Ingram signs Unwired

Ingram Micro has added Unwired Australia to its product portfolio. The distributor will now be able to offer its Australian customers an Internet enabled consumer home and office solution.

From 1st July, Unwired will have no activation fees and no contracts on residential plans, making the service attractive to resellers and comes complete with a seven day money back guarantee, said Jacqueline Bergin, business manager CHOS Ingram Micro.

“The ADSL mobile broadband connection fits well with the CHOS strategy for networking the home and office and adds value to the products and peripherals in our range,” said Bergin. “The arrangement with Unwired comes into effect this month and stock will be available by the end of the month.”

Unwired general manger for sales, Richard Singh said the products were previously available from Unwired’s website and major retail outlets, however Unwired has been looking to expand its distribution through a broad-based distributor. “The arrangement with Ingram Micro achieves this,” said Singh.

According to Bergin resellers can purchase the Unwired Ethernet Modem (K-ETH-UNW-10) which retails for $129 RRP and the Unwired Pre-Paid Ethernet Starter Kit (K-ETH-UPP-30) which retails for $169 RRP, for end users to sign up online for prepaid or contract plans. Prepaid options with Unwired are as low as $9.95 and plans start from $29.95 per month.
