Solaris Wireless, founded 2013, offers Device-as-a-Service for institutional buyers: bundled hardware, custom OS imaging, MDM auto-enrolment, kitting, direct-to-employee fulfillment, in-life replacement, and end-of-life reverse logistics on a single per-device monthly fee. Coverage spans mobile (iPhone, Pixel, Samsung Galaxy, Sonim, Kyocera), laptops, IoT, ruggedised hardware, and specialist devices. Capital cost moves to operating expense; Solaris carries inventory, lifecycle and disposal.
Device-as-a-Service is a procurement model where the buyer pays a per-device monthly fee that covers the device itself, custom OS imaging, MDM enrolment, kitting, direct-to-employee fulfillment, in-life support and replacement, and end-of-life reverse logistics. Capital cost moves to operating expense. The supplier carries inventory, lifecycle replacement, refurbishment and disposal. The buyer's IT team manages the policy and the workforce, not the supply chain.
Solaris's DaaS model is built for institutional buyers who already understand the cost of running device procurement, MDM, fulfilment, replacement and disposal as four separate contracts with four separate suppliers. Consolidating those into a single per-device monthly fee typically reduces total cost of ownership by 12-22% on a 500-10,000 device fleet.
Pricing is a per-device per-month fee scoped to: device model, term length (24, 36 or 48 months), MDM platform, fulfilment model (direct-to-employee or depot), in-life replacement SLA tier, accessory bundle, and end-of-life option (refurbish-and-redeploy or certified disposal). Solaris quotes per-device pricing within one business day of receiving the scope. There is no upfront capital outlay; the fee starts the month the first device ships.
For MVNO and carrier engagements, the per-device fee can be bundled with SIM activation and carrier connectivity into a single per-subscriber per-month fee covering hardware, connectivity and lifecycle.
DaaS fits organisations that want predictable per-device operating cost, a single supplier carrying procurement plus lifecycle plus disposal, and faster end-of-term refresh cycles. Outright purchase fits organisations with capital budget headroom, in-house IT staging capacity, a long-tail device mix the buyer prefers to manage internally, or compliance requirements that mandate ownership of the asset.
Solaris offers both engagement models. For mid-size enterprise fleets (500-10,000 devices) with hybrid or distributed workforces, DaaS typically reduces total cost of ownership by 12-22% versus DIY procurement plus separate MDM, fulfilment and disposal contracts. For specialist hardware (Sonim, Kyocera, Zebra, body cameras) or sub-500 device fleets, outright purchase often wins on TCO; Solaris quotes both side-by-side at proposal stage.

DaaS suits organisations that want operating-expense treatment, predictable per-device cost, and a single supplier carrying the lifecycle. Outright purchase suits organisations with capital budget, internal IT staging capacity, and a long-tail device mix. For mid-size enterprise (500-10,000 devices) DaaS typically reduces total cost of ownership by 12-22% versus DIY procurement plus separate MDM, fulfillment and disposal contracts.
Yes. Standard Solaris DaaS includes warranty management, accidental damage replacement at agreed SLA tier (next-business-day, second-business-day or in-week), pre-imaged replacement device shipped direct to the employee, and reverse-logistics retrieval of the failed device for refurbishment or disposal.
Yes. For MVNO operators and carrier engagements, Solaris bundles the device with SIM activation, carrier-specific firmware, splash-screen branding and pre-pairing of each handset to the subscriber's account. The MVNO operator pays a single per-subscriber per-month fee covering device, connectivity and lifecycle.
Solaris responds within one business day with per-device pricing, term proposals and a side-by-side comparison against outright purchase.
