OptConnect, a Kaysville-based managed wireless connectivity solutions company, has acquired Canada-based DPL Wireless, a provider of cellular connectivity and IoT device-intelligence solutions.
“This combination of two respected technology companies will drive greater innovation for the IoT sector with a highly intelligent, AI-powered connectivity platform for ATMs and other IoT applications,” OptConnect said in its announcement.
DPL Wireless specializes in AI-powered routers for ATMs, Bitcoin ATMs and various IoT devices. It is headquartered in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, with a satellite office in Rothesay, New Brunswick.
“Our decision to bring together OptConnect and DPL ultimately means we can do more for customers than either of us could do alone,” said Chris Baird, CEO of OptConnect. “By combining DPL’s sophisticated AI insights and autonomous actions with OptConnect’s global IoT managed connectivity, we aim to strengthen reliability, expand innovation and deliver a more complete solution for our customers who depend on us for the highest uptime possible.”
“This partnership gives us the scale and resources to accelerate the work we’ve been doing for years,” said Marc Albert, managing director of DPL. “OptConnect’s culture and commitment to customers align closely with ours, and together we’re creating a stronger foundation for continued growth, smarter technology and an even better experience for ATM deployers and IoT partners.”
DPL will continue to operate as DPL Wireless, a division of OptConnect, at its Canadian headquarters. Albert will remain with the business as managing director of the DPL business unit.
