Velaspan and Solution Providers: Perfect Together

Velaspan has done one thing for 15+ years: Wireless.

Beyond the value our strategic guidance brings our clients, it’s also critical to our partners: solution providers and managed IT providers that deliver a number of services to a staggering variety of industries. When wireless is in the mix, they can rely on us to strengthen and extend their capabilities, delivering the wireless expertise their customers demand.

We’re sometimes asked, why?

Why don’t providers build out their own in-house departments to handle customers’ wireless needs?

Good question.

As back pocket wireless experts in service of 150+ providers over the years, Velaspan helps partner companies grow their reach, their scope of services, and their reputations without the cost and challenge of building out their own wireless team.

There are a few reasons this is particularly valuable in the wireless space:

    • It’s hard to match our experience. Combined, Velaspan’s leadership, and stakeholders have hundreds of years of wireless experience. Not bad for a technology that’s been mainstream for a little over two decades. Add 30+ specialized engineers, and Velaspan’s bandwidth and knowledge base are rare – and coveted. Recruiting and compensating talent of our pedigree is a pipe dream for most companies, but in reach when we work together as partners. Even the big solution providers – you know the names – choose to rely on Velaspan.
    • Wireless is hard. An understatement. Technology is constantly changing, and is notoriously tough to outpace – even for some experts who do it full-time. It’s almost impossible to be a full service solution provider while staying abreast of the wireless component. Let us handle it for you.
    • We’re vendor agnostic. We have experience across all brands so we can make the right choice for your customers. Our suggestions stem from one agenda and one agenda only: Delivering the best ongoing user experience for your customer.
    • We understand that the customer belongs to you. We’re not here to replace you. The opposite: We want to help you land and keep more customers. As a partner to solution providers, we’re as involved with your customer as you want us to be. Sometimes we’re white labeled; usually we’re not. But we’re flexible. Talk to us about visibility preferences. You’re the quarterback of your business opportunity, and we’re your team.
    • We believe in powerful partnership for profit. Velaspan’s expertise drives the high-performance wireless, but you do the rest. There’s enough work here for all of us.

    Partnering with Velaspan is a win-win-win: A win for you, the solution provider relied upon as a reliable wireless provider. A win for customers, who reap the benefits of Velaspan’s wireless expertise. And a win for us because we get to work with great companies.

    Don’t try to do it all in the high-stakes wireless game. Lean on Velaspan.

    What's Your Cybersecurity Focus Right Now?

    Cybersecurity can be a bit like juggling — sometimes it's about figuring out where you're vulnerable (and making sure everything stays in the air), and other times, it's about getting those defenses ready to catch any unexpected curveballs. Whether you're more about assessing the risks or gearing up for action, knowing your focus helps us guide you to the best solution.

    Which of these feels most like your current approach?

    Understanding and assessing risk
    Defending and responding to potential threats

    What's Your Priority?

    Assessing and understanding risk can take a few different paths. Maybe it's all about the human element — making sure your team knows the difference between a legitimate email and a phishing scam. Or perhaps you're more into giving your systems a good onceover, tightening up those security bolts, and making sure everything's squeaky clean. Which of these sounds more like your current concern?

    Ensuring your staff follows best practices
    Evaluating and strengthening your security hygiene

    What's Your Priority?

    Keeping the bad guys out can take a lot of forms (and sometimes feels like fighting an army of digital ninjas). Whether you're looking to beef up your defenses, spot attackers hiding in the shadows, or make sure your security tools are quick and easy to set up, we want to know where you're focusing your efforts.

    Your Standards

    In the pharmaceutical industry, protecting intellectual property, patient data, and maintaining regulatory compliance are critical. The standards (HIPAA, GDPR, ISO) might sound like they're from another planet, but they matter. Which ones does your organization follow? If you're not sure, no worries!

    Manufacturing organizations often handle a mix of proprietary data, operational technology, and supply chain information, making them a target for various cyber threats. Of course, the security standards you need to follow can feel like a confusing alphabet soup (ISO, NIST, CMMC, anyone?). Which standards or frameworks do you currently follow in your manufacturing environment? And if you're not sure, that's okay too!

    Educational institutions manage a wide array of sensitive information, from student records to financial data, making them an attractive target for cyberattacks. Security standards can help — even if they sound like an endless string of acronyms (FERPA, NIST, ISO). Which cybersecurity standards or frameworks do you adhere to within your institution? Not sure? That's perfectly fine too!

    Healthcare organizations face unique challenges when it comes to securing patient information, complying with regulations, and maintaining the integrity of healthcare services. With so many standards (HIPAA, ISO, NIST — it's a lot, we know), it's crucial to keep track. Which security and compliance frameworks does your healthcare organization follow? If you're not sure, don't worry; we've got you covered.

    The finance sector deals with highly sensitive financial information, making it a prime target for cybercriminals. To protect client data and ensure regulatory compliance, implementing the right standards is essential — even if they sound like a bunch of acronyms (PCI-DSS, ISO, GDPR). Which standards guide your organization's practices? And if you're unsure, no problem!

    Media and entertainment companies manage everything from intellectual property to consumer data, requiring strict security measures. The standards you might follow (ISO, PCI-DSS, GDPR) can feel like a code only decipherable by cybersecurity experts. Which ones apply to your organization? And if you're not sure, that's perfectly okay!

    Retail businesses handle a vast amount of customer data and payment information, requiring strict security measures to prevent breaches. The standards (PCI-DSS, GDPR, ISO) can feel like a jumble of letters, but they're crucial. Which security frameworks do you follow in your retail operations? And if you're not sure, that's okay too!

    Enterprises often operate in complex environments, dealing with sensitive information across multiple systems. The alphabet soup of standards (ISO, NIST, SOC) can help guide your security strategy — but we get it, it's a lot to keep track of. Which frameworks do you follow? And if you're not certain, don't sweat it!

    Government agencies manage critical and sensitive information, making them prime targets for cyber threats. Adhering to security standards (CMMC, FISMA, NIST) is essential — but sometimes, it can feel like deciphering a code. Which frameworks does your agency follow? And if you're not sure, that's understandable!

    Whatever your industry, we know there's no shortage of acronyms when it comes to cybersecurity standards (ISO, NIST, GDPR, and the list goes on). Which standards or frameworks do you currently follow? And if you're not quite sure, that's totally fine!

    How Does Your Organization Manage Compliance with Security Standards?

    Staying compliant with security standards can be a daunting task, and every organization approaches it differently. Whether you have a streamlined system or feel like you're swimming against the current, we'd love to know how you manage compliance. Pick the option that best describes your approach (no judgment here — we promise!).

    Badly
    (we know we should be doing more, but...)
    Manually, with not enough people
    (we could use a few clones)
    Manually, with way too many people

    A mix of automation and manual processes
