Mounds View, MN, USA – January 5, 2022 –Multi-Tech Systems, Inc., a leading global supplier of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and services, today announced that The MultiConnect® eCell cellular to Ethernet bridge has received a 2021 IoT Excellence Award presented by TMC and Crossfire Media. 

The 2021 IoT Evolution IoT Excellence Award honors innovative products that support the availability of information being deduced, inferred and directly gathered from sensors, systems and anything else that is supporting better business and personal decisions.

And with FCC certification, the MultiConnect eCell reduces time to market as well as cost enabling fast deployment.

The newest MultiConnect eCell model is now also available for use on Private LTE OnGo CBRS networks. This newest model has several unique features in comparison to other MultiConnect eCell models:

• Simple, low-cost connectivity solution for dedicated private networks, neutral host networks, and fixed wireless networks
• FCC Part 15 and Part 96 authorized end-user device for LTE band 48 and OnGo CBRS Networks
