BATM Advanced Communications Ltd. announced that its Telco Systems subsidiary has partnered with Advantech to provide the Group's Edgility virtual networking and edge compute operating system pre-installed on a variety of Advantech's universal edge network appliances. The partnership provides a further route-to-market for the Group's Edgility solution, and a competitive advantage for the Group in targeting Advantech's customer base as well as for both companies targeting new customers for the joint solution. Purchasers of an Advantech universal edge network appliance will contract directly with BATM to use the Edgility solution.

By bringing together BATM's software with Advantech's hardware, enterprise and service provider, customers can benefit from simpler and streamlined deployment, management and orchestration of networked devices and applications, whilst being cost-effective. The pre-installed offering also provides a wide range of preconfigured solutions optimised to support maximum functionality at the edge.
