Let’s be honest: no IT professional dreams of managing wireless and mobility solutions. No one wakes up thinking, “You know what I’d love to do today? Negotiate data plans, track down lost phones, and spend hours on hold with carrier support.”
Yet, IT teams everywhere are expected to handle these headaches while also cutting costs, securing devices, and somehow keeping up with Johnny from Sales, who just dropped his phone in an airport toilet… again.
At Technology Navigation, we constantly evaluate solutions that simplify IT operations and drive cost savings. That’s why we took a closer look at MetTel’s Mobile Device as a Service (MDaaS), and it’s a solid solution for businesses looking to take mobility management off their plate.
MDaaS is more than just pooling devices and data plans; it’s a fully managed, end-to-end solution that eliminates the complexity of dealing with multiple carriers and vendors while reducing costs. Here’s what stood out to us:
- Cost optimization: Cross-carrier access and pooling ensure businesses only pay for what they need.
- Device lifecycle management: From procurement to secure disposal, MetTel handles every stage.
- 24/7/365 support: reliable customer service that keeps businesses connected.
- AI-powered automation: 98% of orders are automated for faster, more efficient deployments.
- Security & compliance: Mobile Device Management (MDM) and secure recycling protect enterprise data.
As a leading Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) in the U.S., MetTel leverages partnerships with the nation’s largest carriers to provide carrier flexibility. Their recognition in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Managed Network Services, for the fifth year in a row, further reinforces their leadership in the space.
And for those who like to sleep soundly knowing their old devices won’t become a security risk (or end up in a landfill), MetTel’s eco-friendly device recycling is a major plus.
If mobility management has become an unwanted side quest for your IT team, we’re here to help you explore whether MDaaS is the right fit. Contact us to learn more.
