Smartaira's national footprint grows through acquisition, partnership, and strategic organic investment

Smartaira, a leader in community-wide Managed Wi-Fi innovation for multifamily properties, announced today that it has acquired the assets of Florida-based multifamily internet service provider Direct Plus, LLC ("Direct Plus"). The transaction expands Smartaira's footprint on the east coast and significantly increases its bulk internet and entertainment subscription base in the MDU market. Direct Plus is Smartaira's third acquisition in the last 14 months.

In conjunction with the transaction, Smartaira signed a service agreement with MasTec Advanced Technologies, one of the nation's premier "last-mile" installation and fulfillment services providers, to maintain a consistent resident experience for Direct Plus customers. The MasTec technicians that Direct Plus customers are familiar with will continue to install and service their Internet and DIRECTV solutions. The new agreement also allows Smartaira to engage the MasTec team nationally, adding depth to its strong bench of in-market technical resources.

"Smartaira is thrilled to have Direct Plus customers and associates join us in providing the best multifamily Internet and DIRECTV experience in the country," said Dan Terheggen, CEO of Smartaira. "We are also proud of our new association with MasTec, which expands Smartaira's nationwide service delivery footprint. Together we'll provide phenomenal account management, customer support, installation, and technical services to our clients, communities, and customers wherever they have the need."

"Direct Plus is excited to join forces with Smartaira, one of the country's most advanced Internet Service Providers and DIRECTV Preferred Dealers," said Tony Bello, President and CEO of Direct Plus. "The Direct Plus 'gold standard' of customer support will continue and improve with Smartaira's dedicated team of US-based professionals. For 17 years, we've competed against the largest companies on the planet to deliver multifamily Internet and DIRECTV, and we know this success will continue with Smartaira."

SDC Capital Partners, LLC ("SDC"), a global digital infrastructure investment firm with approximately $4 billion of assets under management and Smartaira's largest investor, provided capital for the acquisition. "SDC is happy to support Smartaira's continued expansion through the acquisition of Direct Plus," said Clinton Karcher, partner at SDC. "Smartaira is delivering state-of-the-art Managed Wi-Fi solutions for its customers, and we're excited to expand those service capabilities into new markets on the east coast."   

"The Direct Plus 'white glove' tradition of service will continue and improve with Smartaira's resources and innovative multifamily technology solutions," said Jose R. Mas, CEO of MasTec, Inc. "MasTec", a Fortune 500 company, has been an integral part of Direct Plus' success since 2005 by installing and servicing thousands of multifamily units. We look forward to continuing to work with Smartaira to provide exceptional service in the MDU market."

Smartaira has also been growing organically on the east coast with the addition of Stephen Layne, regional vice president of business development (VA); Rowdy Smith, director of business development (NH); and Ron Randall, director of national field service (NC). "The industry experience, relationships, and respect that these three veterans bring Smartaira are tremendous," said Robert Benton, Smartaira's Chief Marketing Officer. "When you combine the foundation provided by Direct Plus and MasTec with the business development team's energy, expertise, and opportunity—Smartaira is officially on the map in the east."

telMAX acquisition of ENVI enables faster and more reliable broadband for the Newmarket, Ontario community

Newmarket, ON – The Town of Newmarket is excited to announce the acquisition of ENVI, Newmarket’s community-owned Internet Service Provider (ISP), by telMAX. This year, telMAX was recognized by PC Magazine as the fastest internet service in Canada, “with speeds so astonishing it ran right over the competition.” In the age of remote working and the need for faster more reliable internet service, this is a critical step forward and a very significant goal achieved in Newmarket’s overall broadband strategy.

“The pandemic and working from home, has reinforced the absolute necessity for high-speed broadband in a future-oriented community,’ says Newmarket Mayor John Taylor. “Our goal has always been to ensure affordable high-speed broadband for Newmarket businesses and residents. With the creation of ENVI in 2018, we moved one step closer, and now with this sale, Newmarket will realize that goal with telMAX bringing the fastest internet service in Canada right to your doorstep.”

In 2018, the Town of Newmarket and Newmarket-Tay Power Distribution (NT Power) invested in ENVI to enhance the Town’s broadband infrastructure and improve connectivity and service for businesses across the community, with the goal of expanding to the residential market in the future. ENVI came to life as part of the Town’s Economic Development Strategy to fill the internet connectivity and service gaps experienced by local business.

The sale of ENVI accelerates the vision of bringing ultra-high-speed broadband to the entire community, in a shorter timeframe and without further investment from the shareholders. Without this sale, ENVI would have required a very significant long-term investment from its shareholders to continue to expand in a highly competitive environment.

“ENVI was created to support the strategic vision of providing universal, quality broadband and the enablement of Smart City services to all the constituents in the Town of Newmarket,” says Ian Collins, ENVI Board Chair. “Today’s announcement will accelerate our realization of that vision and ensure that the community benefits more quickly than the resources of ENVI could have done on our own.”

Since 2018, ENVI has provided super high-speed service to a wide variety of businesses in Newmarket and surrounding areas, including the Town of Newmarket and NT Power. Newmarket is now in an even better position to realize its future Smart City aspirations through reaping the community benefits of leading-edge connectivity moving into the future.

telMAX builds Fibre to the Home/Business networks which are capable of delivering both download and upload speeds of up to 10Gbs internet today. telMAX’s product offerings of Internet, TV and Phone are available in Whitby and Stouffville and will soon be available to the residents and businesses of Newmarket. telMAX was acknowledged as the fastest Internet Service Provider (ISP) in Canada by PC Magazine in June 2022, using independent sampling to determine the quality of service provided by ISP’s across the country.

“We are delighted to be working with the Town of Newmarket to expand the goal of bringing 100% fibre broadband to the community. It is a statistical fact that communities that are connected to fibre infrastructure are growth engines for the local economy,” said Stuart Roberts, CEO of telMAX. “We look forward to playing a significant role in the economic and cultural development of the Town of Newmarket and being a responsible corporate citizen.”

Newmarket as a Smart City
This ultra-high-speed broadband network aligns with Newmarket’s commitment to being a Smart City, powered by big ideas, technology, creativity and innovation.

A Smart City uses technology, data, and analytics to accelerate innovation, drive economic development, develop new efficiencies, improve sustainability, and enhance the quality of life for the residents and workers in the community. Fibre networks are the type of technology that enable future forward transformation and reinvention.

In 2019, Newmarket was named as one of the Smart21 communities by the Intelligent Community Forum, recognized as one of the 21 communities across the globe that is most ready to face the 21st century. Newmarket joined four other Canadian cities and nine other nations including Taiwan, USA, Estonia, France, Australia and New Zealand. This truly demonstrates Newmarket’s commitment to improving quality of life through technology and innovation.

About telMAX
Over the past two years telMAX has built its own fibre optic network in Whitby (Durham Region) and Stouffville (York Region). Using the latest technology, the telMAX network is capable of delivering synchronous speeds up to 10 Gbps and is positioned to be able to deliver faster speeds as equipment becomes available and demand dictates. telMAX is based in Stouffville and employs staff from the communities where it operates. It is planned that staff will be recruited from Newmarket and the surrounding area as the company grows. In June 2022, an independent assessment, by PC Magazine, recognized telMAX as the fastest internet provider in Canada 2022. telMAX offers Fibre Broadband internet, TV and phone services at highly competitive prices with industry leading levels of quality. telMAX is owned by Nova Infrastructure fund and QAI Capital.

The combined business represents the largest MDU-focused ISP in the region, serving more than 65,000 residential units in 880 buildings throughout the Chicago and Milwaukee markets.
