Aeris officially launched at this week’s Canalys Forum Americas in Chicago its expanded global partner ecosystem, empowering technology advisors, distributors, VARs, MSPs, OEMs and carriers to deliver secure, scalable IoT and fixed wireless access (FWA) worldwide.

The expansion coincides with explosive growth in IoT and FWA adoption by enterprises in sectors such as retail, healthcare, manufacturing and smart buildings, which are increasingly relying on cellular IoT and FWA to connect devices, locations and operations securely and at scale.

According to Allied Market Research (www.alliedmarketresearch.com/internet-of-things-IoT-market), the global IoT market is projected to grow from $1.4tn in 2024 to more than $5.3tn by 2034. Meanwhile, the FWA market is on track to expand from $36.5bn in 2024 to $127.6bn by 2032, according to Fortune Business Insights (www.fortunebusinessinsights.com/fixed-wireless-access-market-110708).

“The IoT and FWA markets are among the largest growth opportunities,” said Aziz Benmalek, CEO of Aeris. “Enterprises everywhere need to unify connectivity, visibility and security. The best way to meet that demand is through partners. That’s why we’ve expanded our global partner ecosystem, enabling more businesses to scale cellular-connected assets through our unequalled platform with built-in cross-carrier operational insight and security.”

For partners, the expanded programme provides a clear path to capture this demand by replacing fragmented connectivity and security models with one integrated, scalable offering for IoT and FWA.

“IoT is evolving from a side initiative into mission-critical infrastructure for modern enterprises,” said Rob Holley from Aeris. “That shift uncovers unprecedented opportunities for partners not only to provide connectivity, but to secure, manage and monetise the full IoT lifecycle. The expanded Aeris partner programme is designed to help them lead that transformation and drive scalable, profitable growth.”

Aeris now connects a wide range of channel and technology partners through a unified ecosystem built around the Aeris IoT Accelerator global connectivity management platform and IoT Watchtower security, monitoring and analysis. This approach delivers a unified, global IoT experience that moves partners beyond bandwidth resale to higher-value, recurring revenue.

The expanded programme covers:

• Channel partners enable access to Aeris IoT through sales channels, including technology advisors, technology services distributors and value-added resellers
• Service provider partners deliver fully managed, secure IoT and FWA services through managed service providers, application service providers and systems integrators
• Technology alliance partners embed Aeris connectivity and security directly into devices and applications in partnerships with OEMs and independent software vendors
• Mobile network operator partners extend the Aeris platform through long-standing established carrier relationships with mobile network operators and mobile virtual network operators
