Podcasts about Connectivity

In this episode, Tamara Bond-Williams, Executive Director of Space and Satellite Professionals International (SSPI), speaks with Andreas Nil, Co-Founder and Managing Director of MediaMobil, about how satellite communications at sea have evolved from kilobits to multi-orbit, multi-network systems. The conversation explores how maritime operators use VSAT, GEO, and LEO satellites, global teleport networks, and adaptive gateways to keep ships connected across oceans, ports, and national jurisdictions. Andreas explains how MediaMobil's Multilink Gateway dynamically switches between satellite systems based on cost, performance, regulation, and availability—ensuring reliable connectivity even where LEO coverage is restricted. The episode also examines how satellite connectivity supports mobility, sustainability, and critical operations, from route optimization and emissions monitoring to offshore launch platforms and future 5G and 6G non-terrestrial networks. Throughout, Europe emerges as a laboratory for collaboration, regulation, and trust in satellite systems.

www.iotusecase.com#Connectivity #OT #ITIn Podcastfolge 199 sprechen Robin Schubert (Produktmanager) und Frank Tannhäuser (Senior Sales Manager Manufacturing Automation) von Kontron AIS darüber, warum Konnektivität in modernen Produktionsumgebungen zu einer strategischen Aufgabe wird. Viele Werke arbeiten mit Maschinen unterschiedlicher Generationen und Schnittstellen, was stabile OT/IT-Verbindungen, konsistente Datenbereitstellung und sichere Updateprozesse zunehmend erschwert. Gleichzeitig steigen die Anforderungen durch NIS2, den Cyber Resilience Act und die wachsende Notwendigkeit, Daten für Echtzeitprozesse, Qualitätsnachweise oder spätere KI-Anwendungen nutzbar zu machen.Folge 199 auf einen Blick (und Klick):(13:04) Herausforderungen, Potenziale und Status quo – So sieht der Use Case in der Praxis aus(21:15) Lösungen, Angebote und Services – Ein Blick auf die eingesetzten Technologien(28:05) Übertragbarkeit, Skalierung und nächste Schritte – So könnt ihr diesen Use Case nutzenPodcast ZusammenfassungDie Gäste erläutern, warum viele Produktionsanlagen – insbesondere Baujahre um 2010 – eine sehr heterogene Landschaft aus Steuerungen, Schnittstellen und Protokollen aufweisen, was zu Integrationsaufwand, Performanceengpässen und Risiken bei der Updatefähigkeit führt.Ein Schwerpunkt der Folge ist die Frage, wie sich Konnektivität frühzeitig im Anlagendesign berücksichtigen lässt, damit spätere Anforderungen an Sicherheit, Softwarepflege, NIS2-Compliance, CRA-Vorgaben und Skalierbarkeit besser beherrschbar sind. Die Experten zeigen anhand realer Projekterfahrungen, wie ein Edge Layer Maschinen unterschiedlicher Generationen standardisiert anbindet, Daten konsistent bereitstellt und den sicheren Update-Rollout im laufenden Betrieb ermöglicht.Außerdem wird diskutiert, welche technischen Kriterien bei OPC-UA-Anbindungen in hoch getakteten Umgebungen zu beachten sind – etwa Latenzgrenzen unter 100 Millisekunden oder typische Schwankungen im Sekundenbereich je nach Implementierung. Die Gäste geben Einblicke in Integrationsszenarien, in denen FabEagle®Connect als Docker-basierte Komponente im Kontron Grid eingesetzt wird und als verlässliche Datenquelle für MES, Leitsysteme sowie Data-Lake-Umgebungen dient.Im Ausblick zeigen beide Gesprächspartner, wie ein sauber aufgebauter Edge Layer die Grundlage für Digital Twins, KI-basierte Analysen und ein skalierbares Produktionsdatenmanagement bildet. Unternehmen können so schrittweise weitere Linien und Standorte integrieren, ohne bestehende Schnittstellen erneut aufsetzen zu müssen.-----Relevante Folgenlinks:Peter (https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-schopf/)Frank (https://www.linkedin.com/in/frank-tannhaeuser/)Robin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/robin-schubert-automation/)FabEagle®Connect (https://kontron-ais.com/produkte/fabeagle-connect)Jetzt IoT Use Case auf LinkedIn folgen1x monatlich IoT Use Case Update erhalten

In this episode of Technology Reseller News' special series on Telco Days 2025, Doug Green speaks with Damian Mazurek, Chief Innovation Officer at Software Mind, about why the telecom industry is at a historic crossroads – and what it will take for telcos to move from commodity connectivity to AI-era value creators. Mazurek explains how rapid advances in AI, edge computing, LEO satellites and IoT are converging with generational change, especially Gen Z's preference for asynchronous, AI-enabled interactions. Traditional voice and human-to-human communication are giving way to data-driven, bot-mediated experiences. “The next generation will not even talk with us – their AI assistants will do it for them,” he notes, predicting a future where AI agents negotiate, schedule, buy, sell and resolve issues on behalf of human users. To avoid being trapped as low-margin bandwidth providers, Mazurek argues that telcos must evolve from telco to techco, building both an innovation culture and the cloud-native platforms needed to iterate at high speed. He outlines a three-layer framework for AI in the RAN – AI for the run, AI in the run and AI on the run – where AI improves network operations, monetizes unused capacity for AI workloads, and enables new services built on top of programmable, API-driven networks. Mazurek sees major opportunities in: Turning surplus network capacity and distributed edge infrastructure into an “AI grid” that hosts and accelerates AI workloads. Leveraging telco data and real-time APIs to power new services and revenue streams. Enabling sectors like agriculture, aquaculture and industrial automation with reliable connectivity, low latency and AI-ready infrastructure in previously hard-to-reach locations. Delivering proactive, AI-driven customer experiences that match Gen Z expectations for simplicity, personalization and immediacy. Ultimately, Mazurek believes telcos that embrace cloud-native transformation, programmable networks and AI-driven operations can do far more than survive the coming decade. “They can dominate the market and create new business value,” he says, by building the secure, trusted infrastructure that will underpin AI-to-AI communication at global scale.

Rugby fans and supporters at the recent South Africa versus Ireland game last weekend consumed over 2,000 GB of data, the equivalent of two million minutes of music streaming, according to Vodafone Ireland. The surge in data was driven by video recording, sharing and live streaming. Over 15,000 calls were made over the course of match-day - almost one third of the stadium made a phone call. During the Quilter Autumn Internationals, data usage at the stadium reflected strong engagement with fans attending the Japan game consuming almost 1,740 GB and Australia 1,771 GB. The fans at the South Africa game came in with the highest usage. Connectivity demand extended beyond rugby. At this summer's concerts featuring Lana Del Rey and Dua Lipa, attendees consumed 5,137 GB of data across two nights. On the Lana Del Rey night alone, usage reached 2,633 GB, roughly the equivalent of ten years of nonstop podcast listening. Vodafone Ireland invests over €100 million annually in network improvements across Ireland, including upgrades at the Aviva Stadium which focus on delivering uninterrupted mobile and 5G coverage. To meet growing demand, Vodafone Ireland has also implemented network enhancements at Aviva Stadium as part of its nationwide investment program. These include: Deploying 5G capacity and spectrum utilisation in busy sectors. Optimising radios and backhaul for peak-hour demand. Continuous monitoring to adjust parameters during live events. Commenting on the figures, Sheila Kavanagh, Director of Vodafone Networks Ireland, said: "The data and voice activity we've seen at the Aviva Stadium this year shows just how essential reliable connectivity is for sports fans and music lovers. Over the course of the South Africa match-day alone, over 15,000 calls were made alongside significant data usage. Our ongoing investment, including 5G upgrades in the Aviva and throughout the country, ensures we can meet this demand and keep people connected during the biggest and most memorable moments."

Welcome to the 32th episode of The Brain Podcast - the official podcast of the journals Brain and Brain Communications.  This episode features a discussion with first author Dr Philipp J Koch of the Brain article entitled: Neurotransmitter-informed connectivity maps and their application for outcome inference after stroke We discuss a fascinating method to map neurotransmitter-informed brain network maps. From here, the authors examine two separate stroke cohorts and examine the degree of lesion-related disruption of these neurotransmitter connectomes. Of note, disproportionately high damage to dopamine-transporter–weighted networks consistently predicted worse functional recovery. This may lead to exciting therapeutic avenues.  Check out the full article on the Brain website as part of the November 2025 issue: https://doi.org/10.1093/brain/awaf185 This episode was co-hosted, edited and produced by Michael and Adam Handel, co-produced by Xin You Tai and Antonia Johnston, original music by Ammar Al-Chalabi.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Hello, again. This is Trey. Welcome to part 4 in my Cheap Yellow Display (CYD) Project series. If you have hung in there with me so far on this journey, thank you. If you have missed earlier episodes, you can find them on my HPR profile page https://www.hackerpublicradio.org/correspondents/0394.html If you have questions, comments, concerns, or other feedback, please leave an episode comment, or drop me an email (Using the address in my profile). Even better, you could record and upload your own show which shares your viewpoint or expertise. To review, I finally have an actual project to build using the CYD. It is a portable, programmable morse code "Keyer memory" which can be connected to any of my HF transceiver radios by simply plugging it in to the code key input port. Then I could transmit stored messages by simply touching their specific icon on the touch screen. So, now I purchased a pair of CYDs. Each arrived in an anti-static zipper bag with a USB C cable, a 6 inch long 4 pin PB1.25mm to Dupont 2.54mm cable harness, a plastic case holding the CYD itself and a small plastic stylus. There are pictures in the show notes. Depending on how many IO connections I may need, and how I plan to power this, I am probably going to need more 4 pin PB1.25mm wired connectors. You can see a description of the various features and connectors on RandomNerdTutorials writeup about this board ( https://randomnerdtutorials.com/cheap-yellow-display-esp32-2432s028r/ ). The only difference I can see between this description and what I received is that mine have both a MicroUSB and USB C port. Of course, first thing, I had to plug it in and see what happens. It appears to be running some kind of simulation of a web site. The backlit display looks alright. It is not super high resolution, but for the price, it will suite my needs. The touch screen is responsive, but it is pressure sensitive and works best using the provided stylus or a fingernail and not your finger tip. So, I have the CYD. What other hardware do I need? I need to address how one of these will actually connect to my radios. Modern amateur radio transceivers which support continuous wave (CW) transmission (Which is another name for Morse code) generally can use one of two different pieces of hardware for input. The first is what we call a straight key. Below is a photo of the one I own. This is a classic, old fashioned telegraph style code key. It is designed to quickly and easily be pressed down to close a circuit and when released the circuit is opened, effectively making it a normally open push button switch. To send a dot, the operator holds down the key for a short period of time, then releases it. To send a dash, the operator holds down the key for a longer period of time, before releasing it. (We will discuss actual timing specifications for morse code in a future podcast) Connectivity for the switch has been standardized to use a 3.5 mm mono male phone connector which has only sleeve and tip connections. The second option is a paddle style electronic keyer. There are many styles of these, and I am including a picture of the one I use, which once belonged to a close friend of mine who is now silent key. In general, the paddle is two separate normally open switches. In the most common configuration, if an operator presses and releases the paddle on the right, a dash is sent. If the paddle on the right is held, a continuous series of dashes will be sent until that paddle is released. The left paddle works similarly. If it is pressed and released, a single dot is sent. If it is pressed and held, a series of dots is sent until it is released. The function of these paddles can be swapped from left to right using the radio configuration. There is additional functionality which can be configured in some radios for when both paddles are pressed simultaneously, but I am not going to describe those here. The paddle generally uses a 3.5mm stereo male phone connector with the sleeve being common. The tip of the phone connector is wired to the left paddle and ring of the connector is wired to the right paddle. Most modern radios have a built in keyer which can be configured for a paddle and will automatically transmit the dots or dashes at whichever speed is configured based on the paddle pressed. You can see this phone connector illustrated on Wikipedia's phone connector page. . https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phone_connector_(audio ) You can learn more about all the various devices which can be used for sending morse and how they function at Morse Code World . https://morsecode.world/keys.html Ideally, controlling all the morse code timing within the CYD would be best. That way, it could be connected as a straight key and any keyer settings already configured within the radio shouldn't matter. However, If I wish to also be able to manually send morse code myself using my paddles, without disconnecting the CYD and reconfiguring the radio, that could be problematic. I may need to factor in the possibility of connecting my paddle to the CYD and then building in code to respond to inputs from the paddles. As I mentioned in a previous episode, I have an Arduino Nano on my desk as a practice oscillator for my paddles. I may be able to reuse some of that code on the CYD. So, if I want the CYD to appear to the radio like a straight key, I will need it to be able to control a switch quickly and accurately. But I also want the CYD and the radio to be electrically isolated from each other. This calls for a relay. I was able to find and order some inexpensive relay modules which work nicely with Arduino and ESP32. These allow connectivity to 5v power and to one of the CYD's GPIO pins. These feed an optocoupler circuit, which, in-turn, drives the coil of the relay. This provides inductive kickback protection to the CYD and can drive a coil which would require more current than the GPIO can provide. Inductive kickback rabbit trail: An inductor is simply a coil of wire. Direct current flowing through any wire generates a magnetic field. Within the inductor, because the wire is coiled, the magnetic field builds from each pass of the wire in the coil. If you include an iron core, it sustains the magnetic field even better. This is the basis for an electro magnet. A relay is simply a momentary contact switch controlled by an electromagnet. One unique property of an inductor is that, current wants to keep flowing in the direction it was applied. To be specific, when the current source is removed, the magnetic field still exists for a while, and it effectively "generates" an electric current within the coil, in the same direction as the one which initially created the magnetic field to begin with. If it has a path to flow, this current will create another weaker magnetic field, which creates its own electric current, in a diminishing loop. If the circuit which drives the coil of a direct current relay is not ready for this continued push of current, damage can be done. Many times this is countered by wiring a "flyback diode" in parallel with the coil and in the opposite direction in which current will be applied. This way, when the current source is stopped, the diode gives a path for the inductive kickback current to safely flow while the magnetic field dissipates. Explained in greater detail at https://inductive-kickback.com/2019/04/inductive-kickback-made-simple-to-grasp-easy-to-handle/ The switch side of the relay is a single pole double throw (SPDT) and makes connections available for common, normally closed (NC), and normally open (NO). It will be easy to connect the common and NO connections to a 3.5mm mono male connector so that it may be plugged into the "key" port on any radio transmitter. I will need to do some testing on the speed of the relay, but I think it will work just fine. Once I start writing some code for the CYD, I will be able to connect and test the relay. Well, this is a good place to end this episode, and it is one of the longest in this series so far. In the next episode, we will begin to look at how we design the user interface for our program, something I do not know anything about (yet). Stay tuned weekdays for additional exciting episodes of Hacker Public Radio, and, at some point, the next episode in this series.

Tech leaders are often led to believe that they have “full-stack observability.” The MELT framework—metrics, events, logs, and traces—became the industry standard for visibility. However, Robert Cowart, CEO and Co-Founder of ElastiFlow, believes that this MELT framework leaves a critical gap. In the latest episode of the Tech Transformed podcast, host Dana Gardner, President and Principal Analyst at Interabor Solutions, sits down with Cowart to discuss network observability and its vitality in achieving full-stack observability.The speakers discuss the limitations of legacy observability tools that focus on MELT and how this leaves a significant and dangerous blind spot. Cowart emphasises the need for teams to integrate network data enriched with application context to enhance troubleshooting and security measures. What's Beyond MELT?Cowart explains that when it comes to the MELT framework, meaning “metrics, events, logs, and traces, think about the things that are being monitored or observed with that information. This is alluded to servers and applications.“Organisations need to understand their compute infrastructure and the applications they are running on. All of those servers are connected to networks, and those applications communicate over the networks, and users consume those services again over the network,” he added.“What we see among our growing customer base is that there's a real gap in the full-stack story that has been told in the market for the last 10 years, and that is the network.”The lack of insights results in a constant blind spot that delays problem-solving, hides user-experience issues, and leaves organizations vulnerable to security threats. Cowart notes that while performance monitoring tools can identify when an application call to a database is slow, they often don't explain why.“Was the database slow, or was the network path between them rerouted and causing delays?” he questions. “If you don't see the network, you can't find the root cause.”The outcome is longer troubleshooting cycles, isolated operations teams, and an expensive “blame game” among DevOps, NetOps, and SecOps.Elastiflow's approaches it differently. They focus on observability to network connectivity—understanding who is communicating with whom and how that communication behaves. This data not only speeds up performance insights but also acts as a “motion detector” within the organization. Monitoring east-west, north-south, and cloud VPC flow logs helps organizations spot unusual patterns that indicate internal threats or compromised systems used for launching external attacks.“Security teams are often good at defending the perimeter,” Cowart says. “But once something gets inside, visibility fades. Connectivity data fills that gap.”Isolated Monitoring to Unified Experience Cowart believes that observability can't just be about green lights...

“Nobody can be an expert in everything — so you surround yourself with the right partners,” says Chris Young, CEO of Smartel. “That's how you deliver real value, reduce costs, and earn long-term trust.” In this latest episode of the TELCLOUD POTS and Shots Podcast Series, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, is joined by Jake Jacoby, CEO of TELCLOUD, and special guest Chris Young, CEO of Smartel, for a compelling look at how collaboration, data-driven decision-making, and unified connectivity strategies are transforming the POTS replacement landscape. Young introduces Smartel as a 23-year veteran in mobile solutions and wireless expense management, known for simplifying large, complex wireless ecosystems. Their approach centers on centralized management, data ingestion tools, standardized policies, and a responsive customer service model, all aimed at lowering costs and streamlining operations for enterprises nationwide. Jacoby explains why Smartel is an ideal partner for TELCLOUD's POTS replacement vision. As organizations confront escalating copper costs, service shutdowns, and outdated infrastructure, Smartel's audits often reveal both unused POTS lines and mission-critical lines at risk. By pairing Smartel's visibility with TELCLOUD's life-safety-grade replacement platform, the two companies deliver cost savings, continuity, and a long-term service model built to last decades. The discussion widens to the larger industry transformation. With the copper sunset accelerating and AI reshaping telecom workflows, both executives describe POTS replacement as a gateway opportunity — the immediate need that opens the door to broader conversations about edge connectivity, SD-WAN, IoT, backup strategy, and comprehensive modernization. As Young notes, “POTS is our biggest door-opener right now — everyone needs it, and it leads to deeper relationships almost every time.” Jacoby adds that while POTS is hot today, the service is required for the next 20 years, creating dependable recurring revenue for partners who can guide customers through the transition. Both stress that customers ultimately want simplicity, reliability, and cost control — and partnerships like TELCLOUD + Smartel are built to deliver exactly that. And true to the Shots tradition, the episode closes with a tasting of Don Julio Ceniza, an exceptionally rare Extra Añejo aged in charred oak barrels. Smooth, smoky, and difficult to find, Jacoby describes it as one of his personal favorites — and surprises both Doug and Chris by sending each of them a bottle to enjoy off-camera. The perfect pairing for a discussion about premium craftsmanship and long-term value. The POTS and Shots series continues to blend industry insight with cultural storytelling, helping MSPs and partners navigate the telecom transition while taking a tour of the world's greatest tequilas.

Next-generation connectivity is emerging as a powerful solution to meet sustainability goals and enhance operational efficiency. In this episode of ASSEMBLY Audible, we speak with Michael Weller, Global Practice Leader in Manufacturing, Energy, and Utilities at Verizon Business. Did you know, for every million linear feet of copper cabling, manufacturers require significant amounts of energy-intensive infrastructure, often dozens of control closets throughout large facilities. By eliminating this copper-based network design, 5G enables a leaner approach to connectivity. One 5G antenna can replace three to ten Wi-Fi access points, dramatically simplifying plant infrastructure and reducing overall power consumption. Weller shares how private networks are helping manufacturers implement measurable environmental and performance benefits by modernizing network architecture.Sponsored By:

The IfG DevoLab is a new initiative from the Institute for Government dedicated to exploring the innovations enabled by devolution, learning from the results, and sharing the lessons so that places can take better decisions about how to use devolved powers and budgets. On 6 November, the IfG hosted its third IfG DevoLab event in Leeds, at which speakers from three regions set out how the powers and profile of mayors are being used to improve transport connectivity within and between their regions. The three case studies presented at IfG DevoLab #3 were: ‘Improving transport connectivity in West Yorkshire', by Councillor Susan Hinchcliffe, Leader of Bradford City Council and Chair of the West Yorkshire Transport Committee ‘Connecting Liverpool City Region through Merseyrail', by Huw Jenkins, Lead Officer - Transport Policy at Liverpool City Region Combined Authority ‘Mayoral partnerships with Great British Railways' by Richard Crabtree, Head of Mayoral Partnerships at Shadow Great British Railways The three speakers were joined by Tom Bridges, UK Government Business Leader at Arup, for a broader discussion of how devolution can improve transport connectivity, how the government can support innovation and learning, and whether there is a case for further devolution in this area. This event was chaired by Jill Rutter, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government. Insights from this discussion will inform a published policy briefing containing the three case studies and a synthesis of key lessons. We would like to thank Arup for kindly supporting this event. We are also grateful to our strategic partner L&G for its wider support of the IfG DevoLab series.

As much of daily life migrates online, broadband—high-speed internet connectivity—has become a necessity. The widespread lack of broadband in rural America has created a stark urban–rural digital divide. In Farm Fresh Broadband: The Politics of Rural Connectivity (MIT Press, 2021), Dr. Christopher Ali analyzes the promise and the failure of national rural broadband policy in the United States and proposes a new national broadband plan. He examines how broadband policies are enacted and implemented, explores business models for broadband providers, surveys the technologies of rural broadband, and offers case studies of broadband use in the rural Midwest. Ali argues that rural broadband policy is both broken and incomplete: broken because it lacks coordinated federal leadership and incomplete because it fails to recognize the important roles of communities, cooperatives, and local providers in broadband access. For example, existing policies favor large telecommunication companies, crowding out smaller, nimbler providers. Lack of competition drives prices up—rural broadband can cost 37 percent more than urban broadband. The federal government subsidizes rural broadband by approximately $6 billion. Where does the money go? Ali proposes democratizing policy architecture for rural broadband, modeling it after the wiring of rural America for electricity and telephony. Subsidies should be equalized, not just going to big companies. The result would be a multi-stakeholder system, guided by thoughtful public policy and funded by public and private support. Dr. Christopher Ali is Associate Professor in the Department of Media Studies at the University of Virginia and is also the author of Media Localism: The Policies of Place. He is a Knight News Innovation Fellow with the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University and former Fellow with the Benton Institute for Broadband & Society. Michael O. Johnston, Ph.D. is Assistant Professor of Sociology at William Penn University. His most recent research, “The Queen and Her Royal Court: A Content Analysis of Doing Gender at a Tulip Queen Pageant,” was published in Gender Issues Journal. He researches culture, social identity, placemaking, and media representations of social life at festivals and celebrations. He is currently working on a book titled Community Media Representations of Place and Identity at Tug Fest: Reconstructing the Mississippi River.

Where does the money go? Ali proposes democratizing policy architecture for rural broadband, modeling it after the wiring of rural America for electricity and telephony. Subsidies should be equalized, not just going to big companies. The result would be a multi-stakeholder system, guided by thoughtful public policy and funded by public and private support. Dr. Christopher Ali is Associate Professor in the Department of Media Studies at the University of Virginia and is also the author of Media Localism: The Policies of Place. He is a Knight News Innovation Fellow with the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University and former Fellow with the Benton Institute for Broadband & Society. Michael O.

As much of daily life migrates online, broadband—high-speed internet connectivity—has become a necessity. The widespread lack of broadband in rural America has created a stark urban–rural digital divide. In Farm Fresh Broadband: The Politics of Rural Connectivity (MIT Press, 2021), Dr. Christopher Ali analyzes the promise and the failure of national rural broadband policy in the United States and proposes a new national broadband plan. He examines how broadband policies are enacted and implemented, explores business models for broadband providers, surveys the technologies of rural broadband, and offers case studies of broadband use in the rural Midwest. Ali argues that rural broadband policy is both broken and incomplete: broken because it lacks coordinated federal leadership and incomplete because it fails to recognize the important roles of communities, cooperatives, and local providers in broadband access. For example, existing policies favor large telecommunication companies, crowding out smaller, nimbler providers.

Out of the blue, Plains All American has scooped up 100% of the EPIC Crude Pipeline. Plains had previously announced an agreement to buy a 55% stake in the Permian-to-Corpus-Christi pipeline from Diamondback Energy and Kinetik Holdings, and on November 5, it said it had closed on a deal to buy the other 45% from Ares Management. In today's RBN blog, we'll discuss what the acquisition means for Plains, as well as a possible expansion of EPIC and the planned rebranding of the pipe.

Why you should listen Uplink is building a decentralized network that connects people, devices, and businesses through shared internet infrastructure. It allows individuals and organizations to contribute their existing Wi-Fi routers and other connectivity devices to a global network, turning unused bandwidth into an asset. Participants can earn rewards for providing connectivity or verifying that network nodes are operating correctly, creating a distributed and incentivized internet ecosystem rather than relying solely on centralized telecom providers. The Uplink system operates with several key roles. Consumers use the network to access connectivity, while providers share or deploy routers and other hardware to extend coverage. Verifiers check that network nodes are genuine and functioning as claimed, validators maintain the blockchain that underpins the network's operation, and holders stake the native token to help govern and secure the ecosystem. Together, these roles form a circular economy where connectivity, verification, and governance all reinforce each other. Uplink's goal is to scale beyond Wi-Fi into other communication technologies such as 5G and LoRaWAN, creating a fully decentralized connectivity layer for the modern internet. The company is hardware-agnostic and aims to integrate with millions of existing access points worldwide. Over time, Uplink plans to expand its network through user adoption, partnerships, and blockchain incentives, establishing an open, verifiable infrastructure where anyone can contribute to and benefit from global connectivity.   Supporting links Stabull Finance Uplink Andy on Twitter  Brave New Coin on Twitter Brave New Coin   If you enjoyed the show please subscribe to the Crypto Conversation and give us a 5-star rating and a positive review in whatever podcast app you are using.
