REDONDO BEACH, Calif., July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sandler Partners, the nation’s leading independent technology distributor, today announced a distribution agreement with Point5, a Managed Connectivity Provider serving multi-site and regulated enterprises. This partnership gives Partners a specialized resource for complex Connectivity deals, backed by a team that owns delivery from design through post-sale support.

Sandler Partners adds Point5 to their Provider portfolio, giving Partners a Managed Connectivity Provider option to support clients with complex Connectivity needs.

As enterprises expand into multiple sites and regulated markets, Connectivity projects often run into trouble after the contract is signed. Point5 stays on the account from design through post-sale support, handling data and voice optimization, colocation sourcing, and MPLS migration for organizations moving off legacy systems. For Partners, it means bringing complex, global Connectivity deals to clients in pharma, finance, AEC, and healthcare with a team in place to see them through.

“Point5 fills an important need for Partners pursuing high-value Connectivity deals in regulated and global environments,” said Mark Phaneuf, SVP, Channel – East and Canada. “They give our Partners access to many new suppliers throughout the world that are unique to Sandler and were previously not in the Channel. Point5’s vendor-agnostic, execution-first approach provides another way to help our Partners support their clients with specialized Connectivity requirements. We’re pleased to add them to our portfolio and have had some large wins already!”

“Complex connectivity deals live and die on execution, not just carrier relationships,” said Brandon Byrne, Founder & Chief Strategy Officer at Point5. “By joining Sandler’s network, we bring our practitioner-led model directly to those deals, ensuring there’s a team behind every partner that will get it done.”

With this partnership between Sandler Partners and Point5, Partners can pursue complex, multi-site Connectivity deals without sacrificing confidence in how they get delivered.
