The Advantage We Provide Tech Leaders
Mobility and IoT connectivity decisions depend heavily on facility type, device density, and coverage needs, details that are easy to get wrong without the right evaluation. Lightstone helps you compare providers and technologies against your actual environment so the connectivity you invest in actually performs where it matters.
Talk to a Mobility and IoT AdvisorWhen to Engage Lightstone
Devices lose connectivity in large facilities or remote locations.
Managing thousands of connected devices individually is consuming IT resources.
Public Wi-Fi or cellular can't reliably support industrial automation, robotics, or real-time monitoring needs.
There's no centralized way to track, configure, or secure a growing fleet of mobile or IoT devices across multiple sites.
How Lightstone Works With You
Assess the Environment
We start with your facilities, device fleet, coverage gaps, operating requirements, and current providers so every recommendation is grounded in where and how connectivity must perform.
Evaluate the Options With You
We compare mobility and IoT providers and technologies against your facility types, device volume, geographic reach, management needs, and coverage requirements.
Source End to End
We manage the sourcing process from provider evaluation through proposal analysis and negotiation support, helping your team choose confidently without carrying the process alone.
Tech Leaders Have 5 Options. One Has Their Interests Built In.
Every hour spent on research, RFPs, and pricing comparisons is an hour not spent on strategy that moves your company forward. That's the true cost of the first four options.
Option 1: Trust Supplier Sales Reps
Every supplier sales rep has exactly one job: sell their company's product, whether or not it's the right fit for you. Many will say anything to hit quota. And reps change companies constantly, so the person who sold you the deal is rarely the person still there when you need support two months later. Zero incentive for honesty.
Option 2: Trust Traditional Consultants
Hourly consultants get paid more the longer an engagement runs, so the incentive points the wrong way. Many are also tied to a short list of supplier relationships they need to keep fed, which limits how neutral the advice actually is.
Option 3: Work With VARs and MSPs
Resellers and managed service providers can only sell and support what they're certified on, typically a handful of suppliers. That's not vendor neutrality, and it's a narrower version of the same bias.
Option 4: Do It Yourself
Technology now changes faster than most companies can make decisions. Good decisions requireheadcount most companies won't fund. Going it alone means becoming the market expert in multiple technologies, on top of your actual job, on a market that changes weekly.
Option 5: Lightstone Technology Advisor: The Truth
Lightstone puts in months of work at no cost to our clients before a purchase is made. If we get it wrong, we lose because we are profitable only if our clients come back. We get paid the same regardless of what supplier you choose. Our incentive is the same as yours: find the best fit, and keep it working for the next 10 years, not just get a deal signed.
