Single Digits Closes Funding Totaling $10 Million

Innovator of Mobile Device Connectivity, Management and Support Services Looks to the Cloud for Future Growth


MANCHESTER, NH--(Marketwire - May 17, 2012) - Single Digits, Inc, a leading, global provider of High Speed Internet Access solutions, today announced the receipt of $10 million in funding from Boston-based Tudor Growth Equity, the private equity arm of Tudor Investment Corporation. The new funding will be utilized to support the company's rapid growth and product development for ensuring laptops, smartphones, tablets and other WiFi-enabled devices, are securely connected to the Internet and managed/supported vis-à-vis traditional IT infrastructures and new cloud-based services and applications.

"Enterprise companies, retail stores, hotels and healthcare institutions are just a few examples of overburdened, oversubscribed IT environments in need of immediate, third-party support to alleviate the bandwidth consumption from mobile devices seeking Internet-based services," said Bob Goldstein, Single Digits' Founder and CEO. "The funding received will immediately support our growth, enable us to strengthen our global support and engineering services while targeting new vertical markets with our cloud-based connectivity and support services."

Single Digits continues to experience strong demand for its Internet access solutions as Chief Information Officers (CIOs), and other individuals responsible for device connectivity, are faced with the prospect of large CAPEX IT spending to support trends such as Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and lower cost, more powerful consumer handheld devices. In lieu of building out parallel networks for mobile device connectivity, Single Digits alleviates the IT burden with the opportunity to reroute guest-related mobile device traffic onto its secure cloud network -- fully supported by Single Digits' 24x7 Network Operations Center (NOC).

"When making investments, we look for companies that have a firm grasp on their target market's operational challenges and produce plausible solutions based on actual needs," said Jeff Williams, Partner, Tudor Growth Equity. "With their legacy in hospitality and retail connectivity, Single Digits is clearly an organization that embraces this philosophy. They realize that situations such as BYOD are not only issue plaguing enterprise corporations, but a communication and security challenge affecting many types of organizations. Our funding will enable them to quickly take their proven and successful business model and expand it into the healthcare and higher education verticals, while strengthening their core hospitality and retail markets."
