Open Reality, the distributor of wireless and networking solutions, has sealed a strategic partnership with GXC, to exclusively distribute its “easy-to-deploy” private 5G network technology to IT resellers and managed service providers across the UK.
The collaboration marks the next step in Open Reality’s expansion into the 5G market, following its recent partnership with Teltonika Networks to distribute 5G routers and gateways.
GXC built its private 5G solution from the ground up specifically for the enterprise market. One of the key advantages of GXC’s platform is that it features an integrated, easy-to-use management console with a look and feel similar to that of a Wi-Fi management system. This familiar interface will resonate with IT resellers and MSPs who are already experienced with managing enterprise Wi-Fi networks, lowering the barriers to adopting 5G technology.
Craig Charles, sales director of Open Reality, said: “Telecom-grade private 5G solutions are often loaded with unnecessary complexity for enterprises. They have multiple management consoles and layers of administration because they’re built to serve carrier needs. Our partners have made it clear they want something more intuitive, which is why GXC stood out to us.”
By offering GXC’s solutions, Open Reality is enabling partners to capitalise on the growing demand for private 5G networks across multiple industries, such as manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and smart cities.
With the global shift towards digitalisation and Industry 4.0, private 5G networks are increasingly seen as a game-changer for organisations seeking to build more secure, scalable, and high-performance communication infrastructures. Unlike public 5G networks, which are designed for consumer mobile use, private 5G networks offer dedicated bandwidth, enhanced security, and ultra-low latency, making them ideal for industries where real-time data, reliability, and security are critical.
“Many industries are coming to the realisation that private 5G networks are best suited to meet the reliability, security and performance requirements that are necessary to support advanced IoT and Industry 4.0 business applications,” said Sean Horan, GXC executive vice president of global enterprise sales. “Our partnership with Open Reality allows us to equip the UK channel with a best-in-class 5G solution that will help customers leverage the substantial operational and financial benefits of next generation smart technologies.”
“We liked the fact that GXC is 100%-focused on private cellular,” added Charles. “They’re not distracted by hundreds of other product lines or competing technologies. That focus ensures that their private 5G solutions are the best in the market, which gives us and our partners confidence in the product.”
