Making a Connection

STAPLES, Minn. – In a world where communication is critical and staying on top of technology is more important than ever, Sourcewell has created a new category to help members stay connected.

AT&T and Sprint have earned contracts in the Wireless Voice and Data Services category, meaning participating agencies can purchase from a diverse line of products and services for voice, data, and messaging.

Contract Administrator Dave Duhn said these new wireless contracts provide the robust wireless services and devices members trust and have come to expect for service delivery, including 5G capabilities and cloud-based resources.

“Wireless networks are critical in helping state and local organizations develop and implement many smart city initiatives,” Duhn said. “From public safety and transportation to utilities and waste management – these networks are essential for government employees and the citizens and businesses they serve.”

Duhn also emphasized the importance of dependable wireless networks and connectivity in education settings during a time when it’s more critical than ever and said these vendors rise to the occasion and deliver.
