The new partnership aims to expand enterprise channel reach.

Arelion has established a Telecom Service Distributor (TSD) partnership with Sandler Partners, a North American independent telecom, cloud, and IT solutions distributor. This partnership will expand the global carrier’s enterprise channel reach by offering Arelion's full portfolio of connectivity services to Sandler Partners' wholesale and enterprise customers.

This collaboration expands Arelion's Conflict-Free Channel Program. It enables the service provider to strengthen engagement with the Trusted Advisor community by serving medium and large enterprises' connectivity needs through its global Internet backbone.

Arelion's Conflict-Free Channel Program has been honored with ChannelVision's prestigious Visionary Spotlight Award for 'Most Responsive Supplier Team' for four consecutive years. This accolade is a testament to our channel-neutral strategy, which ensures no conflict between Arelion's Channel and sales teams. Our globally distributed service delivery teams, which are market experts, take ownership of customers' solutions from implementation to delivery, reflecting our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional customer experiences on a global scale.

With Arelion's connectivity services, Sandler Partners can meet their customers' business-critical networking requirements. This strategic move ensures continued growth for Sandler Partners and underscores Arelion's commitment to providing reliable and robust solutions across diverse sectors. 

"Arelion has a strong track record in providing scalable IP and optical transport services through exemplary customer experiences, making it an ideal partner to serve our customers' networking requirements,” said Justin Marano, Sandler Partners CRO.
