Full Episode: Topics Covered The Wireless Revolution: Accelerating Connectivity and Empowering Businesses Enabling Seamless and Reliable Connectivity: Bigleaf’s Innovative Solutions Paving the Way for a Hyper-Connected Future: The Next Frontier in Wireless Technology 5

(2:25) 5G Revolutionizes Wireless from Backup to Primary Network Solution “With the onset of 5G, the real transition is trying to get as many customers as possible to switch to 5G as a replacement for wireline solutions. There has been a huge investment in this space from the major carriers—totaling hundreds of billions of dollars—both from a construction perspective and in acquiring spectrum for those different services.”
(3:24) Investing in Wireless Network Solution for a Seamless Connectivity “The rationale from a big corporate perspective is that building a wireless network requires significantly less investment than a wireline network. You can save money by installing a tower in your region and servicing multiple houses with one tower instead of laying internet cables to each business and household.”
(4:08) Bigleaf Providing Seamless Connectivity with Intelligent Routing and Support “Bigleaf is truly unique. It takes you to our proprietary network, which performs intelligent routing and bi-directional, application-based QoS. This means it will prioritize the applications you’re using that are most critical while deprioritizing less critical traffic.” 8
(2:07) 1-10 Rating: Importance of Wireless Connectivity in the Modern Business Landscape “The importance of wireless connectivity is clearly a 10 out of 10—without question. That’s not just my opinion but also amongst Fortune 100 companies. These companies with distributed retail franchise businesses are investing hundreds of millions of dollars to ensure their internet connectivity remains operational. They are using wireless technology across the board to make that happen.”
(3:15) Navigating Bigleaf’s Reliable and Cost-Effective Technology for Businesses “Bigleaf's services are not expensive at all. They're very cost-effective—less than your cable bill right now. From a simplicity perspective, there’s no configuration. You take it out of the box, plug it into the wall, and connect your devices. It seamlessly integrates into your existing network.”
(3:27) Bigleaf's Unmatched Retention and Simplified Networking Solutions “Bigleaf's retention rate is 110% and it was 111% as of last month, and it continues to climb over time. Customers continue to stay with us, buy more, and add new sites with us, and that’s been going on for a pretty long time. That’s really unheard of in the market.” 11
(2:05) 5G and Satellite: Evolving Wireless Networks for Connectivity “5G is here. It’s not going anywhere. It’s only going to get bigger from this point on. You’re also going to see satellite technology coming in, and really what a lot of the major carriers will look to do is create what I call the hardening of the wireless internet.”
(1:41) Future of Wireless Technology with 5G Connectivity and Beyond “Big companies will start to come together to create what I call hardened wireless connectivity where phones will have the ability to capture satellite and 5G signal. Technologies like what Bigleaf offers will be the ones that help enable those kinds of advancements, and in the longer term, you’ll start to see things like 6G become part of the conversation.”
