Wholesale isn’t the back office of telecom. It’s the engine of digital economies. Every fiber route we connect and every interconnection we enable strengthens not just networks but the economies and industries they power. From cross-border connectivity to cloud enablement, wholesale is where infrastructure turns into impact and where regional collaboration creates real value. As leaders, our role isn’t just to build. It’s to connect. To align. To make sure every step forward in telecom opens a door for the next generation of innovators, platforms, and economies. This is how we move from infrastructure to lasting outcomes ✌️ #TelecomLeadership #WholesaleStrategy #RegionalConnectivity #DigitalInfrastructure

Really interesting announcements today from Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) about the ability for emergency calls and security / preparedness communications to connect via #WiFi networks and #OpenRoaming, for resiliency and extra in-building reach. There's a three reports and multiple angles here: - Automated connection of phones and other devices to Wi-Fi for 911 / 999 / 112 calls via OpenRoaming, even if there's normally some other authentication method needed. This is broadly similar to the cross-network roaming for emergency calls across cellular networks, and works irrespective of subscription status - Ability to use #WiFiCalling for #emergency #voice comms. (This is for public calls to emergency services, not for first responders' own critical radio comms) - Prioritisation of public safety and "emergency preparedness" traffic on Wi-Fi networks, despite any network congestion. During critical incidents, there can be a huge surge of traffic, especially if mobile infrastructure is damaged (eg in a hurricane). Being able to dedicate capacity or prioritise usage by key personnel or devices makes both the Wi-Fi network and overall communications more resilient and suitable for first responders. - Better location-awareness and use of the Wi-Fi infrastructure for positioning, especially indoors, and the ability to communicate that to the public-safety dispatchers and systems. Based on a quick scan of the documents, some of these features are dependent on newer #Wi-Fi7 systems, with others designed to function on older variants. In general, I think this is an excellent move - in many emergency situations, Wi-Fi and fixed/fibre networks may be more tolerant of outages than cellular, and there will also be some users with Wi-Fi only devices. It adds to the options for communications and network coverage, and also seems to have been designed in a way to minimise possible user intervention and confusion in stressful situations. However, there will be a need in some cases to have some sort of "emergency profile" included in devices. I'd say this is also a very good way to encourage broader adoption of PassPoint and OpenRoaming by enterprises, building owners, CSPs and device vendors - and could also prompt regulators / policymakers to consider it as mandatory. Lastly, I think this is a step in the right direction to a broader view of emergency communications. As well as different access networks - mobile, fixed, Wi-Fi and soon satellite - I think that there should be a much broader "emergency API" approach, so that calls can be initiated in messaging apps, or even from AI voice platforms, going beyond some limited use of things like smart speakers or in-car eCall today. I'll also be covering emergency aspects of Wi-Fi on my enterprise innovations panel at the WBA #WGCEMEA conference in Paris next week. #publicsafety #firstresponders #criticalcommunications #wifi #telecom #regulation https://lnkd.in/eGkDYVgQ

Where are telecom leases booming in 2025? If you guessed major metros only, think again. 📍Urban rooftops are still in demand but so are secondary markets with strong data needs and zoning flexibility. This year, we’re seeing increased activity in: 🔴 The Southeast 🔴 Central Valley and Inland Empire (California) 🔴 Mountain West metros like Denver and Salt Lake City 🔴 Mid-sized Midwest markets with underutilized sites The common thread? Carriers are optimizing networks where people live and work, not just the traditional tower zones. Whether you have a lease in place or not, understanding market trends is key to maximizing site value. #TelecomRealEstate #WirelessLeases #CRE #NAIGlobalWireless #MarketTrends

Today in Tech History- February 19th, 1971- The first warrant is issued to search a computer’s storage is issued by the San Jose-Milpitas district of the Santa Clara County Court. The warrant states that on February 4th,1971, the President of Information Systems Design in Oakland, CA, discovered a set of “key punch cards” connected to a computer terminal. The punch cards contained a program that provided a computer with remote plotting capability. This computer program was a trade secret valued at $15,000 ($106,000 in 2022 dollars). The warrant allowed the searching of: -Key Punch Computer Cards, punched with a proprietary remote plotting program -Computer Printout sheets of a proprietary remote plotting program -Computer memory bank and other data storage devices magnetically imprinted with the proprietary computer program. This event would lead to increasingly sophisticated methods of encryption to hide computer files from law enforcement agents.
