ADT announces partnership with DISH Network

ADT and DISH Network Corporation on Tuesday announced a partnership whereby DISH will begin marketing, sales and installation services for ADT smart home security products.

As part of the partnership, customers of DISH, which has more than 20 million subscribers across its pay-TV and wireless brands nationwide, will receive access to ADT products and services sold and installed by DISH’s network of smart home professionals. OnTech Smart Services, a subsidiary of DISH, will also serve as an installation provider.

“Our partnership with DISH significantly extends ADT’s reach to bring more innovative smart home security solutions to millions of existing and potential subscribers,” ADT President and CEO Jim DeVries said in a statement. “This complementary agreement with an industry leader represents yet another channel to further expand ADT’s subscriber base.”

“Americans are spending more time at home this year than ever before, and entertainment, access to information, and the safety and well-being of their families and loved ones are at the forefront of their minds,” said Brian Neylon, EVP and Group President of DISH TV. “We are always looking for ways to add value for our customers, and ADT’s home security products and services are the perfect pairing to our current smart home and entertainment technology offerings from DISH and OnTech.”

The DISH partnership continues ADT’s improved growth trajectory, following Google’s $450 million equity investment in the company last fall and the recently announced partnership with Ackerman Security Systems.
