CradlePoint has appointed VOD Communications as its value-added distributor and partner throughout Africa, says Hubert A Da Costa, Vice-President, EMEA, CradlePoint.

"VOD's deep domain expertise, penetration and specialisation in the enterprise space make them the ideal candidate, in particular within the M2M and IOT arena across South Africa and indeed mainland Africa. They are the value-added distributor of choice for CradlePoint across the region.

"Transversing M2M and IOT is their knowledge and trusted adviser status to the retail, transportation, telecommunication, construction, government and healthcare industries," he says.
