Smart technology firm agrees major distribution deal

Internet of things provider LightwaveRF has agreed an expanded deal with a manufacturer that will result in orders totalling at least £2m in the next year.

Deta, which makes and distributes wiring and electrical accessories, has placed an initial order of £350,000.

The agreement follows on from an original distribution agreement which was signed in July 2015.

LightwaveRF chief executive Andrew Pearson expects the new agreement to have a big impact on the company’s sales.

He said: “Deta is an established, leading supplier to the UK electrical wholesale market and is ideally placed to launch, promote and sell this range of smart home devices, based on Lightwave’s technology.

“Deta’s sales team will allow us to significantly scale up our coverage across the electrical wholesale sector.”

Gerry Barnett, managing director of Deta, added: “The combination of Lightwave smart home technology and our expanding range of high-quality wiring and electrical accessories will enable Deta to deliver comprehensive and modern smart home solutions across this important market sector.”
