Wherify’s Brazil Distribution Expands With Delphi Partnership
Wherify Wireless, Inc., a leading developer of wireless location products and services, today announced the addition of Delphi, a world leader in mobile electronics, transportation components and systems technology, to its Brazilian team to enhance and accelerate the deployment of Wherify-enabled personal communications and GPS location/safety services in Brazil. Delphi has assumed distribution rights for Wherify’s Wherifone in Brazil from American Networks Computadores and has placed an order for initial units. American Network Computadores maintains its local service provider status while Wherify will provide the core location management and mapping support from its Global Location Services Center. Wherify will receive recurring revenue for each unit in service in Brazil.
“We’re very pleased to have Delphi’s support in the deployment of Wherify-enabled location and communications services in Brazil,” said Timothy Neher, Founder and CEO of Wherify. “Delphi is a well established player with major distribution resources. We anticipate that their expertise, experience and market reach will enhance our launch efforts and make Brazil a global leader in personal location services.”
“Delphi has extensive experience in taking mobile electronics products to market successfully, both at the enterprise and consumer level. The Wherifone is a natural fit for our portfolio and furthers our interests in providing cutting-edge mobile services to our customers,” said Edson Brasil, Managing Director of Delphi Brazil. “The combination of voice and GPS-enabled location-based services presents us with a very interesting opportunity, and we’re looking forward to working with American Networks and Wherify to bring the benefits of vehicle location and personal safety services to Brazil.”
“Delphi is a great addition to our team and will play a major role in our success,” said Samir Couri, Director of Technologies of American Network. “Delphi has a supplier relationship with thousands of retailers in the mobile electronics and IT industries. As a major supplier of hospital and home medical equipment, they are also well positioned to bring the benefits of Wherify’s technology to the Brazilian health care industry.”
