Welcome to IoT Coffee Talk #170 where we have a chat about all things IoT over a cup of coffee or two with some of the industry's leading business minds, thought leaders and technologists in a totally unscripted, organic format. Thanks for joining us. Sit back with a cup of Joe and enjoy the morning banter.
In this week's episode, Bill, Stephanie, Rob, Leonard and special guest, Jeff Gavlinkski of Mountain Connect, jump into the metaverse to Party Up! (R.I.P. DMX) and talk about BEAD and how Rob and Leonard live in underserved communities that are supposed to be "5G coverage" areas.
We talk about the importance of the maps and data that may or may not do a great job of helping us figure out where billions in U.S. Federal funding goes to connect EVERYONE!
How do we assure that we minimize fraud and waste and arm communities and service providers with the technologies and know-how to deploy the "best" connectivity solutions to build out their infrastructure?
What role will 5G play and will it live up enough to expectations to bridge the digital divide reliably and at a low cost.
Find out why Rob is WMX, DMX's alter ego.
Can we do better than Emergency SOS in light of the tragedy in Maui and other places that have and will suffer natural and unnatural catastrophe?
We also delve into the complexities and challenges of planning, designing, and implementing heterogeneous connectivity solutions that keep costs low and help projects meet their BEAD commitments to the U.S. government and ultimately taxpayers who are fronting the bill to foster connected equity.
You will want to watch this one all the way through. The nuggets are hidden and could make all the difference in your business, so we hope you will take your time.
Also, check out Mountain Connect at www.mountainconnect.io. It is a great conference. Reach out to Jeff Gavlinski to find out more.
Great ready to get real!
