Maryland-based Kajeet and Virginia firm Carahsoft are working together to provide the public sector with optimised IoT connectivity, software and hardware.

Kajeet provides wireless connectivity and device management for education, government and commercial markets, and Carahsoft Technology is a government IT provider.

Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as one of Kajeet’s public sector distributors, making the company’s internet connectivity and management available to the public sector through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and Nasa and Omnia partners contracts.

“We are thrilled to join forces with Carahsoft to bring the power of 5G to public sector agencies,” said Esteban Ibarra, vice president at Kajeet. “Our combined expertise will provide agencies with the tools they need to connect their communities, empower their workforce, and deliver critical services more effectively.”

Kajeet’s products, including Sentinel, Concierge, SmartBus and Private Wireless, address difficulties faced by public sector agencies:
