About Us
The Open Reality Difference
Open Reality brings together a focused portfolio of technologies that power modern connected environments, from Wi-Fi design and infrastructure through to data centre networking, cellular and private 5G, network testing, and workplace collaboration.
We support our partners at every stage, whether they’re planning and optimising wireless networks, deploying resilient edge and data centre infrastructure, validating performance, or delivering high-quality meeting room experiences. By combining proven vendors, specialist expertise, and hands-on support, we make it easier for our partners to design smarter, deploy faster, and deliver better outcomes for their customers.
The real value comes from how we work alongside you. We don’t sit in the background pushing boxes, we work alongside our partners, getting into the detail, understanding the requirement, and helping shape the right solution from the outset. That means quicker answers, better designs, and stronger proposals that stand up in front of customers.
Our team is accessible, responsive, and invested in your success, so you’re never left to figure things out on your own. If you’re used to being treated like just another account, you’ll notice the difference straight away. We help you move faster and win more business with confidence.
Our History
We’ve come a long way since we were founded over 20 years ago. Setup in 1999, Open Reality was a specialist in network testing, monitoring, and optimisation. We made sure that organisations achieved their goals by successfully delivering business applications, keeping users happy and the business moving.
Then in 2006 we met Ekahau and everything changed. Ekahau were a small team of disruptors producing game changing wireless design software that was setting the fledgling wireless industry ablaze. We signed a distribution agreement with them and never looked back. Built on the success of this relationship we started to build a dedicated distribution business, and as of 2026 work with sixteen leading vendors across cellular, Wi-Fi, network performance and testing, data centre, edge networking, and collaboration and AV.
Our Team
We might be smaller than broadline distributors, but it’s precisely this characteristic that enables us to provide a more personalised and attentive experience. We are proud of our close-knit team that is passionate about their work. Every interaction with Open Reality reflects the care, dedication, and attention to detail that only a smaller team can provide.
Because our people are our biggest asset, we go to great lengths to find and recruit the best. Once on board we look after them carefully which results in an exceedingly low staff turnover, directly benefitting our customers through sales and service continuity.
