EION Wireless recently announced that the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) has authorized its broadband wireless products for purchasing by federal agencies.

 

The VIP 110-24 2.4 GHz and Ultima3 5.8 GHz radios can now be purchased by federal government departments without being submitted to the standard bidding process. The company explains that this categorization by the GSA attests to the quality and reliability of products offered by EION Wireless and the customer support, training and technical service excellence supplied by Terminal Exchange Systems.

 

Boston MA based Terminal Exchange Systems, an EION channel partner, has trained engineers on staff ready to help with the evaluation and application of this technology. With the help of Terminal Exchange Systems, government agencies can deploy these products for diverse government applications such as security, video surveillance, remote community connectivity and wireless sensor networks.

 

"The acceptance of the VIP and Ultima3 by the GSA is another milestone in EION's strategic initiative to pursue opportunities in the public sector," said EION CEO Kalai Kalaichelvan in a statement.

 

"Federal agencies are a perfect match for EION's advanced wireless bridges as this technology will allow them to solve a variety of communication problems," he added.

 

The GSA contract, No. GS35F0021P is reportedly in the name of EION’s VAR Channel Partner, Firstworld USA Inc. D/B/A Terminal Exchange Systems.

 

Businesses, telecom service providers, governments and enterprises use EION Wireless products to deliver effective, economic and secure high-speed wireless communications solutions. EION products enable high-speed Internet access, VoIP, data network extensions, and wireless data and telephony backhaul.

 

Terminal Exchange Systems (TES) services the PC requirements of the Boston academic circuit.
