OptConnect, a leader in managed wireless services, has acquired Latin America-based M2M DataGlobal (M2M), one of the largest IoT organizations in Latin America.
Together these businesses create a premier managed wireless connectivity platform of scale, capable of supporting customers across a broad spectrum of industries and solution needs throughout North and South America.
Coupled with OptConnect’s ability to serve partners in North America and other regions around the globe, the acquisition of M2M marks a significant expansion in global reach, dramatically increasing its ability to support global partnerships with ultra-reliable connectivity and support in more countries.
Collectively, OptConnect and M2M serve more than 10,000 unique customers.
Headquartered in Santiago, Chile, M2M has been a pioneer in the machine-to-machine/IoT industry for more than a decade, offering a full suite of hardware products and connectivity solutions across the Americas, including Chile, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Mexico.
