Strategic Partnership for Edgility with Advantech

The Group's virtual networking and edge computing solution to be pre-installed on Advantech network appliances

BATM (LSE: BVC; TASE: BVC), a leading provider of real-time technologies for networking solutions and medical laboratory systems, announces that its Telco Systems subsidiary has partnered with Advantech (TWSE: 2395), a global leader in industrial IoT, to provide the Group's Edgility virtual networking and edge compute operating system pre-installed on a variety of Advantech's universal edge network appliances.

The partnership provides a further route-to-market for the Group's Edgility solution, and a competitive advantage for the Group in targeting Advantech's customer base as well as for both companies targeting new customers for the joint solution. Purchasers of an Advantech universal edge network appliance will contract directly with BATM to use the Edgility solution.

By bringing together BATM's software with Advantech's hardware, enterprise and service provider, customers can benefit from simpler and streamlined deployment, management and orchestration of networked devices and applications, whilst being cost-effective. The pre-installed offering also provides a wide range of preconfigured solutions optimised to support maximum functionality at the edge.

Edgility is BATM's operating system for the creation of virtual networks and Edge Computing, which is a requirement for IoT, 5G and enterprise applications. The Group's Telco Systems subsidiary, which offers Edgility, has recently been named as one of the 100 edge companies to watch in 2022 by STL Partners, a UK-based telecoms research and consulting firm.

Dr Zvi Marom , CEO of BATM, said : "We are delighted to be partnering with Advantech to provide our Edgility solution pre-installed on their network appliances, which will enable easier and faster adoption by customers. It reflects the strength of our offering in the rapidly growing Edge Computing market, which will enable Advantech to differentiate their products. With annual revenue of over US$1.7bn and selling globally from offices in over 20 countries, Advantech is a strong partner, and this collaboration enhances our competitive position and offers a further route-to-market. This is also a further example of our growth strategy across our business to accelerate the adoption of our solutions via collaborations with established partners. We look forward to working with Advantech and to continuing to expand our partner base."
