"Partnering with Nextivity enables Granite to provide cellular coverage as a service to our enterprise customers as well as to other providers' customers on a wholesale basis." "Our partnership with Granite will allow us to reach a much broader audience," said Werner Sievers, CEO of Nextivity. "In particular, the middleprise segment of the market has been largely ignored, and has had to make do with cellular coverage solutions designed for either large enterprise applications or residential purposes in mind. The combination of our solutions and Granite's extensive presence with enterprises of all sizes gives more businesses access to a solution tailored specifically for them." Granite leverages its nationwide technical field force to deploy solutions across the Cel-Fi product line, such as Cel-Fi QUATRA, a hybrid active distributed antenna system (DAS) that solves in-building cellar coverage issues for the middleprise (i.e., paces under 500,000 sq. ft.). Granite's technicians will perform site surveys and installation. Once Cel-Fi systems have been deployed, engineers in Granite's 24/7 Network Operations Center (NOC (News - Alert)) will use the Cel-Fi WAVE software platform to monitor and manage Cel-Fi systems for reliability and quality of service (QoS). If required, Granite technicians also will perform hardware repairs, upgrades, or replacements. Granite's partnership with Nextivity enables Granite Mobility Solutions to leverage its wholesale agreements with leading wireless carriers to better serve the needs of multilocation enterprises across geographies and vertical markets, such as:
