Mobility, Alternative Access, Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML)
This new frontier already has billions of devices deployed — from the staple phones and tablets to embedded sensors, software, and smart devices that are constantly and consistently providing vital data. Some are very simple, while others contain limited AI for vital functions with minimal oversight. This is not just an exciting new world of tech; this is an exciting new world!

Your Terms and Conditions
Mobility More Than Phones
Mobility More Than Phones
For connected devices that you can’t plug a wire into, you’re potentially looking at a mobility solution. Of course, some mobile solutions also give you the option to insert a device that replaces the long run of wire, with powerful economic and functional benefits.
Internet of Things (Smart Devices)
Retail sensors measuring foot traffic. Healthcare-connected devices. Restaurant temp sensors. Highway seismic sensors tracking traffic load. Apple AirTags. IoT implementation can ensure we get more information, when needed, with less hassle and more benefits.
Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning
We’re still chasing true autonomous AI, where a system learns and works on its own free of oversight. AI is often mistaken for Machine Learning, where high-quality information leads to predictive capabilities and grows more accurate as it “learns” over time.
Sourcing, Design, Proof of Concept
You can find off-the-shelf IoT tech or design, test, and have it built. An interesting fact: 60% of IoT fails in the Proof of Concept (POC) stage, which makes a strong argument for using pre-built solutions or choosing tried-and-true developers when possible.
Deployment & Management
What was once the domain of in-house IT departments everywhere is now routinely outsourced/delivered as a service. Organizations choose to have pre-configured, ready-out-of-the-box solutions that ship directly to the user, with long-term device management.
POTS Replacement
With many copper networks being retired, mobile/smart POTS replacement solutions not only take the place of their tried-and-true predecessors, but they can also often be a cost-saving upgrade, with more capability, visibility, and confidence due to planned failover.
Continuity — Backup Connection
This may be the cheapest insurance policy you ever purchase, whether it’s to replace a circuit should it fail or as part of your SD-WAN solution to provide paths for data to flow optimally. Consider the options and implement your “mix” for best results.
Fixed Wireless
Adopt your own fixed wireless option or take advantage of fixed wireless networks that are available in many major cities. This may not be your primary mode of connection, but it could definitely service a single-purpose device or be part of a large strategy.

Get Mobility Up and In Business
Ryan Yakos hosts an expert panel discussing the elevated importance of mobility. With dispersed workforces here to stay and smart sensors/devices providing information in real-time (seismic, temperature, and battery capacity), organizations can get ahead of what in the past could become a problem. Mobility delivers the punch of greater capability and oversight.
Read and Learn
Solving Business Problems with Data and Connectivity. It’s a common phrase: “All companies are now data companies.” But what does that mean? Simply put, all organizations thrive when they’re able to collect, work with, and protect information about their processes, “customers,” and operations. This is just as true for a retailer and government early warning system as it is for a hospital and a car manufacturer. The value of tiny sensors connected to giant server farms is huge, providing an explosion of information, while often reducing costs.
