Avant Communications and its sales partners are getting their hands on BCN’s portfolio.

The master agent and the “technology solutions provider” announced an agreement to give Avant access to BCN’s voice, data, wireless and cloud services. BCN, which says it is “100-percent channel-focused,” has single-source solutions stemming from more than 75 network providers.

“We are excited to offer our trusted-adviser channel partners the power of BCN to deliver nationwide multiproduct, multicarrier solutions with billing for all services consolidated into one monthly invoice,” said Shane McNamara, Avant’s executive vice president of East sales. “BCN is a winning addition to the Avant Communications portfolio. You can find them listed in our … Avant BattleApp.”

BCN will assist Avant in helping subagents customize and deliver solutions for customers, including network monitoring, SD-WAN and 4G wireless backup.

“BCN is honored to be a part of Avant’s robust portfolio of … solutions. Their longstanding reputation for exceptional partner enablement complements BCN’s value proposition and positions our teams to succeed in delivering unique, high-quality technology solutions for customers,” said Michael Ginsburg, BCN’s vice president of sales.

Avant previously signed a deal with Globalgig to increase its wireless play. BCN has been realigning its leadership structure this summer. Vice presidents Andrew Rosen and Jeanne Duca will work with Ginsburg on partner engagement.

BCN used to go as BCN Telecom but has rebranded in the last year. It did a similar master-agent partnership with WTG earlier this year.
