through MiDeal, the State of Michigan’s extended purchasing
program.
“This contract award clearly demonstrates Michigan’s commitment
to ensuring that government and public safety agencies, educational
institutions, and medical facilities across the state have access
to the most current communications capabilities,” said Massimo
Peselli, Chief Revenue Officer of Global Enterprise & Public

will not only help these agencies modernize the way they do
business, but also enable them to better serve their constituents
by improving efficiency.”
