Wicklow, IE & Aurora, IL – February 21st 2019 – Druid Software, the pioneering Irish cellular network software provider and an Enterprise Ireland client company, has today announced its partnership with Westell Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:WSTL) a leading provider of high-performance network infrastructure solutions in the US.
The Druid & Westell partnership delivers a cellular core network technology platform, which will make managing OnGo small cell solutions for the private 4Glte market a reality. Working with ip.access, a Mavenir company since September 2020 and the leading small cell solutions provider, Westell plans to offer the Druid carrier-grade 4Glte private network that will feature increased range, robust throughput, and quality of service for voice, messaging and data.
“We are seeing strong demand for private 4Glte networks in the US with the dawn of OnGo,” said Stephen John, CEO of Westell Technologies, Inc. “OnGo represents an essential alternative to public carrier networks for enterprises that require critical communications, where loss of coverage or congestion on the mobile network is not acceptable to delivery of their business services. Our partnership with Druid provides a private network that enables easy control and monitoring, the highest levels of security, and complete resilience from any public network outages.”
Liam Kenny CEO of Druid software said “The emerging market for private 4Glte networks in the US is very exciting.” “We have a vast array of campus-based enterprises and industrial businesses deployments in Europe already live proving the business case for the emerging US market.”
