Rapid growth of master agents fuel Accel's fixed wireless broadband sales
St.Petersburg, FL., May 5, 2008 - Accel Networks, the leading provider of managed fixed wireless broadband services, today announced four new master agent partnerships formed during the first quarter. Accel's base of agents now includes highly recognized industry leaders including:
"We are very pleased to have such prominent and well respected master agent partners representing Accel" stated Mark Gianinni, CEO of Accel. "Given their knowledge of the markets and insight into customer demands, their decisions to add Accel's service to their product portfolios is extremely gratifying to us."
According to the company, development of an effective master agent channel is a core growth strategy. Accel hopes to engage a total of 25 of the industry's most effective master agencies to its program in 2008.
"It's exciting to build a channel program from the ground up using the agent's business needs as a guidepost" added Eric Sandoval, VP of Sales and Marketing. "Consequently, we have seen a strong response from the agents."
"Although we are new to Accel's channel program, we are excited to be able to offer our agents a fixed wireless 3G broadband solution" commented Lance Akins, VP of Sales for Telarus, Inc. "As our agent base continues to grow in number and sophistication, having a product that can reach multi-location retail businesses who do not qualify for wired services - or who can not afford T1 services - is huge. Not only does Accel offer a great product, the channel program is staffed by professionals who we know by experience will do right by the agents."
Highlights of the master agent program include: simple customer contracts, no minimum commitments, and generous evergreen commissions, which are paid monthly. Overarching these important details is the opportunity to offer customers a revolutionary service that cannot be sourced from any other provider. Accel is currently offering an early adopter master agent program, which will run through the month of August 2008.
"A relationship with a provider that gives us a workable "last" mile solution, coupled with a simple, easy to read and manage agreement makes Accel the kind of partner ADVODA needs," added Ron Dunworth, CEO of ADVODA Communications. "We now have a service we can sell into our existing base, as well as market to new potential accounts that have a need for a reliable fixed wireless solution."
Accel provides the broadest coverage and the highest data rates of any fixed wireless broadband provider. By taking a unique, multi-carrier approach Accel has the reach and breadth of the four top carriers combined which enables the Company to select the best possible service for every customer specific location. Then Accel optimizes the RF signal utilizing its proprietary antenna which incorporates patented filtering technology resulting in the highest possible fixed wireless data rates. Accel's propriety monitoring tools enable Accel Networks to continuously monitor RF links ensuring the best possible customer experience. These three proprietary aspects of its PCI compliant service model: pre-qualification analysis, RF optimization and proactive RF link monitoring make Accel peerless in fixed wireless broadband service.
"Our agents and their clients have not been this excited about a product in years" said Charlie Bogart, CEO of Realcom Solutions. "We have seen phenomenal growth in our agent funnel since introducing Accel's service in January. Today we have pilots running with more than half a dozen large brand name retailers. The clients could not be happier with Accel's level of engineering knowledge and support. Private PCI compliance network architecture and extensive 3G coverage are two points that impress clients the most."
