Establishing a strong sales and support presence in the USA strengthens PomeGran group’s market position in Broadband and Private Wireless solutions.
Toronto, ON, CANADA (May 26, 2021) – EION Inc., a division of PomeGran Inc., a global provider of 4G/LTE wireless solutions and a leading owner and operator of broadband networks in rural Canada, is pleased to announce the appointment of radio technology and business expert Lawrence Harte to lead the group’s sales, training and resource support activities for the US market. This appointment reflects the significant opportunities and accelerating market growth seen in 4G-LTE, CBRS and 5G network roll outs.
“Lawrence brings a wealth of wireless sales, marketing and technology support experience to the PomeGran group, at a time when rural broadband demand is skyrocketing. The increased demand is due to a steep and sustained increase in online activities focused on essential services, from shopping and working and learning from home to mission critical public safety communications. Lawrence’s knowledge and experience in radio technology, industry standards, business development, systems integration, training, implementation resources, media production, events and publishing will help establish a strong brand in the US market for PomeGran companies,” said Dr. Kalai S. Kalaichelvan, Chairman, PomeGran Inc. “We are excited not only about deploying rural broadband networks in the US, but also managing those high-speed networks with our state-of-the-art Network Operations Centre,” he further stated.
PomeGran’s newly appointed Vice President, Business Development will initially focus on selling and supporting the company’s LTE CBRS private network solutions to companies, distributors, systems integrators and various levels of government that are deploying rural broadband networks across the US. His team will expand and create new tutorials, training programs, sample plans, guides, case studies, white papers and other resources to help companies and agencies to select, setup, integrate and optimize their wireless systems. With the new administration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and their ambitious goal of connecting all Americans to broadband, the commitment for rural broadband grants now totals over $200 Billion. A significant focus will be on deploying broadband networks for First Nations communities across the US.
“I’m looking forward to working with the PomeGran team at a time of significant growth for the group,” said Lawrence Harte, Vice President, Business Development US Markets, PomeGran Inc., and best-selling telecom author and trainer. “I believe my decades of experience in the telecom sector and targeted activities to increase the company’s presence in the US market will lead to some significant early wins,” he concluded.
“The appointment of Lawrence is a significant step forward for the company, during an unparalleled trajectory in the company’s history. We believe Lawrence will be central to our continued growth and scaling,” Dr. Kalaichelvan concluded.
