Monnit Corporation (M2M Evolution Conference booth #307) and
U.S. Cellular (NYSE: USM) today announced a new collaboration to
deliver low-cost, cellular-connected business monitoring solutions.
Under the partnership, U.S. Cellular will deliver Monnit’s
portfolio of over 48 different types of low-cost,
cellular-connected wireless sensors and monitoring solutions
designed to remotely monitor business facilities, processes and

Wireless sensors monitor various functions critical to business
operation, including temperature, humidity, access, motion, water,
light, voltage, vibration and much more. The sensors connect to the
iMonnit online monitoring system via cellular-connected gateways
designed to work with U.S. Cellular’s wireless network. U.S.
Cellular customers now have access to a complete wireless sensing
and monitoring solution, designed to keep track of critical
functions, helping to ensure efficiency, maintain business
operations, increase productivity and ensure security while
increasing on-the-job safety.
“Monnit’s wireless sensing solutions paired with U.S. Cellular’s
wireless network allow for instant creation of remote monitoring
systems at offices, retail locations or other remote
operations—this provides new levels of business awareness while
avoiding the cost and time required to install traditional wired
systems," said Brad Walters, CEO of Monnit Corporation. "We are
excited to partner with U.S. Cellular and provide their customers
with an affordable and practical business monitoring solution. Our
goal is to make affordable and reliable business monitoring readily
available, so a partnership with U.S. Cellular is a great fit."
