Ekahau, the global leader in enterprise Wi-Fi network design solutions, today announced a distribution relationship for U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean with Ingram Micro Inc., the world’s largest wholesale technology distributor and a global leader in IT supply-chain and mobile device lifecycle services. Under the terms of the new agreement, Ingram Micro will market, sell, and support Ekahau’s full product portfolio including its flagship Site Survey & Planner software, which offers industry-leading customer experience and the highest return on investment for designing and maintaining Wi-Fi networks to its growing network of channel partners.
