Who is Data2Go Wireless
Data2Go Wireless is a national, end-to-end Data Service Provider focusing on the Internet of Things (IoT), Machine to Machine (M2M) and the Wireless Network Services Markets. Data2Go has built a “Platform as a Service” (PaaS) business that provides wireless connectivity and enables customers and the Agent Channel to connect, manage and bill via a cloud-based connectivity platform. Founded in 2012 and acquired by Zirrus Group in 2014, Data2Go Wireless has been serving the wireless connectivity needs of businesses across the United States. Their mission is to help your company meet the ever growing challenges of data connectivity. Whether you are trying to create a highly available data network or enabling your M2M or IoT devices, Data2Go can help.
There are three main applications that businesses need to have, and these applications will always need an internet connection. These three main applications include payment transactions, VoIP, and Cloud-based applications. You may have DSL, T1, or a Metro Ethernet connection, but your business is still not immune to outages or slow connections. Whether you’re a retail store, restaurant, or law firm, every business needs a backup internet connection. From inventory control to managing schedules to point of sale transactions, a fast, reliable, internet connection is the bloodline of any business. With DataPro2Go, you can diversify your internet technology with a backup internet connection and get access to their nationwide LTE wireless network starting at $9.95 a month. It’s fast, reliable, and delivered from the cloud.
Data2Go Wireless has a few payment plans you can choose from when it comes to pricing. One of their plans gives you the option to pay as you go; they’re able to offer this because they built their platform. Once you purchase the hardware you can choose from one of the plans below:

In the portal, role-based access ensures managers only see the details for their team, department or cost center. Similarly, email summaries and notifications include only the relevant details.

Second, their experts make contextual recommendations within the nuances of the business, planning for human factors that software cannot anticipate.
