Cellhub wins CRN & ChannelVision awards for services
Mon, 10th Aug 2026 (Today)
Cellhub has received three industry accolades from CRN and ChannelVision for its leadership and managed services business.
The awards recognised Chief Executive Officer Andy Sinha, Director of Partner Marketing Cindy Tank-Murphy, and the company's managed services portfolio, which includes the SCOT cost optimisation platform and the DesignX automated configuration platform.
Cellhub, which describes itself as the Primary Agent for T-Mobile, said the honours reflect its shift beyond connectivity resale to managed services for channel partners, including managed service providers and value-added resellers.
The three accolades were Sinha's inclusion in CRN's CEO Outlook, Tank-Murphy's selection for CRN's Women of the Channel list, and a ChannelVision Visionary Spotlight Award in the Top Innovators category.
The recognition comes as Cellhub expands its offering in sectors including healthcare, retail, and enterprise connectivity. Its managed services practice covers OSS/BSS integration, cost optimisation, and network design, alongside mobility, internet of things, and fibre services.
Cellhub helps partners assemble connectivity environments that would otherwise require relationships with multiple telecoms and data suppliers. It said this approach is aimed at customers with complex network requirements, including hospital systems and large grocery chains.
Channel focus
In CRN's CEO Outlook feature, Sinha outlined his view of market demand for cellular-first network models.
"Businesses continue to seek simpler, lower-cost, cellular-first network architectures that can accommodate 5G capabilities, which allow for faster deployments, greater resilience, and more streamlined operations," said Andy Sinha, Chief Executive Officer, Cellhub.
He also addressed how partners may need to adapt as customer requirements change.
"Channel partners who are agile enough to shift from the simple resale of a connectivity platform to delivering more comprehensive, outcome-driven 5G solutions will benefit most from these trends," Sinha said.
Tank-Murphy's inclusion on the Women of the Channel list marked the first appearance by a Cellhub executive in the ranking. Cellhub credited her with shaping partner marketing and brand development as the business broadened its services model.
ChannelVision's award recognised the company's managed services expansion and its work to bring together 5G, LAN/WAN, and Wi-Fi environments for partners serving more demanding settings.
Service expansion
The managed services portfolio highlighted in the award includes SCOT, which Cellhub uses for Strategic Cost Optimisation & Transformation, and DesignX, a self-service architectural configuration platform. According to the company, the two platforms support modernisation projects through network cost analysis and design.
The business has also built market-specific programmes. In healthcare, it offers Hospitals Without Walls, designed to support remote clinical care. In retail, its Connected Store programme is aimed at grocery businesses pursuing more digital operations.
Beyond connectivity, Cellhub said its security offering includes a modular Zero Trust platform built around SEMM and T-SIM Secure. It described T-SIM Secure as a carrier-native network security layer.
Chief Revenue Officer John Tonthat said the recognition reflected work across the company's partner strategy and service development.
"These honors reflect the level of investment and tactical vision the entire team has put toward making the sale of turnkey, high-performance connectivity environments attainable for channel partners," Tonthat said.
He added that channel firms are looking for a clearer route into complex areas of networking.
"We're happy to see that our strategies are resonating in the channel and beyond, since MSPs and VARs are always looking to make inroads in rapidly evolving and complex categories like 5G," he said.
Cellhub said it has more than three decades of industry experience and now positions itself as a coordinator of cellular-first technology services. Its pitch to partners centres on combining connectivity, security, lifecycle operations, and managed services in a single offering for sectors where network resilience and remote access have become more important.
The recent awards suggest this broader model, rather than pure connectivity distribution, is becoming central to how Cellhub presents itself to the IT channel.
