MergeWiFi Partners with Aeris to Redefine Secure Fixed Wireless Access for Distributed Enterprises
A new integrated solution brings together multi-carrier resilience and SIM-level zero-trust security, helping retail and distributed enterprises deploy locations faster without compromising visibility or control.
Today marks an exciting step forward for enterprise connectivity.
MergeWiFi has partnered with Aeris to deliver a fully integrated, secure Fixed Wireless Access solution purpose-built for distributed enterprises. By combining MergeWiFi’s cloud-managed multi-carrier wireless gateway technology with the Aeris IoT Accelerator connectivity platform and Aeris IoT Watchtower™ security, we are giving organizations a faster, smarter, and more secure way to bring locations online.
For enterprises expanding across retail, quick-service restaurants, healthcare, logistics, and other distributed environments, the challenge is clear: traditional wired infrastructure often cannot keep pace with business growth. Fiber can take weeks or months to install, creating delays that slow store openings, limit operational agility, and postpone revenue.
Fixed Wireless Access has emerged as the clear alternative. But as adoption increases, so does a critical security issue.
Closing the cellular security blind spot
As enterprises deploy more cellular-connected devices at branch and edge locations, many of those devices sit outside traditional IT security frameworks. They can bypass SD-WAN, SASE, and enterprise firewalls entirely, creating a “cellular blind spot” that leaves critical systems exposed and difficult to monitor.
That matters more than ever in distributed environments, where POS systems, inventory scanners, surveillance cameras, and operational IoT devices are essential to day-to-day business.
This is where the MergeWiFi and Aeris partnership changes the game.
By integrating Aeris IoT Watchtower directly into the MergeWiFi bundle, enterprises can now secure cellular-connected environments at the SIM level — without adding new hardware and without changing a single line of network architecture. That means security is built into the deployment from day one, not layered on later through complex workarounds.
A new standard for enterprise wireless edge connectivity
The combined solution is designed to simplify deployment while elevating both performance and protection.
With MergeWiFi’s multi-carrier gateway technology, enterprise locations benefit from automatic carrier switching and failover in seconds, ensuring continuity even when one network degrades. Through the MergeCloud Platform, IT teams gain centralized visibility and policy management across locations.
With Aeris IoT Accelerator and Aeris IoT Watchtower, those same organizations gain powerful cellular-layer monitoring, control, and zero-trust protection that addresses threats where they originate.
Together, the result is a complete wireless edge solution that helps enterprises:
- Bring new sites online in days rather than weeks
- Improve uptime with multi-carrier resilience built in
- Gain SIM-level visibility and policy enforcement from day one
- Reduce complexity by avoiding additional security appliances or reconfiguration
- Scale confidently across hundreds of distributed locations
For organizations opening large numbers of new sites in 2026, that combination of speed and security is not just valuable — it is mission-critical.
Built for real-world enterprise growth
This partnership comes at a time when enterprise demand for agile connectivity is accelerating. Retailers and distributed operators are under pressure to launch locations faster, support always-on operations, and protect every endpoint connected to the network edge.
That pressure has created a major opportunity to rethink how connectivity is delivered.
Instead of treating speed, resilience, and security as separate projects managed across multiple vendors, enterprises can now adopt a unified approach. The MergeWiFi and Aeris solution brings connectivity and security together in one integrated stack, making it easier to deploy, easier to manage, and easier to scale.
Stronger opportunity for the channel
This announcement also creates meaningful value for channel partners.
MSPs, VARs, and distributors now have access to a bundled FWA-plus-security offering that solves both connectivity and compliance challenges for distributed enterprise customers. Historically, delivering that outcome required stitching together multiple vendors and complex integrations. Now, partners can take a more streamlined solution to market with stronger differentiation and faster time to value.
Available through the Aeris CRN 5-Star Partner Program, the joint solution is backed by co-marketing investment, enablement resources, and a channel-driven demand generation model that helps partners capture new enterprise opportunities.
See the solution at ISC West
MergeWiFi and Aeris will be showcasing the joint solution at ISC West, March 23–27, 2026, at the Venetian Expo in Las Vegas.
If your organization is rethinking branch connectivity, accelerating site launches, or looking to close the security gap at the wireless edge, we’d love to connect.
This partnership represents more than a product integration. It reflects a broader shift in how distributed enterprises can approach modern networking: faster to deploy, more resilient by design, and secure at the cellular layer from the start.
