-
you're only halfway to Arizona when you're only halfway to Arizona when you're there and uh and it's crazy from you're there and uh and it's crazy from you're there and uh and it's crazy from the far border of Texas to El Paso is the far border of Texas to El Paso is the far border of Texas to El Paso is longer than from El Paso to Los Angeles longer than from El Paso to Los Angeles longer than from El Paso to Los Angeles so it's crazy so all of this in the so it's crazy so all of this in the so it's crazy so all of this in the Tesla or not Tesla or not Tesla or not no way way no way no way way no way no way way no way there's no way I would have killed there's no way I would have killed there's no way I would have killed myself ever stop every few hours and myself ever stop every few hours and myself ever stop every few hours and charge and it's impossible actually to charge and it's impossible actually to charge and it's impossible actually to go from Houston to to Seattle on the go from Houston to to Seattle on the go from Houston to to Seattle on the supercharger Network in the U.S supercharger Network in the U.S supercharger Network in the U.S I think it is but only because it's you I think it is but only because it's you I think it is but only because it's you can follow two really major highways uh can follow two really major highways uh can follow two really major highways uh because I-10 going east and west is a because I-10 going east and west is a because I-10 going east and west is a major highway than the five you know major highway than the five you know major highway than the five you know going from where Leonard lives all the going from where Leonard lives all the going from where Leonard lives all the way up to the very top is a major and so way up to the very top is a major and so way up to the very top is a major and so you probably could you probably could you probably could but it would have taken me probably but it would have taken me probably but it would have taken me probably twice or three times as long to do it twice or three times as long to do it twice or three times as long to do it um if I was having to charge all the um if I was having to charge all the um if I was having to charge all the time so yeah that'd be difficult time so yeah that'd be difficult time so yeah that'd be difficult and I guess they're in is the problem and I guess they're in is the problem and I guess they're in is the problem there's a big group or you know big part there's a big group or you know big part there's a big group or you know big part of the population that needs to get past of the population that needs to get past of the population that needs to get past that I guess of you know I can't take a that I guess of you know I can't take a that I guess of you know I can't take a long drive even though I hear people do long drive even though I hear people do long drive even though I hear people do it it it you know and you know and you know and we have a sandwich or something yeah we we have a sandwich or something yeah we we have a sandwich or something yeah we live in a big and small world live in a big and small world live in a big and small world right yeah and uh yeah those road trips right yeah and uh yeah those road trips right yeah and uh yeah those road trips are great because you learn so much you are great because you learn so much you are great because you learn so much you know I I find myself know I I find myself know I I find myself um uh you know accounting counting cell
-
um uh you know accounting counting cell um uh you know accounting counting cell towers for some reason it's like a real towers for some reason it's like a real towers for some reason it's like a real odd habit of mine when it go on oh hey odd habit of mine when it go on oh hey odd habit of mine when it go on oh hey look at that cell tower oh I think look at that cell tower oh I think look at that cell tower oh I think that's what Wireless industry people do that's what Wireless industry people do that's what Wireless industry people do they count cell towers that's great they count cell towers that's great they count cell towers that's great Leonard yeah Leonard yeah Leonard yeah yeah yeah yeah but you know one of the things that I've but you know one of the things that I've but you know one of the things that I've noticed in many of the conferences that noticed in many of the conferences that noticed in many of the conferences that I'm going to I mean you know more I'm going to I mean you know more I'm going to I mean you know more recently the National Association of recently the National Association of recently the National Association of broadcasting is broadcasting is broadcasting is um you know there's a lot of um you know there's a lot of um you know there's a lot of um blending of Wireless Technologies for um blending of Wireless Technologies for um blending of Wireless Technologies for for backhaul right so on the access side for backhaul right so on the access side for backhaul right so on the access side you might have let something like Laura you might have let something like Laura you might have let something like Laura and then it's going through a Gateway or and then it's going through a Gateway or and then it's going through a Gateway or it's it's incorporated into a CP or it's it's incorporated into a CP or it's it's incorporated into a CP or whatever uh a 5G or some other kind of whatever uh a 5G or some other kind of whatever uh a 5G or some other kind of uh you know back call Access but uh you know back call Access but uh you know back call Access but um one of the things I was surprised um one of the things I was surprised um one of the things I was surprised about was how often uh startling came up about was how often uh startling came up about was how often uh startling came up in the conversation used as backhaul and in the conversation used as backhaul and in the conversation used as backhaul and so I think one of the things that we can so I think one of the things that we can so I think one of the things that we can expect going forward is a lot more like expect going forward is a lot more like expect going forward is a lot more like let's let's call it an expanded uh let's let's call it an expanded uh let's let's call it an expanded uh mindset about how we can deploy mindset about how we can deploy mindset about how we can deploy um Solutions and the role of different um Solutions and the role of different um Solutions and the role of different types of Technologies and protocols in types of Technologies and protocols in types of Technologies and protocols in in you know infrastructure deployments in you know infrastructure deployments in you know infrastructure deployments right that support let's say right that support let's say right that support let's say Agriculture and and you know I my sense Agriculture and and you know I my sense Agriculture and and you know I my sense is a lot of the stuff is still pretty

is a lot of the stuff is still pretty is a lot of the stuff is still pretty nascent do you know what I'm saying nascent do you know what I'm saying nascent do you know what I'm saying um it it seems like it would be obvious um it it seems like it would be obvious um it it seems like it would be obvious but people haven't and I think it was but people haven't and I think it was but people haven't and I think it was it's been the back of people's minds and it's been the back of people's minds and it's been the back of people's minds and I I think you guys are doing some stuff I I think you guys are doing some stuff I I think you guys are doing some stuff at things industries right along those at things industries right along those at things industries right along those lines I'm wrong I'm wrong I think the kind of how I see it is that I think the kind of how I see it is that I think the kind of how I see it is that we have this big kind of vision or an we have this big kind of vision or an we have this big kind of vision or an iot or connectivity of ubiquitous iot or connectivity of ubiquitous iot or connectivity of ubiquitous connectivity which is like a very fancy connectivity which is like a very fancy connectivity which is like a very fancy term and high term and and and how we're term and high term and and and how we're term and high term and and and how we're gonna get there it's gonna be very messy gonna get there it's gonna be very messy gonna get there it's gonna be very messy uh from the start it's going to be spots uh from the start it's going to be spots uh from the start it's going to be spots and it's going to be and and satellite and it's going to be and and satellite and it's going to be and and satellite it's just very clear it's gonna have the it's just very clear it's gonna have the it's just very clear it's gonna have the power of zero spots it's gonna have the power of zero spots it's gonna have the power of zero spots it's gonna have the power zero so it's not the satellite is power zero so it's not the satellite is power zero so it's not the satellite is not gonna not gonna not gonna it's going to fill this final Gap and it's going to fill this final Gap and it's going to fill this final Gap and make sure that it's always possible it make sure that it's always possible it make sure that it's always possible it comes at a cost right yeah I do believe comes at a cost right yeah I do believe comes at a cost right yeah I do believe that you will see kind of a massive that you will see kind of a massive that you will see kind of a massive consolidation on on Space iot companies consolidation on on Space iot companies consolidation on on Space iot companies um going forward in kind of the next 12 um going forward in kind of the next 12 um going forward in kind of the next 12 months yeah months yeah months yeah um and there will be a few ones that um and there will be a few ones that um and there will be a few ones that will deliver kind of propositions that will deliver kind of propositions that will deliver kind of propositions that that are going to be that are going to be that are going to be gonna be super super exciting gonna be super super exciting gonna be super super exciting but what I do also believe it's going to but what I do also believe it's going to but what I do also believe it's going to be filling the Gap so be filling the Gap so be filling the Gap so that probably is not a really great that probably is not a really great that probably is not a really great pitch to your
-
pitch to your pitch to your VC when you're gonna kind of spend money VC when you're gonna kind of spend money VC when you're gonna kind of spend money on launching these satellites and hey on launching these satellites and hey on launching these satellites and hey yeah we're going to fill a few gaps yeah we're going to fill a few gaps yeah we're going to fill a few gaps right so how are you going to monetize right so how are you going to monetize right so how are you going to monetize on that right like like so but I I do on that right like like so but I I do on that right like like so but I I do feel that there are kind of there's a feel that there are kind of there's a feel that there are kind of there's a there's a there's a space I must say there's a there's a space I must say there's a there's a space I must say when they talked about satellite when they talked about satellite when they talked about satellite cellular at Mobile World Congress cellular at Mobile World Congress cellular at Mobile World Congress like they needed something like that like they needed something like that like they needed something like that they needed a 2023 theme they needed a 2023 theme they needed a 2023 theme like two months a half the CEO said give like two months a half the CEO said give like two months a half the CEO said give me something give me something right me something give me something right me something give me something right yeah give me something oh here's the yeah give me something oh here's the yeah give me something oh here's the settlement yeah oh yeah I said live well settlement yeah oh yeah I said live well settlement yeah oh yeah I said live well fine and then uh so I thought it was fine and then uh so I thought it was fine and then uh so I thought it was like it was really kind of I don't like it was really kind of I don't like it was really kind of I don't didn't really feel serious but I I also didn't really feel serious but I I also didn't really feel serious but I I also feel that that it's that's that's feel that that it's that's that's feel that that it's that's that's filling the spots um and then as a filling the spots um and then as a filling the spots um and then as a backhaul we have a setup here and we we backhaul we have a setup here and we we backhaul we have a setup here and we we have a completely working with the have a completely working with the have a completely working with the starlink uh my issue with Starling is starlink uh my issue with Starling is starlink uh my issue with Starling is that that that I see that the demand comes from places I see that the demand comes from places I see that the demand comes from places which are not so friendly and and if you which are not so friendly and and if you which are not so friendly and and if you put it somewhere and there's a put it somewhere and there's a put it somewhere and there's a likelihood of a rock falling on the likelihood of a rock falling on the likelihood of a rock falling on the satellite kind of thingy then I don't satellite kind of thingy then I don't satellite kind of thingy then I don't know how that's going to survive so I I know how that's going to survive so I I know how that's going to survive so I I don't I don't it's not really a don't I don't it's not really a don't I don't it's not really a ruggedized thing it's really an ruggedized thing it's really an ruggedized thing it's really an Enterprise thing you put on a safe place Enterprise thing you put on a safe place Enterprise thing you put on a safe place right and the places where I think my right and the places where I think my right and the places where I think my customers wanting to have that is not customers wanting to have that is not customers wanting to have that is not are not safe places are not safe places are not safe places um right right and also they need kind um right right and also they need kind um right right and also they need kind of I really believe in the problems I think I really believe in the problems I think it's going to take a bit longer and I it's going to take a bit longer and I it's going to take a bit longer and I think the companies that get gonna make think the companies that get gonna make think the companies that get gonna make less money than they expect it will be
-
less money than they expect it will be less money than they expect it will be well ruggedizing stuff is it's doable well ruggedizing stuff is it's doable well ruggedizing stuff is it's doable right it just boils down to cost and right it just boils down to cost and right it just boils down to cost and what makes sense and I you know I think what makes sense and I you know I think what makes sense and I you know I think the trend to watch is how the economics the trend to watch is how the economics the trend to watch is how the economics change though they will I mean they change though they will I mean they change though they will I mean they should I'm not going to say they will should I'm not going to say they will should I'm not going to say they will they should get better uh you know they should get better uh you know they should get better uh you know there's no doubt that starlink uh that there's no doubt that starlink uh that there's no doubt that starlink uh that organization is looking for new Revenue organization is looking for new Revenue organization is looking for new Revenue opportunities and different types of opportunities and different types of opportunities and different types of applications as long as they can support applications as long as they can support applications as long as they can support them uh you know a variety of stuff them uh you know a variety of stuff them uh you know a variety of stuff including all the Broadband stuff the including all the Broadband stuff the including all the Broadband stuff the stuff that they're doing to support stuff that they're doing to support stuff that they're doing to support broadcasting uh and maybe even doing broadcasting uh and maybe even doing broadcasting uh and maybe even doing some of the iot stuff I mean that's all some of the iot stuff I mean that's all some of the iot stuff I mean that's all good for them but I I think good for them but I I think good for them but I I think if we were to look at things from a uh a if we were to look at things from a uh a if we were to look at things from a uh a um um um let's say a solution provider's let's say a solution provider's let's say a solution provider's perspective there's a lot of options do perspective there's a lot of options do perspective there's a lot of options do you know what I'm saying and and can and you know what I'm saying and and can and you know what I'm saying and and can and um I think that's a good thing I think um I think that's a good thing I think um I think that's a good thing I think it's a good thing it's just that in it's a good thing it's just that in it's a good thing it's just that in terms of how people think about what is terms of how people think about what is terms of how people think about what is possible hasn't possible hasn't possible hasn't um it it hasn't formed quite yet you um it it hasn't formed quite yet you um it it hasn't formed quite yet you know it's more of a subconscious thing know it's more of a subconscious thing know it's more of a subconscious thing it's like yeah I kind of know about this it's like yeah I kind of know about this it's like yeah I kind of know about this stuff but they haven't put a lot of stuff but they haven't put a lot of stuff but they haven't put a lot of energy into exploring uh those energy into exploring uh those energy into exploring uh those possibilities but I am hearing more and possibilities but I am hearing more and possibilities but I am hearing more and more uh cases where people are talking more uh cases where people are talking more uh cases where people are talking about like a heterogeneous Network
-
about like a heterogeneous Network about like a heterogeneous Network Technologies coming together to to Technologies coming together to to Technologies coming together to to support new types of deployments or you support new types of deployments or you support new types of deployments or you know deployments that we wish we could know deployments that we wish we could know deployments that we wish we could do that are now possible it's just that do that are now possible it's just that do that are now possible it's just that you know like you you guys are screwing you know like you you guys are screwing you know like you you guys are screwing around with the starlink you're around with the starlink you're around with the starlink you're discovering what works what doesn't all discovering what works what doesn't all discovering what works what doesn't all the issues everything that you just the issues everything that you just the issues everything that you just raised I think are great problems to to raised I think are great problems to to raised I think are great problems to to solve and in advancing uh you know uh in solve and in advancing uh you know uh in solve and in advancing uh you know uh in advancing what can be actually deployed advancing what can be actually deployed advancing what can be actually deployed in addressing customers in addressing customers in addressing customers um challenges right so I don't know man um challenges right so I don't know man um challenges right so I don't know man I think that's it's so what Rob also I think that's it's so what Rob also I think that's it's so what Rob also said it's about the American it's about said it's about the American it's about said it's about the American it's about the anecdotes and The Narrative of of the anecdotes and The Narrative of of the anecdotes and The Narrative of of kind of what what it can do and what kind of what what it can do and what kind of what what it can do and what I've learned is kind of you can that I've learned is kind of you can that I've learned is kind of you can that nobody really cares about if you talk nobody really cares about if you talk nobody really cares about if you talk about your company or your your value about your company or your your value about your company or your your value proposition we we've got we've all built proposition we we've got we've all built proposition we we've got we've all built these kind of ad blockers in our brain these kind of ad blockers in our brain these kind of ad blockers in our brain just to turn off when when when somebody just to turn off when when when somebody just to turn off when when when somebody starts to self-promote starts to self-promote starts to self-promote um but what I've learned is that kind of um but what I've learned is that kind of um but what I've learned is that kind of what always pays attention if you are uh what always pays attention if you are uh what always pays attention if you are uh solving a problem for somebody's solving a problem for somebody's solving a problem for somebody's competitor then people pay attention competitor then people pay attention competitor then people pay attention right so right so right so um we've seen kind of a partner of us is um we've seen kind of a partner of us is um we've seen kind of a partner of us is also oil and gas and Rob maybe you've also oil and gas and Rob maybe you've also oil and gas and Rob maybe you've seen them at the conferences seen them at the conferences seen them at the conferences twtg and and they're kind of building twtg and and they're kind of building twtg and and they're kind of building their first accessories with black tier their first accessories with black tier their first accessories with black tier one oil companies and then all of a one oil companies and then all of a one oil companies and then all of a sudden like they're all gone in because sudden like they're all gone in because sudden like they're all gone in because like if this one does it

like if this one does it like if this one does it uh we should have it as well but uh yeah uh we should have it as well but uh yeah uh we should have it as well but uh yeah it's surprising what you're saying rob it's surprising what you're saying rob it's surprising what you're saying rob that that's still kind of putting that that that's still kind of putting that that that's still kind of putting that on the kind of on on the table and and on the kind of on on the table and and on the kind of on on the table and and the how the how the how uh that we still need to do the uh that we still need to do the uh that we still need to do the evangelization and evangelism yeah yeah evangelization and evangelism yeah yeah evangelization and evangelism yeah yeah I was really surprised because I thought I was really surprised because I thought I was really surprised because I thought everybody knew how by now everybody knew how by now everybody knew how by now um I usually just talk about the use um I usually just talk about the use um I usually just talk about the use cases normally and so yeah I am cases normally and so yeah I am cases normally and so yeah I am surprised when I find a bunch of surprised when I find a bunch of surprised when I find a bunch of high-level maybe it's because it's a high-level maybe it's because it's a high-level maybe it's because it's a high level maybe that's why they don't high level maybe that's why they don't high level maybe that's why they don't know they know policy very well you assume a lot of giant companies you you assume a lot of giant companies you figure they've they've got to their act figure they've they've got to their act figure they've they've got to their act together they've got all the money in together they've got all the money in together they've got all the money in the world no the world no the world no um and so yeah it is surprising when you um and so yeah it is surprising when you um and so yeah it is surprising when you see that for sure no doubt about it no see that for sure no doubt about it no see that for sure no doubt about it no and I also feel that it's like I think and I also feel that it's like I think and I also feel that it's like I think it's our job and our responsibility also it's our job and our responsibility also it's our job and our responsibility also to be a bit of kind of compliant not to be a bit of kind of compliant not to be a bit of kind of compliant not only on the kind of the business and only on the kind of the business and only on the kind of the business and solution but also in the process so I solution but also in the process so I solution but also in the process so I think I think it's also typical of like think I think it's also typical of like think I think it's also typical of like it's such a kind of like it's such a kind of like it's such a kind of like trusted kind of almost trusted industry trusted kind of almost trusted industry trusted kind of almost trusted industry that that that um you also have to be complying on how um you also have to be complying on how um you also have to be complying on how an oil and gas company does procurement an oil and gas company does procurement an oil and gas company does procurement yeah it is kind of it's gone completely yeah it is kind of it's gone completely yeah it is kind of it's gone completely I mean it's something that we I mean it's something that we I mean it's something that we underestimated uh but it it requires underestimated uh but it it requires underestimated uh but it it requires kind of kind of kind of adoption uh I mean it's not a massive adoption uh I mean it's not a massive adoption uh I mean it's not a massive process change but it it you have to
-
process change but it it you have to process change but it it you have to understand how things are going you have understand how things are going you have understand how things are going you have to design and plan for it to design and plan for it to design and plan for it um but yeah we could we have we have um but yeah we could we have we have um but yeah we could we have we have many kind of petrochemical industry uh many kind of petrochemical industry uh many kind of petrochemical industry uh customers out there and then and it's customers out there and then and it's customers out there and then and it's it's it's it's step by step but I mean it's it's it's step by step but I mean it's it's it's step by step but I mean it's just like it's just like it's just like just getting started just getting started just getting started yeah so they have so many regulatory yeah so they have so many regulatory yeah so they have so many regulatory things that they have to follow there's things that they have to follow there's things that they have to follow there's so many regulations by the government so many regulations by the government so many regulations by the government and today and today most of that is done and today and today most of that is done and today and today most of that is done by people walking around taking readings by people walking around taking readings by people walking around taking readings um and you know I've seen this entire um and you know I've seen this entire um and you know I've seen this entire Industries around Industries around Industries around oil and gas and petrochemical oil and gas and petrochemical oil and gas and petrochemical regulations and monitoring refineries or regulations and monitoring refineries or regulations and monitoring refineries or process Manufacturing Systems process Manufacturing Systems process Manufacturing Systems um for all kinds of missions to you know um for all kinds of missions to you know um for all kinds of missions to you know they got to fill out some paperwork and they got to fill out some paperwork and they got to fill out some paperwork and send to the government every month you send to the government every month you send to the government every month you know and iot is perfect for that stuff know and iot is perfect for that stuff know and iot is perfect for that stuff yeah for sure yeah yeah for sure yeah yeah for sure yeah yeah and so dude sorry and so dude sorry go ahead go ahead go ahead no I just wanted to link this to the no I just wanted to link this to the no I just wanted to link this to the satellite discussion and one of the satellite discussion and one of the satellite discussion and one of the things that I think yeah so about things that I think yeah so about things that I think yeah so about procurement and distribution and being procurement and distribution and being procurement and distribution and being compliant in process not only around compliant in process not only around compliant in process not only around business but being a business case business but being a business case business but being a business case positive is that I feel that positive is that I feel that positive is that I feel that um there's a lot of industries that love um there's a lot of industries that love um there's a lot of industries that love Cash and Carry products and I think Cash and Carry products and I think Cash and Carry products and I think that's that a satellite connected sensor that's that a satellite connected sensor that's that a satellite connected sensor is a perfect Cash and Carry compliant
-
is a perfect Cash and Carry compliant is a perfect Cash and Carry compliant product because you can bake into you product because you can bake into you product because you can bake into you can bake in the connectivity basically can bake in the connectivity basically can bake in the connectivity basically for 10 years so for 10 years so for 10 years so um um um like like also like like unlocking these like like also like like unlocking these like like also like like unlocking these industries is it's not always only the industries is it's not always only the industries is it's not always only the business case it's also being compliant business case it's also being compliant business case it's also being compliant and and satellite comes in even like and and satellite comes in even like and and satellite comes in even like with this kind of creativity if you even with this kind of creativity if you even with this kind of creativity if you even just to be able to install an atex just to be able to install an atex just to be able to install an atex sensor with the satellite uplink and sensor with the satellite uplink and sensor with the satellite uplink and works on a battery works on a battery works on a battery I literally it's just one site visit and I literally it's just one site visit and I literally it's just one site visit and one installation which is expensive but one installation which is expensive but one installation which is expensive but yeah if it lasts for 10 years yeah yeah yeah if it lasts for 10 years yeah yeah yeah if it lasts for 10 years yeah yeah absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely dude I saw your email about Santa Clara dude I saw your email about Santa Clara dude I saw your email about Santa Clara I'm sorry I haven't replied to you I'm sorry I haven't replied to you I'm sorry I haven't replied to you I don't know if I can make I've got a I don't know if I can make I've got a I don't know if I can make I've got a deal in Vegas which will be more around deal in Vegas which will be more around deal in Vegas which will be more around building property Tech stuff oh nice building property Tech stuff oh nice building property Tech stuff oh nice next week then I'm gonna go to uh with next week then I'm gonna go to uh with next week then I'm gonna go to uh with you may you guys know uh Ryan Prosser is you may you guys know uh Ryan Prosser is you may you guys know uh Ryan Prosser is the CEO at very he does a podcast an iot the CEO at very he does a podcast an iot the CEO at very he does a podcast an iot podcast podcast podcast um anyway he and I are going to this um anyway he and I are going to this um anyway he and I are going to this event in Vegas and so you know all the event in Vegas and so you know all the event in Vegas and so you know all the things you can imagine around building things you can imagine around building things you can imagine around building Energy Management all that kind of stuff Energy Management all that kind of stuff Energy Management all that kind of stuff HVAC lighting blah blah blah HVAC lighting blah blah blah HVAC lighting blah blah blah um so that's at Mandalay Bay next week um so that's at Mandalay Bay next week um so that's at Mandalay Bay next week and then and then the week after that and then and then the week after that and then and then the week after that the U.S governments flying me to Pearl the U.S governments flying me to Pearl the U.S governments flying me to Pearl Harbor to go brief Harbor to go brief Harbor to go brief uh the commander or Pacific Fleet and a

you know Scrappy Innovation that's you know Scrappy Innovation that's happening you know on both sides you happening you know on both sides you happening you know on both sides you know I think early on know I think early on know I think early on um Russia was using um Jammers to jam um Russia was using um Jammers to jam um Russia was using um Jammers to jam the and disable drones do you you know the and disable drones do you you know the and disable drones do you you know the Ukrainian drones right and which the Ukrainian drones right and which the Ukrainian drones right and which were pretty successful early on in the were pretty successful early on in the were pretty successful early on in the conflict and so they had to they had to conflict and so they had to they had to conflict and so they had to they had to figure out ways to adapt uh the um the figure out ways to adapt uh the um the figure out ways to adapt uh the um the drones to I I don't know what the drones to I I don't know what the drones to I I don't know what the solution was but it's frequency hopping solution was but it's frequency hopping solution was but it's frequency hopping it's different frequencies if you're it's different frequencies if you're it's different frequencies if you're jamming this frequency you need to go to jamming this frequency you need to go to jamming this frequency you need to go to a different one a different one a different one this is just right out of Star Trek yeah this is just right out of Star Trek yeah this is just right out of Star Trek yeah and all of a sudden they need to and all of a sudden they need to and all of a sudden they need to penetrate the deflector Shields and the penetrate the deflector Shields and the penetrate the deflector Shields and the they had to go to it they had remember they had to go to it they had remember they had to go to it they had remember they had to go through some weird they had to go through some weird they had to go through some weird frequency to get through a deflector frequency to get through a deflector frequency to get through a deflector Shield yeah it's all coming together Shield yeah it's all coming together Shield yeah it's all coming together it's all starts with sci-fi it's all starts with sci-fi it's all starts with sci-fi this is like Star Wars too right you this is like Star Wars too right you this is like Star Wars too right you know know know you have to wait for tractor beams and you have to wait for tractor beams and you have to wait for tractor beams and Hollow decks you know absolutely have Hollow decks you know absolutely have Hollow decks you know absolutely have you been watching Picard the season you been watching Picard the season you been watching Picard the season three of Picard no I haven't watched it three of Picard no I haven't watched it three of Picard no I haven't watched it it's good it's good it's good it's good it's good it's good yeah Star Trek guy yeah Star Trek guy yeah Star Trek guy sure yeah vinky are you where where is sure yeah vinky are you where where is sure yeah vinky are you where where is it no I'm not I'm not I think I'm sorry it no I'm not I'm not I think I'm sorry it no I'm not I'm not I think I'm sorry I think well I think it's through I think well I think it's through I think well I think it's through Paramount yeah Paramount yeah Paramount yeah I I see it through my Amazon Prime yeah

-
um so in the connectivity all um so in the connectivity all um I had some discussion with 5G um I had some discussion with 5G um I had some discussion with 5G providers and you just just understand providers and you just just understand providers and you just just understand when talking to the account managers and when talking to the account managers and when talking to the account managers and people on the front end is that they all people on the front end is that they all people on the front end is that they all have their kind of they all bought their have their kind of they all bought their have their kind of they all bought their trophy customers so they all have trophy customers so they all have trophy customers so they all have airport and all of them all airport and all of them all airport and all of them all uh and then if you read it talk about uh and then if you read it talk about uh and then if you read it talk about what are the use cases what are the use cases what are the use cases um and what I'm uh but I also noticing um and what I'm uh but I also noticing um and what I'm uh but I also noticing and it was typically like specifically and it was typically like specifically and it was typically like specifically when I talked at the Nokia stand yeah when I talked at the Nokia stand yeah when I talked at the Nokia stand yeah they they said like we were first I they they said like we were first I they they said like we were first I started that we're going to open up and started that we're going to open up and started that we're going to open up and be more an ecosystem player and build an be more an ecosystem player and build an be more an ecosystem player and build an ecosystem and then when the when a ecosystem and then when the when a ecosystem and then when the when a subject of Wi-Fi arrived they said oh subject of Wi-Fi arrived they said oh subject of Wi-Fi arrived they said oh Wi-Fi is bad and 5G is good that's not Wi-Fi is bad and 5G is good that's not Wi-Fi is bad and 5G is good that's not the idea of an ecosystem a system is a the idea of an ecosystem a system is a the idea of an ecosystem a system is a positive sum game so you were trained positive sum game so you were trained positive sum game so you were trained for 30 years on a zero-sum game because for 30 years on a zero-sum game because for 30 years on a zero-sum game because that's what the Mobile World Congress that's what the Mobile World Congress that's what the Mobile World Congress gsma mindset is is that if you win I gsma mindset is is that if you win I gsma mindset is is that if you win I lose so and all of a sudden they were lose so and all of a sudden they were lose so and all of a sudden they were like oh this is bad and I'm talking like oh this is bad and I'm talking like oh this is bad and I'm talking about Laura I said I said well Wi-Fi is about Laura I said I said well Wi-Fi is about Laura I said I said well Wi-Fi is good because because actually as a good because because actually as a good because because actually as a backhaul in many cases because uh Laura backhaul in many cases because uh Laura backhaul in many cases because uh Laura is even reliability works so the weakest is even reliability works so the weakest is even reliability works so the weakest link will likely not be Wi-Fi it's like link will likely not be Wi-Fi it's like link will likely not be Wi-Fi it's like oh how can you ever sell that I said but oh how can you ever sell that I said but oh how can you ever sell that I said but so so I was like this is you don't you so so I was like this is you don't you so so I was like this is you don't you don't need to be convinced of of an don't need to be convinced of of an don't need to be convinced of of an argument you may need to change a argument you may need to change a argument you may need to change a paradigm because you're just coming from paradigm because you're just coming from paradigm because you're just coming from another world yeah you're entering this another world yeah you're entering this another world yeah you're entering this ecosystem with this gsma mindset you're
-
ecosystem with this gsma mindset you're ecosystem with this gsma mindset you're never gonna succeed how good your never gonna succeed how good your never gonna succeed how good your product is but that's exactly why I product is but that's exactly why I product is but that's exactly why I mentioned the whole heterogeneous mentioned the whole heterogeneous mentioned the whole heterogeneous protocol technology thing right is protocol technology thing right is protocol technology thing right is especially amongst sis and people who especially amongst sis and people who especially amongst sis and people who are on the hook of for making things are on the hook of for making things are on the hook of for making things delivering things right that rise above delivering things right that rise above delivering things right that rise above all the Techno religion they they see a all the Techno religion they they see a all the Techno religion they they see a very few I'm not saying that's a ton of very few I'm not saying that's a ton of very few I'm not saying that's a ton of them a few of them are starting to say them a few of them are starting to say them a few of them are starting to say hey look there's possibilities here hey look there's possibilities here hey look there's possibilities here there's possibilities here let's just there's possibilities here let's just there's possibilities here let's just create a Gateway and allow us to create create a Gateway and allow us to create create a Gateway and allow us to create a data path through these different a data path through these different a data path through these different protocols to accomplish protocols to accomplish protocols to accomplish um what we we want to accomplish or um what we we want to accomplish or um what we we want to accomplish or enable a new kind of solution that we enable a new kind of solution that we enable a new kind of solution that we can take to our customers so I think can take to our customers so I think can take to our customers so I think that that's that agenda that's that's uh that that's that agenda that's that's uh that that's that agenda that's that's uh you know uh enabling things to rise you know uh enabling things to rise you know uh enabling things to rise above the the various uh Wireless above the the various uh Wireless above the the various uh Wireless technology nominations you know I and technology nominations you know I and technology nominations you know I and yeah and I like going back to what I was yeah and I like going back to what I was yeah and I like going back to what I was saying before I think that's a good saying before I think that's a good saying before I think that's a good thing but it's nascent you know we thing but it's nascent you know we thing but it's nascent you know we subliminally know it subliminally know it subliminally know it um in the bubbles it's just that we um in the bubbles it's just that we um in the bubbles it's just that we won't recognize it for exactly the won't recognize it for exactly the won't recognize it for exactly the reasons why you just mentioned right reasons why you just mentioned right reasons why you just mentioned right it's and you know what to our religion it's and you know what to our religion it's and you know what to our religion yeah and well you know what the ironic yeah and well you know what the ironic yeah and well you know what the ironic thing is is that they they actually said thing is is that they they actually said thing is is that they they actually said with Nokia the reason I changed their with Nokia the reason I changed their with Nokia the reason I changed their logo logo logo uh is they they've made the letters open
-
uh is they they've made the letters open uh is they they've made the letters open so the brand value is openness right but so the brand value is openness right but so the brand value is openness right but that doesn't mean that you have to that doesn't mean that you have to that doesn't mean that you have to re-educate all your people actually re-educate all your people actually re-educate all your people actually when you're at a stand not not actually when you're at a stand not not actually when you're at a stand not not actually start to Batman Wi-Fi start to Batman Wi-Fi start to Batman Wi-Fi but actually to say it all it doesn't but actually to say it all it doesn't but actually to say it all it doesn't really matter because uh the the correct really matter because uh the the correct really matter because uh the the correct answer should have been educated in is answer should have been educated in is answer should have been educated in is that you know what that you know what that you know what my Mac runs kubernetes and you can my Mac runs kubernetes and you can my Mac runs kubernetes and you can actually like put a Wi-Fi management actually like put a Wi-Fi management actually like put a Wi-Fi management platform in our Mac yeah because platform in our Mac yeah because platform in our Mac yeah because actually we have the most compute in our actually we have the most compute in our actually we have the most compute in our core and it's a very efficient kind of core and it's a very efficient kind of core and it's a very efficient kind of I.T infrastructure so I.T infrastructure so I.T infrastructure so and and I I I'm really curious if kind and and I I I'm really curious if kind and and I I I'm really curious if kind of companies like Nokia and Erickson can of companies like Nokia and Erickson can of companies like Nokia and Erickson can pivot that Paradigm in their Workforce pivot that Paradigm in their Workforce pivot that Paradigm in their Workforce to be able to understand that they're to be able to understand that they're to be able to understand that they're basically becoming I.T suppliers and not basically becoming I.T suppliers and not basically becoming I.T suppliers and not kind of old boys club Telco supplier so kind of old boys club Telco supplier so kind of old boys club Telco supplier so right right right I'm really curious if they can make that I'm really curious if they can make that I'm really curious if they can make that that move and of course Erickson bought that move and of course Erickson bought that move and of course Erickson bought the Cradle points so they should have the Cradle points so they should have the Cradle points so they should have some of that yeah but they become an I.T some of that yeah but they become an I.T some of that yeah but they become an I.T companies they were coming out there companies they were coming out there companies they were coming out there but if you talk to somebody kind of like but if you talk to somebody kind of like but if you talk to somebody kind of like the the 90 of the workforce probably the the 90 of the workforce probably the the 90 of the workforce probably they don't understand their I.T they don't understand their I.T they don't understand their I.T companies yet well I I I'm really companies yet well I I I'm really companies yet well I I I'm really curious curious curious I guess it would be as easy as making a I guess it would be as easy as making a I guess it would be as easy as making a uh a Patriots fan become a uh Dallas uh a Patriots fan become a uh Dallas uh a Patriots fan become a uh Dallas Cowboys fan

Cowboys fan Cowboys fan you know I mean yeah seriously you know I mean yeah seriously you know I mean yeah seriously um now that I think about it that's um now that I think about it that's um now that I think about it that's really what it boils down to is people really what it boils down to is people really what it boils down to is people it's just this sort of techno tribalism really right everywhere yeah you know really right everywhere yeah you know because thank you librarian I always because thank you librarian I always because thank you librarian I always felt like a contrarian but I'm always felt like a contrarian but I'm always felt like a contrarian but I'm always I'm always on the side of familiarity I'm always on the side of familiarity I'm always on the side of familiarity and things that everyone already knows and things that everyone already knows and things that everyone already knows and comfortable with and comfortable with and comfortable with oftentimes we'll win and so I know this oftentimes we'll win and so I know this oftentimes we'll win and so I know this is this is old news but for the last two is this is old news but for the last two is this is old news but for the last two decades every company on the planet has decades every company on the planet has decades every company on the planet has been putting Wi-Fi access points all been putting Wi-Fi access points all been putting Wi-Fi access points all over their buildings and that's what over their buildings and that's what over their buildings and that's what people use indoors they use it at the people use indoors they use it at the people use indoors they use it at the office they use it at the coffee shop office they use it at the coffee shop office they use it at the coffee shop they use it everywhere they use it everywhere they use it everywhere yeah and it's crazy backwards compatible yeah and it's crazy backwards compatible yeah and it's crazy backwards compatible that's that's just yes one thing it is that's that's just yes one thing it is that's that's just yes one thing it is and probably they they have to fight for and probably they they have to fight for and probably they they have to fight for this heart and they had to yeah this heart and they had to yeah this heart and they had to yeah but their backwards compatibility of but their backwards compatibility of but their backwards compatibility of Wi-Fi is insane it's insane it's insane Wi-Fi is insane it's insane it's insane Wi-Fi is insane it's insane it's insane and so the idea this whole push to rip and so the idea this whole push to rip and so the idea this whole push to rip out Wi-Fi and put in private 5G out Wi-Fi and put in private 5G out Wi-Fi and put in private 5G that's such a that's like climbing Mount that's such a that's like climbing Mount that's such a that's like climbing Mount Everest you it's so hard it's just you Everest you it's so hard it's just you Everest you it's so hard it's just you do it you'll probably pay the customer do it you'll probably pay the customer do it you'll probably pay the customer to do it just so you can have a press to do it just so you can have a press to do it just so you can have a press release to say somebody did it finally release to say somebody did it finally release to say somebody did it finally well you know what's a press release I well you know what's a press release I well you know what's a press release I don't recall but I uh the name or the don't recall but I uh the name or the don't recall but I uh the name or the company but there recently was a press company but there recently was a press company but there recently was a press release where where a vendor was touting
-
release where where a vendor was touting release where where a vendor was touting that is that uh their customer ripped that is that uh their customer ripped that is that uh their customer ripped out Wi-Fi and just put in out Wi-Fi and just put in out Wi-Fi and just put in um 5G private I'm sorry yeah I said I was I'll think I'm sorry yeah I said I was I'll think about the outcome remember remember it's about the outcome remember remember it's about the outcome remember remember it's like Steve Jobs says start with a like Steve Jobs says start with a like Steve Jobs says start with a customer experience and then work back customer experience and then work back customer experience and then work back towards the technology what is the towards the technology what is the towards the technology what is the outcome the customer wants they want but outcome the customer wants they want but outcome the customer wants they want but when they're indoors they want data and when they're indoors they want data and when they're indoors they want data and they might want to make calls yeah and they might want to make calls yeah and they might want to make calls yeah and so that's the outcome you're looking for so that's the outcome you're looking for so that's the outcome you're looking for what what are ways to achieve that well what what are ways to achieve that well what what are ways to achieve that well they're already getting way faster data they're already getting way faster data they're already getting way faster data on Wi-Fi than they can ever get with on Wi-Fi than they can ever get with on Wi-Fi than they can ever get with cellular way faster like Wi-Fi 60 is cellular way faster like Wi-Fi 60 is cellular way faster like Wi-Fi 60 is tremendously faster Wi-Fi 7 is going to tremendously faster Wi-Fi 7 is going to tremendously faster Wi-Fi 7 is going to be 30 gigabit cellular will never even be 30 gigabit cellular will never even be 30 gigabit cellular will never even come close to catching that but what's come close to catching that but what's come close to catching that but what's the other part I want to make a phone the other part I want to make a phone the other part I want to make a phone call when I'm deep inside the building call when I'm deep inside the building call when I'm deep inside the building and my son you know I only have I'm and my son you know I only have I'm and my son you know I only have I'm starting you know we sell those starting you know we sell those starting you know we sell those struggles deep inside the building so struggles deep inside the building so struggles deep inside the building so what have we seen people use over the what have we seen people use over the what have we seen people use over the years we see them do those Daz antennas years we see them do those Daz antennas years we see them do those Daz antennas yeah you know that cost like three yeah you know that cost like three yeah you know that cost like three million dollars to beam cellular inside million dollars to beam cellular inside million dollars to beam cellular inside the building we've seen that and and the building we've seen that and and the building we've seen that and and it's expensive but you know what else it's expensive but you know what else it's expensive but you know what else you can do that just works you can do that just works you can do that just works Wi-Fi calling yeah there's ways there's Wi-Fi calling yeah there's ways there's Wi-Fi calling yeah there's ways there's ways with today's modern uh Wi-Fi we ways with today's modern uh Wi-Fi we ways with today's modern uh Wi-Fi we every operator has that in the every operator has that in the every operator has that in the Netherlands as yeah

Netherlands as yeah Netherlands as yeah problem solved problem not getting problem solved problem not getting problem solved problem not getting solved but I'm curious what's what's solved but I'm curious what's what's solved but I'm curious what's what's going to happen with like private 5G going to happen with like private 5G going to happen with like private 5G because I just you see the kind of the because I just you see the kind of the because I just you see the kind of the Nokia and inside on Hacker News Today is Nokia and inside on Hacker News Today is Nokia and inside on Hacker News Today is like how to build your uh LTE uh how to like how to build your uh LTE uh how to like how to build your uh LTE uh how to do your own LTE and I think this yeah do your own LTE and I think this yeah do your own LTE and I think this yeah see that and yeah it only was like two see that and yeah it only was like two see that and yeah it only was like two thousand dollars uh here in Europe it's thousand dollars uh here in Europe it's thousand dollars uh here in Europe it's very Troublesome because we didn't don't very Troublesome because we didn't don't very Troublesome because we didn't don't have cbrs have cbrs have cbrs um so then you just could in the US um so then you just could in the US um so then you just could in the US you're connected to the to the SAS like you're connected to the to the SAS like you're connected to the to the SAS like the central registry and also kind of the central registry and also kind of the central registry and also kind of it's an API that kind of the military it's an API that kind of the military it's an API that kind of the military wants you to shut down your network they wants you to shut down your network they wants you to shut down your network they can literally press a button and then can literally press a button and then can literally press a button and then you you it will kind of kind of the you you it will kind of kind of the you you it will kind of kind of the system will turn off the network system will turn off the network system will turn off the network and um it works on your iPhone and and I and um it works on your iPhone and and I and um it works on your iPhone and and I think it even works with some e-sims um think it even works with some e-sims um think it even works with some e-sims um these tutorials with uh specific Sim but these tutorials with uh specific Sim but these tutorials with uh specific Sim but I think if there's going to be some I think if there's going to be some I think if there's going to be some innovation in niches you need you need innovation in niches you need you need innovation in niches you need you need these kind of platforms these kind of platforms these kind of platforms oh yeah you start start playing around oh yeah you start start playing around oh yeah you start start playing around with it but then again it's not what you with it but then again it's not what you with it but then again it's not what you said Rob it's not about the work from said Rob it's not about the work from said Rob it's not about the work from the outcome backwards it's it's a the outcome backwards it's it's a the outcome backwards it's it's a technology push but at least it's like a technology push but at least it's like a technology push but at least it's like a developer push so you you have a massive developer push so you you have a massive developer push so you you have a massive spread yeah well you know what you you spread yeah well you know what you you spread yeah well you know what you you touched on something that's really touched on something that's really touched on something that's really um um um important uh that the Spectrum important uh that the Spectrum important uh that the Spectrum availability availability availability um and so I I did talk to a few vendors um and so I I did talk to a few vendors um and so I I did talk to a few vendors uh at mwc and I brought that up and they
-
uh at mwc and I brought that up and they uh at mwc and I brought that up and they go yeah go yeah go yeah um so the market is not going to be as um so the market is not going to be as um so the market is not going to be as big as everyone thinks because they you big as everyone thinks because they you big as everyone thinks because they you know in the US we have cbrs which is know in the US we have cbrs which is know in the US we have cbrs which is shared Spectrum it's not unlicensed shared Spectrum it's not unlicensed shared Spectrum it's not unlicensed um and I I talked to the guys at Verizon um and I I talked to the guys at Verizon um and I I talked to the guys at Verizon at the NAB show they're doing some at the NAB show they're doing some at the NAB show they're doing some interesting stuff with uh private uh LTE interesting stuff with uh private uh LTE interesting stuff with uh private uh LTE okay cellular okay but even uh the uh okay cellular okay but even uh the uh okay cellular okay but even uh the uh you know for the application that they you know for the application that they you know for the application that they were looking at which is basically coach were looking at which is basically coach were looking at which is basically coach to coach communication to be able to to coach communication to be able to to coach communication to be able to have a dedicated Network to enable like have a dedicated Network to enable like have a dedicated Network to enable like Communications on the field between like Communications on the field between like Communications on the field between like the coaches and the players and stuff the coaches and the players and stuff the coaches and the players and stuff like that uh that required the NFL to do like that uh that required the NFL to do like that uh that required the NFL to do a lot of negotiation in other words a lot of negotiation in other words a lot of negotiation in other words hiring a bunch of lawyers and to to work hiring a bunch of lawyers and to to work hiring a bunch of lawyers and to to work with Regulators to to use a cbrs with Regulators to to use a cbrs with Regulators to to use a cbrs spectrum uh for this particular the the spectrum uh for this particular the the spectrum uh for this particular the the you know for this particular application you know for this particular application you know for this particular application and and and um and so when you think about it that um and so when you think about it that um and so when you think about it that whole process of actually negotiating uh whole process of actually negotiating uh whole process of actually negotiating uh access to and use of spectrum access to and use of spectrum access to and use of spectrum is it is a large it's a large cost is it is a large it's a large cost is it is a large it's a large cost actually that goes into actually that goes into actually that goes into um you know in deploying these private um you know in deploying these private um you know in deploying these private networks and this this will be networks and this this will be networks and this this will be problematic because as you look at more problematic because as you look at more problematic because as you look at more of these differentiated type uh

of these differentiated type uh of these differentiated type uh connectivity that connectivity that connectivity that um you know cellular is more let's say um you know cellular is more let's say um you know cellular is more let's say arguably uh more arguably uh more arguably uh more um geared toward um geared toward um geared toward the these are more critical applications the these are more critical applications the these are more critical applications that you're talking about and that means that you're talking about and that means that you're talking about and that means that these applications are not going to that these applications are not going to that these applications are not going to be as you know Plug and Play you know be as you know Plug and Play you know be as you know Plug and Play you know because we heard it all a lot of talk because we heard it all a lot of talk because we heard it all a lot of talk about the easy button oh it's going to about the easy button oh it's going to about the easy button oh it's going to be as easy as Wi-Fi no this is be as easy as Wi-Fi no this is be as easy as Wi-Fi no this is where are you getting this stuff and you where are you getting this stuff and you where are you getting this stuff and you know and so as I'm talking I'm listening know and so as I'm talking I'm listening know and so as I'm talking I'm listening to these vendor product guys and you to these vendor product guys and you to these vendor product guys and you know we're talking about senior level know we're talking about senior level know we're talking about senior level people I'm looking at them going man people I'm looking at them going man people I'm looking at them going man it's like do you even it's like what the it's like do you even it's like what the it's like do you even it's like what the hell are you talking about you know it's hell are you talking about you know it's hell are you talking about you know it's so yeah this stuff is gonna be tough as so yeah this stuff is gonna be tough as so yeah this stuff is gonna be tough as crap you know and you better have a crap you know and you better have a crap you know and you better have a really valuable application to justify really valuable application to justify really valuable application to justify all of this stuff and so you know I all of this stuff and so you know I all of this stuff and so you know I don't know there's going to be a lot of don't know there's going to be a lot of don't know there's going to be a lot of people who uh well maybe two or three people who uh well maybe two or three people who uh well maybe two or three people who listen to this show and go people who listen to this show and go people who listen to this show and go man Leonard you're an for man Leonard you're an for man Leonard you're an for bringing this up but it's the truth bringing this up but it's the truth bringing this up but it's the truth is the reality you're gonna have to deal is the reality you're gonna have to deal is the reality you're gonna have to deal with uh you either deal with it now or with uh you either deal with it now or with uh you either deal with it now or you're gonna deal with it six months you're gonna deal with it six months you're gonna deal with it six months later when you know all the stuff that later when you know all the stuff that later when you know all the stuff that you claim in your press release you claim in your press release you claim in your press release evaporates and this is the US evaporates and this is the US evaporates and this is the US so the US actually it's really open so the US actually it's really open so the US actually it's really open before kind of inclusive whereas and before kind of inclusive whereas and before kind of inclusive whereas and then in Canada they have it in Germany then in Canada they have it in Germany then in Canada they have it in Germany right yeah yeah but it's not everywhere
-
right yeah yeah but it's not everywhere right yeah yeah but it's not everywhere like there's it's very complicated and like there's it's very complicated and like there's it's very complicated and um so I'm really curious how you would um so I'm really curious how you would um so I'm really curious how you would then you will need to translate it in then you will need to translate it in then you will need to translate it in your SLA as a solution provider as well your SLA as a solution provider as well your SLA as a solution provider as well so if you if the cbrs says we can turn so if you if the cbrs says we can turn so if you if the cbrs says we can turn it off every any time it off every any time it off every any time then I need to also put it in my SLA and then I need to also put it in my SLA and then I need to also put it in my SLA and sell the micros well yeah basically sell the micros well yeah basically sell the micros well yeah basically whatever yeah the government feels like whatever yeah the government feels like whatever yeah the government feels like it they can shut it off okay great okay it they can shut it off okay great okay it they can shut it off okay great okay so I'm not going to commit to kind of so I'm not going to commit to kind of so I'm not going to commit to kind of integrating some kind of Niche solution integrating some kind of Niche solution integrating some kind of Niche solution that meets that low latency that's what that meets that low latency that's what that meets that low latency that's what the the the um microphones um microphones um microphones exactly what you're talking about they exactly what you're talking about they exactly what you're talking about they just said okay you can no longer use just said okay you can no longer use just said okay you can no longer use this uh frequency anymore we're going to this uh frequency anymore we're going to this uh frequency anymore we're going to give it to T-Mobile in the US they did give it to T-Mobile in the US they did give it to T-Mobile in the US they did that in the US jacked up everything all that in the US jacked up everything all that in the US jacked up everything all right crazy yeah right crazy yeah right crazy yeah yeah yeah yeah but you don't see this as an opportunity but you don't see this as an opportunity but you don't see this as an opportunity for companies like McDonald's or for companies like McDonald's or for companies like McDonald's or Starbucks to create fidelitation with Starbucks to create fidelitation with Starbucks to create fidelitation with their customers like giving these their customers like giving these their customers like giving these virtual Sim well you can purchase this virtual Sim well you can purchase this virtual Sim well you can purchase this virtual Sim and you get 5G every time virtual Sim and you get 5G every time virtual Sim and you get 5G every time that you get into my shop and then you that you get into my shop and then you that you get into my shop and then you get I don't know discounts or whatever get I don't know discounts or whatever get I don't know discounts or whatever that's actually kind of a cool idea that's actually kind of a cool idea that's actually kind of a cool idea I mean you kind of threw it out there I mean you kind of threw it out there I mean you kind of threw it out there but I mean if there's a you know you can but I mean if there's a you know you can but I mean if there's a you know you can get the cost of uh you know e-sim get the cost of uh you know e-sim get the cost of uh you know e-sim management system down management system down management system down yeah yeah yeah that could be something that works right that could be something that works right that could be something that works right um I mean um I mean um I mean doesn't think a lot of that through I doesn't think a lot of that through I doesn't think a lot of that through I mean I'm sure there's a lot of complex I mean I'm sure there's a lot of complex I mean I'm sure there's a lot of complex I mean for me this at the moment this is

mean for me this at the moment this is mean for me this at the moment this is the only use case I I discovered on the the only use case I I discovered on the the only use case I I discovered on the Mobile World Congress that makes sense Mobile World Congress that makes sense Mobile World Congress that makes sense on these uh you know give connectivity on these uh you know give connectivity on these uh you know give connectivity to mobile phones I still don't see it to mobile phones I still don't see it to mobile phones I still don't see it for iot devices for iot devices for iot devices that can yeah better added value than that can yeah better added value than that can yeah better added value than L'Oreal lp1 Technologies L'Oreal lp1 Technologies L'Oreal lp1 Technologies yeah yeah yeah yeah but putting up yeah putting up a 3 yeah but putting up yeah putting up a 3 yeah but putting up yeah putting up a 3 000 private 5G base station you know it's like what what Rob was you know it's like what what Rob was saying earlier saying earlier saying earlier um I mean um I mean um I mean Wi-Fi is already familiar what familiar Wi-Fi is already familiar what familiar Wi-Fi is already familiar what familiar means market share mind share the means market share mind share the means market share mind share the devices Rob said that uh 100 episodes ago Rob said that uh 100 episodes ago no no no [Laughter] [Laughter] [Laughter] yeah but you know what where I mean yes yeah but you know what where I mean yes yeah but you know what where I mean yes NWA thing I think is really cool NWA thing I think is really cool NWA thing I think is really cool um it's it's a good use of um it's it's a good use of um it's it's a good use of um of 5G Spectrum especially for those um of 5G Spectrum especially for those um of 5G Spectrum especially for those that bought a ton of millimeter wave and that bought a ton of millimeter wave and that bought a ton of millimeter wave and can't find a way of using it uh I think can't find a way of using it uh I think can't find a way of using it uh I think about the Verizon obviously they just about the Verizon obviously they just about the Verizon obviously they just found their quarterly report just came found their quarterly report just came found their quarterly report just came out and it's bad out and it's bad out and it's bad but the only bright spot was fixed but the only bright spot was fixed but the only bright spot was fixed wireless access I had growth they had
-
wireless access I had growth they had wireless access I had growth they had growth and fixed wireless access with 5G growth and fixed wireless access with 5G growth and fixed wireless access with 5G even though they lost lots of even though they lost lots of even though they lost lots of subscribers and had a horrible quarter subscribers and had a horrible quarter subscribers and had a horrible quarter at T had a horrible quarter as well at T had a horrible quarter as well at T had a horrible quarter as well really yeah yeah okay some people yeah really yeah yeah okay some people yeah really yeah yeah okay some people yeah and it was okay one Telco didn't have a and it was okay one Telco didn't have a and it was okay one Telco didn't have a horrible quarter yeah good point good horrible quarter yeah good point good horrible quarter yeah good point good point that's a horrible means but um point that's a horrible means but um point that's a horrible means but um yeah I mean T-Mobile is definitely yeah I mean T-Mobile is definitely yeah I mean T-Mobile is definitely killing it and you know killing it and you know killing it and you know but you know that's an example of I mean but you know that's an example of I mean but you know that's an example of I mean if you look at the CP what do you have if you look at the CP what do you have if you look at the CP what do you have you have basically the the you have basically the the you have basically the the um um um I mean effectively into the home of 5G I mean effectively into the home of 5G I mean effectively into the home of 5G back haul coming in and then all the back haul coming in and then all the back haul coming in and then all the devices connected to Wi-Fi for the most devices connected to Wi-Fi for the most devices connected to Wi-Fi for the most part right and and you know part right and and you know part right and and you know um rob you you you're spot on with the um rob you you you're spot on with the um rob you you you're spot on with the Wi-Fi the the thing about Wi-Fi is the Wi-Fi the the thing about Wi-Fi is the Wi-Fi the the thing about Wi-Fi is the the Uplink performances is killer so if the Uplink performances is killer so if the Uplink performances is killer so if it it can be symmetrical right it it can be symmetrical right it it can be symmetrical right really irritate really irritate really irritate just to really irritate all you Wireless just to really irritate all you Wireless just to really irritate all you Wireless people out there do you know what people out there do you know what people out there do you know what Wireless is made out of Wireless is made out of Wireless is made out of wires wires wires and so so when you're inside a building of any so when you're inside a building of any kind what's hiding behind that really kind what's hiding behind that really kind what's hiding behind that really fast Wi-Fi fast Wi-Fi fast Wi-Fi even faster ethernet yeah even faster ethernet yeah even faster ethernet yeah 10 gigabit Ethernet yeah you just with 10 gigabit Ethernet yeah you just with 10 gigabit Ethernet yeah you just with Cat6 cables going through the building

Cat6 cables going through the building Cat6 cables going through the building and fiber optics and fiber optics and fiber optics you just can't compete with that right you just can't compete with that right you just can't compete with that right you know what Rob just crapped all over you know what Rob just crapped all over you know what Rob just crapped all over iot iot iot no no no no no no listen listen Wireless hey all of us listen listen Wireless hey all of us listen listen Wireless hey all of us who've been in the iot space for a long who've been in the iot space for a long who've been in the iot space for a long time and we've been all these projects time and we've been all these projects time and we've been all these projects what did we've seen time and again why what did we've seen time and again why what did we've seen time and again why I'm not saying it's right yeah but most I'm not saying it's right yeah but most I'm not saying it's right yeah but most customers think of Wireless as a customers think of Wireless as a customers think of Wireless as a commodity commodity commodity they just think of Wireless connectivity they just think of Wireless connectivity they just think of Wireless connectivity as a commodity to choose from they never as a commodity to choose from they never as a commodity to choose from they never think of it like when you think oh this think of it like when you think oh this think of it like when you think oh this is the most critical decision you're is the most critical decision you're is the most critical decision you're going to make is what Wireless going to make is what Wireless going to make is what Wireless customers at least in my experience it's customers at least in my experience it's customers at least in my experience it's like the last thing they think about like the last thing they think about like the last thing they think about it really is it sucks and sometimes it it really is it sucks and sometimes it it really is it sucks and sometimes it bites them in the butt because they made bites them in the butt because they made bites them in the butt because they made the wrong choice but they're focused the wrong choice but they're focused the wrong choice but they're focused more on devices the software the outcome more on devices the software the outcome more on devices the software the outcome the reports the automation that's what the reports the automation that's what the reports the automation that's what they think about they think of Wireless they think about they think of Wireless they think about they think of Wireless just some invisible thing that's magic just some invisible thing that's magic just some invisible thing that's magic you know and so uh yeah it's it's and you know and so uh yeah it's it's and you know and so uh yeah it's it's and two people are just like oh and so I get two people are just like oh and so I get two people are just like oh and so I get really pragmatic about it in the same really pragmatic about it in the same really pragmatic about it in the same way I'm pragmatic about saying you're way I'm pragmatic about saying you're way I'm pragmatic about saying you're just going to keep using Wi-Fi in just going to keep using Wi-Fi in just going to keep using Wi-Fi in buildings buildings buildings iot I'm the same way I'm in a building iot I'm the same way I'm in a building iot I'm the same way I'm in a building it means I have electricity I'm in a it means I have electricity I'm in a it means I have electricity I'm in a building it means I have Wi-Fi or I have building it means I have Wi-Fi or I have building it means I have Wi-Fi or I have ethernet I'm gonna use it I'm gonna use ethernet I'm gonna use it I'm gonna use ethernet I'm gonna use it I'm gonna use the power that's there for my devices the power that's there for my devices the power that's there for my devices and I'm gonna piggyback on top of Wi-Fi and I'm gonna piggyback on top of Wi-Fi and I'm gonna piggyback on top of Wi-Fi or ethernet if it's there why wouldn't I

there you go you know freaking genius you know it's just off the hook yeah yeah um you know the good news like going um you know the good news like going um you know the good news like going back to what I said before the good the back to what I said before the good the back to what I said before the good the good news is good news is good news is there's a lot of possibilities the thing there's a lot of possibilities the thing there's a lot of possibilities the thing that limits us is that limits us is that limits us is are the way we think and what we believe are the way we think and what we believe are the way we think and what we believe you know what hey so while I'm talking you know what hey so while I'm talking you know what hey so while I'm talking about Wi-Fi and crazy things like about Wi-Fi and crazy things like about Wi-Fi and crazy things like ethernet cables ethernet cables ethernet cables you know it's a really hot thing I've you know it's a really hot thing I've you know it's a really hot thing I've learned recently in the whole building learned recently in the whole building learned recently in the whole building space doing iot and buildings is that space doing iot and buildings is that space doing iot and buildings is that power over ethernet is actually getting power over ethernet is actually getting power over ethernet is actually getting some traction we used to use it just to some traction we used to use it just to some traction we used to use it just to extend a place where it didn't have extend a place where it didn't have extend a place where it didn't have electricity well now if you can do power electricity well now if you can do power electricity well now if you can do power over ethernet for so many end points over ethernet for so many end points over ethernet for so many end points inside a building and so you have a Poe inside a building and so you have a Poe inside a building and so you have a Poe enabled switch you've got your high enabled switch you've got your high enabled switch you've got your high speed you know 10 gigabit circuit coming speed you know 10 gigabit circuit coming speed you know 10 gigabit circuit coming into the building you have your power into the building you have your power into the building you have your power breathing out switches and now you're breathing out switches and now you're breathing out switches and now you're extending your ethernet cable your Cat6 extending your ethernet cable your Cat6 extending your ethernet cable your Cat6 cables and it's powering your Wi-Fi cables and it's powering your Wi-Fi cables and it's powering your Wi-Fi access points because they're Poe access points because they're Poe access points because they're Poe enabled yeah there's a there's a hotel enabled yeah there's a there's a hotel enabled yeah there's a there's a hotel in the Fort Worth area where they in the Fort Worth area where they in the Fort Worth area where they retrofit an old hotel every light in retrofit an old hotel every light in retrofit an old hotel every light in every room is actually power over every room is actually power over every room is actually power over ethernet I heard that as well yeah and ethernet I heard that as well yeah and ethernet I heard that as well yeah and they're finding way but the light is they're finding way but the light is they're finding way but the light is powered by power over even right yeah

Summary
The main theme is the surprising lack of recognition for Dutch rock legend Eddie Van Halen among some in the Netherlands, contrasted with the presenter's own "rock and roll" approach to tech and business. The discussion touches on musicianship, fame, and the importance of being "on the road" in one's endeavors. The takeaway is to embrace active engagement and pursuit of one's passions rather than passive observation.
