Continuity and Growth: Why the 5G Router Industry Is Watching This Acquisition Closely
Crystal Lake, United States – March 28, 2026 / 5Gstore.com /
Connected Solutions Group (CSG), a national leader in wireless distribution and deployment services, has announced the private acquisition of 5Gstore and its parent company, MDG Connected Solutions. The transaction is targeted to close in February 2026, marking a significant milestone in the wireless connectivity industry as two established organizations combine their complementary strengths to better serve enterprise, government, and SMB customers across the country.
The acquisition unites two well-regarded companies with proven track records in cellular hardware, services, and customer experience. 5Gstore will continue to operate under its existing brand, with founders Michael and Julia Ginsberg retaining their leadership roles and maintaining oversight of day-to-day operations, ensuring a seamless transition for customers, partners, and manufacturers alike.
“At this stage in our careers, we weren’t simply looking for an exit,” said 5Gstore founder Mike Ginsberg, “but a partner who sees the value in what we have built and has the desire to take it to the next level. Julia and I had opportunities over the years, but decided we wanted to do right by our employees and the business we have built to ensure its future success. We believe the team at CSG not only values our product and our team but has the creativity to move our brand forward into further connectivity generations.”
A core principle guiding the acquisition is operational continuity. 5Gstore will preserve its established brand identity while Michael and Julia Ginsberg remain in place to lead the business. This approach is designed to protect the specialized culture that 5Gstore has cultivated over decades – one defined by SEO leadership, fulfillment accuracy, and a widely respected level of technical support that customers have come to rely on when sourcing 5G Router solutions and other cellular connectivity products.
“To say this is a dream come true may sound hyperbolic,” said CSG CEO Michael Pittman, “but this is something we have talked about and ideated around for many years. The idea of combining forces with industry legends Mike and Julia Ginsberg – founders and operators of 5Gstore – to collaborate and build on each other’s strengths and weaknesses and form a unified customer-experience giant has been a literal dream. And here we are,” he continued.
Customers, partners, and manufacturers can expect full business continuity following the close of the transaction. Ordering, fulfillment, technical support, and vendor relationships will remain unchanged, with additional capabilities expected to be introduced over time as the two organizations integrate their operations and resources.
CSG has established a national reputation for large-scale wireless deployment and enablement services, including programming, staging, kitting, logistics, installation, and managed support. The company maintains deep carrier relationships and a nationwide operational footprint that serves a broad range of enterprise, government, and SMB customers. That infrastructure, combined with 5Gstore’s expertise in 5G Router hardware, technical guidance, and direct-to-customer fulfillment, positions the combined organization as a more capable and comprehensive resource for the market.
The acquisition is structured to expand capabilities rather than consolidate or reduce operations. Customers will gain access to additional deployment and managed service options, increased execution capacity, and a broader operational reach – all while continuing to work with the same teams and processes they rely on today. The transaction is not intended to disrupt existing relationships but rather to strengthen them through added resources and investment.
For OEMs and channel partners, the combined organization presents a stronger sales engine, enhanced content and demand generation capabilities, and the ability to support national-scale execution across a wider range of connectivity solutions. The partnership is expected to open new avenues for growth and collaboration across the channel.
Employees across both organizations stand to benefit from the transaction as well, gaining access to expanded growth opportunities, a larger support structure, and increased investment in the strengths that have defined each company individually. The acquisition reflects a shared commitment to building a stronger, more capable organization for the long term.
The transaction is expected to close in mid-February 2026, subject to customary conditions.
