The acquisition of Echo Technologies Services, LLC ("Echo"), a telecommunications firm specialising in comprehensive connectivity services, including WiFi, live streaming, CCTV, and fibre transport to music festivals, live sports events, and other special events throughout North America, was announced by CES Power LLC, a leading global provider of mobile power generation, distribution, and temperature control equipment. The deal's financial details weren't made public. Allied Industrial Partners ("AIP"), a private equity business with an industrial concentration, is CES Power's backer.
To develop CES Technologies, a new subsidiary devoted to meeting its customers' needs for advanced technology, Echo will be united with CES Power's Brickworks. Leading supplier of geographic information system ("GIS") services and smart mapping software, Brickworks was bought by CES Power in September 2022.
To enable point of sale (POS) transactions, RFID access control, WiFi connectivity, and live streaming at significant live events, Echo supplies digital and physical infrastructure, including structured cabling, WiFi, CCTV, and fibre construction. Echo is a provider of dependable and economical network services to a number of clients, including Live Nation, Ticketmaster, and Front Gate Tickets. Echo was founded by Jay Henderson, who will be joining CES Technologies. By utilising its cutting-edge mobile command centre platform, which is made up of the most cutting-edge high-tech hardware, including integrated telescoping antenna masts, redundant routing and switching, high-density WiFi access points, integrated solar power, and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery storage, Echo achieves industry-leading uptime. Real-time monitoring and the greatest levels of cybersecurity are made possible by Echo's cutting-edge network software.
"We are excited to welcome Jay and the entire Echo team as we continue to pursue our goal of becoming the global leader in providing full-service technology and energy solutions to the largest live events in the country," said Greg Landa, CEO of CES Power. "We are also proud to launch CES Technologies, which combines the complementary tech offerings of Echo and Brickworks in one software and interactive mapping platform, allowing clients and partners to have access to a full suite of connected and integrated services for real-time data and monitoring."
