Portfolio
MetTel Business Services
From managed mobility and IoT to POTS replacement, private-network SD-WAN, cloud voice, and Connected Laptop as a Service — a complete managed telecom platform for enterprise and government.
Managed Mobility & IoT
MetTel manages enterprise mobility and IoT connectivity across 165 countries and 650+ carriers — aggregating multi-carrier coverage into a single platform, single bill, and single support team. Includes an exclusive Apple partnership for universal device enrollment, enabling zero-touch iPhone and iPad deployments at enterprise scale.
POTS Replacement
MetTel's POTS replacement solutions are manufactured in the United States and support overnight device deployment from MetTel warehouses. Designed for enterprises with large numbers of legacy analog lines — elevator phones, fax machines, alarm systems, point-of-sale terminals — that need a compliant migration path for the FCC copper sunset.
SD-WAN & Managed Networking
MetTel's SD-WAN runs over a private dedicated network with 7 fully redundant gateways and 19 global network nodes (9 US, 3 Canada, 1 Central America, 2 EMEA, 4 APAC). With 3 NOCs and 25,000+ managed network sites, MetTel delivers consistent global WAN performance backed by enterprise-grade support infrastructure.
Cloud & UCaaS
Cloud voice, UCaaS, and Microsoft Teams integration — converged over one bill and managed by one support team. Because MetTel also manages the underlying network, voice quality issues are diagnosed and resolved end-to-end without finger-pointing between separate vendors.
Connected Laptop as a Service
MetTel's CLaaS (Connected Laptop as a Service) delivers pre-configured, managed laptops with built-in connectivity as a monthly subscription — combining hardware, management, and support in one. Designed for distributed workforces and organizations with high employee turnover where device lifecycle management is a recurring operational burden.

Why MetTel
Key Strengths
What sets MetTel apart from other managed telecom providers — and where its scale and federal credentials deliver the most value.
MetTel has over 25 years of managed telecom experience and manages more than one million voice and data lines — providing the scale, process maturity, and institutional knowledge that mid-market and large enterprises need from a long-term managed telecom partner.
MetTel was selected by the US GSA for the Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions (EIS) contract — a $50 billion, 15-year vehicle for federal civilian agencies. Federal organizations can access MetTel services through this pre-approved vehicle without a separate procurement process.
MetTel operates a private dedicated network with 7 fully redundant SD-WAN gateways, 19 global network nodes, and 3 NOCs monitoring 25,000+ sites worldwide. This private infrastructure — rather than reliance on public internet — underpins consistent global performance and centralized support.
MetTel holds an exclusive Apple partnership for universal device enrollment — enabling zero-touch iPhone and iPad provisioning at enterprise scale. New devices arrive pre-configured and ready to use, eliminating manual setup for large mobile workforce deployments.
