BelAir Networks Named A Wireless Canadian Company to Watch

Leading Analyst Firm Recognizes BelAir For Success in Deployments and Diversified Product Offerings

BelAir Networks, the leading provider of mobile broadband mesh network solutions, has been recognized by IDC as one of Canada’s Ten Wireless Companies to Watch.

IDC released a new report that profiles ten emerging wireless technology companies that it believes have the potential to impact the technology market in Canada and beyond. These companies have successfully demonstrated clarity of vision for both the technology and the business evolution; partner ecosystems to sustain and expand opportunities; strong customer base and prospects; understanding of and ability to navigate competitive environments; and targeted specific markets or segments with strong growth trajectories.

“The companies featured in IDC’s latest study have clearly identified a specific niche, vertical, or technical process that helps them successfully stand out in the ever-growing wireless market,” says Krista Collins, Analyst, Canadian ICT Innovation and Export at IDC Canada. “BelAir’s multi-radio platform technology with its demonstrated capacity and coverage has attracted large companies such as Fujitsu, BAE Systems, and Siemens that can benefit from the service revenue they attract from working with BelAir Networks.”

BelAir Networks market share achievements and consistent growth reflect the widespread adoption of the company’s comprehensive mesh networking product portfolio in public safety networks, municipal networks, port and mass transit installations, hotel and venue networks, defense applications, and plant deployments around the world.

“BelAir Networks is proud to be recognized as one of Canada’s ten wireless technology companies to watch,” said Bernard Herscovich, CEO and President, BelAir Networks. “Our strong customer success is based on delivering the industry’s highest performance and most comprehensive product line with a highly scalable and flexible modular architecture that supports multiple services, frequencies and applications on a single mesh, ranging from public safety and public works to public access applications.”

The study, “Ten Canadian Wireless Companies to Watch” (IDC # CA1TIW8), examines these companies’ solutions, positioning, go-to-market strategies, partners, and customers. Lessons learned from these vendors can provide a model for other emerging companies in the Canadian technology marketplace, and help large vendors identify partnerships and investment opportunities. The study is one of a series of reports that IDC publishes as part of the Canadian Technology Innovation Watch report series, which tracks Canadian ICT companies from across Canada.
