 Welcome to JSA TV, the newsroom for tech and telecom professionals. I'm Jamie Scott-Okataya of JSA, and here at Telecom Exchange LA in Beverly Hills, we're joined by Ms. Amy Marks, she is the CEO and co-founder of Excite Modular. Amy, welcome to JSA TV. Thank you, Jamie, happy to be here. We are so thrilled to have you, and you are a true, fabulous female speaker in our industry. Thought leader, couldn't be more excited for our viewers who might not be familiar. Can you tell us a little bit about Excite? Excite Modular is a design build company that we focus on critical infrastructure buildings, including modular cable landing stations, data centers, ILA huts, PFE shelters, anything that's a technology embedded modular building. And we build them here in the United States and we ship them all over the world. We've built and installed on six of the seven continents. And I think what's really unique about us is that we just have a can-do attitude and we want our clients to be delighted. So I think we're that team that everyone comes to when they just need to solve for problems and they're looking for solutions and committed players that will make their lives easier. And boy, can your products stand up against crazy typhoon category five. Sadly, Typhoon U2 made landfall as a category five typhoon in the Philippines just last week. And although it wreaked havoc in the area, what did stay was that Excite Modular cable landing station. It's still standing untouched. Can you tell us a little bit more about your MCLS and this horrific storm? Yeah, so it was a cat five typhoon. And it actually went ripping through Philippines as well as Saipan. And the hardest hit was an island called Tinian, which we happen to have a modular cable landing station on Tinian that was designed to withstand 210 mile per hour winds. And we just installed both on Tinian and Rhoda for the ATISA system for DoCo Mo Pacific last year. And so although they are designed to withstand those those kinds of winds and that level storm, we were tested immediately really within the year on one of the probably the worst storm in US history because those are US owned islands. And so I was very happy to hear from our client that everyone was safe. That was first and foremost. And that, you know, he said, Amy, we'd love for you to use us in your marketing materials because we're so happy with the fact that we have these wonderful buildings that withstood, you know, this kind of a storm. And he also told me that they had a containerized container on the site as well. And it got blown about 300 yards off of the site. And, you know, I always, you know me in the industry as the hashtag not a container person. And I think that's why, you know, we are really really purposeful about our buildings being hardened and making sure that everyone gets a building design for the requirements that their location is going to need or might need. Or even though this is a may never happen storm, you know, they need to be ready for that. And they really were. So I give a lot of kudos to our clients for requiring that in their building. And I'm happy with my team and living up to the standards that we set at Excite. I mean, amazing story. Typhoon category five just last week and her modular landing station untouched when other containers in the area literally blown away. So a wonderful case study of the quality of work that you and your team deliver. You know, it's interesting. I always say if I'm anywhere on an island or any town or any city where there is an incident, I always used to say to my clients, I know the first place I'm going is to my building. And I truly stand behind that because the first place I would go in those types of situations is to my building. And I know I would be safe. So I'm happy to hear that our teams were safe out there. And you are being recognized. Excite modular was recently awarded a contract from the Solomon Island submarine cable company, for example, to design and build four modular cable landing stations. There's so many contracts you're winning, I want to say. Tell us a little bit more. What's going on at Excite? It's a bit busy actually right now. So we've actually increased the size of our staff because we know everyone in the industry. So we're picking and choosing who we really want to bring in that fits our culture and has the experience. But really our core staff, we're lucky that we're winning some great projects. We're actually doing six buildings in the Philippines as well and three in Europe, the ones in Solomon Islands and now also P&G. So we've got a lot coming up and even more that I can't yet talk about. But we're really excited about it. And I think people are truly recognizing in our industry that they want to go to an expert that actually has built a lot of these buildings, learned a lot of things and are applying that learning every single time to the next building we're doing. So we really build relationships and I think they come back to us as these are a lot of different developers that sort of morph into other groups and they know the quality of what we have to build so they come back and we're real pleased that they come back to us. I love that and I could just imagine what your passport must look like all the different stands like world traveler for sure. I live on an airplane a bit as you know and I wouldn't do it any other way. I mean, we are passionate about making our clients delighted in this industry. So I'll go to the ends of the earth as my clients know. I always say sleep on my cell phone sometimes on the plane on the way to see them. But yeah, we love our clients. Yeah, well it shows. So what is next? What's on the horizon for Excite in the next three to six months? Yeah, so we've actually, what's on the horizon for us at Excite is really we're adding a preventive maintenance program in our offer of services to lots of our clients that have asked for it. Really, we're doing it because they've asked. They don't want us to just build the building. They want us to stay around and help them maintain the building over the years to come. And although we have a 50 year plus lifespan building, you know, we're going to be there every year now for each of those clients doing lots of preventive maintenance services. And really again, continuing to grow our relationship with clients and make sure that our buildings, you know, live up to the expectation that we have of those buildings and really outperform, you know, anything that's on the market. Again, another testament to your dedication to customer satisfaction and delivering the product that you stand behind. So I couldn't love that more. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, I feel like we really love this industry. And I think the other thing you're going to see from us is that we are really pushing. We have more and more clients that are morphing their cable lining stations to data centers. So we're building more and more hybrid cable station data centers and more and more edge and micro data centers as a result of that. So we see a real need and people asking us for more and more micro and edge data centers anywhere around the world and even in the U.S. especially where people have, you know, moved towards digitization in those countries. So we're moving a little into a little bit different path on doing the micro and edge data centers, but it's morphed out of our, you know, experience in data centers as well as the cable lining station side. And listening to customers for sure. I'm really listening. Honestly, we really do appreciate what our customers want and need and we're following their lead. You know, we want to be able to service them on whatever their path is. I got to love that. Okay. So I'm sure really what our viewers want to know, where can they find out more?
