MIST Innovations Gets Mexican Distributor

MIST Innovations, a network security monitoring developer in Detroit, has secured a distributor in Mexico to market and distribute its signature product, MISTonDemand II.

The distributor, Protektar SA de CV, will be the exclusive distributor of the product throughout Mexico.

The innovative MoD II system provides businesses complete, convenient and secure access to their video surveillance system via their smart phone or personal digital assistant at a significantly reduced cost.

"MIST Innovations' agreement with Protektar positions MoD II as an industry leader in mobile security monitoring technology," said Craig Capece, president & CEO, MIST Innovations. "There's tremendous potential for a product like MoD II throughout Mexico so we're very pleased about this new relationship."

Protektar SA de CV is a newly formed subsidiary of Vedirey SA, which offers IT products and services and business consulting. According to the agreement, the company will provide direct sales, installation and support for MoD II as well as sell to security system integrators. MIST Innovations will provide second level support to Protektar.

"This is an opportune time for Protektar to bring MoD II to the public and private sectors in Mexico where security is of great concern and priority," said Francisco Gonzalez, president of Protektar SA de CV. "We are confident that it will be very well received and look forward to this new enterprise."

Protektar will initially focus on government, institutional and national accounts and work to build a network of authorized resellers throughout the security industry in Mexico.

MoD II users connect into their existing security system at any time to watch real-time, streaming video of their businesses. Clients can switch between cameras, showing one location or even look at multiple locations using the product. Additionally, MoD II transmits a picture only when the customer connects into the system, so it does not tie up the cellular network.

This is the second distribution agreement for MIST Innovations. In 2009, the company partnered with ProTel Solutions, a UK-based telecom company, to become the MoD II distributor throughout Europe.
