IoT firm KORE celebrated the ribbon cutting of its new location in Pittsford, New York, due to its need for additional space for its managed service business.

The event included presentations from KORE executives CEO Romil Bahl and Bryan Lubel, executive vice president of connected health, as well as Pittsford supervisor William Smith Junior, and was attended by state and local dignitaries as well as more than 75 employees.

The ribbon cutting was followed by a tour of the facility and a hands-on demonstration of KORE’s connected health offering.

“KORE is extremely proud to celebrate the culmination of a lot of hard work to move to a much larger facility here in the Rochester area,” said Bahl. “It’s also a proud moment to recognise that this is a move where we outgrew our previous facility, so it is a testament to the growth in our company. We look forward to this new location in Pittsford and becoming part of the community, as well as being able to better serve our customers.”

The Pittsford location is vital to the growth of KORE’s IoT managed services, especially in the connected health industry. Connected health is a growing IoT industry that connects patients to providers through handheld devices and hardware in remote patient monitoring products such as diabetes and chronic disease management or mobile personal emergency response systems (mPERS) that support holistic safety and wellness care for loved ones.

As an IoT services provider, KORE aims to make it easier for organisations leveraging IoT to deploy, manage and scale services. It kits and configures hardware products used in IoT and ships them to its customers, as well as manages end of lifecycle care for this hardware.

“We are particularly proud of our ability to provide regulatory compliant managed services to serve connected health industries,” said Lubel. “It’s a highly unique selling point, because IoT in healthcare requires rigorous quality, security and regulatory compliance to serve our customers and their patients.”

KORE previously located its managed services operations in Rochester, New York.
