for hardware, airtime, rate plans, SIM cards, integration into the
network and every other element they require for M2M services."

companies have a deep understanding of M2M and the proven ability
