 Welcome to JSATV, the newsroom for tech and telecom professionals. I'm Jamie Scott of Kataya, here at Telecom Exchange NYC at the fabulous W. Ho Bokem. Joining me here today, my good friend, Mr. Glenn Johansson, he is the CEO and president of Light River. Glenn, welcome to JSATV. Good morning. Thanks for having me here. Oh, thanks for being here and for being such supporters of, well, us and everything we do. We certainly feel the love and appreciate it. We have a great long-term relationship, so we're thrilled to be here. Yeah, we're so honored. And for our viewers who may not already know, you should know, but just in case, tell us a little bit about Light River. You know, Light River was formed something over 20 years ago with one purpose in mind, and that was to bring the next and best multi-vendor transport solutions to the industry. And so, you know, more than half of us are degree engineers, and we focus on multi-vendor transport solutions, and we provide the hardware, software, and professional services that bring that all together. And I feel like you're being a bit modest. So 2019, banner year for you guys, you're scooping up all the awards. So I have a list, actually. You went to, from PTC, the Lightwave and CRN awards. You were a winner of the Pipeline Innovation Awards, recognizing Netflix, of course, as part of Pipeline's service assurance category. Tell us what makes you so award-winning. You know, I did mention that more than half of us are engineers. So we focus on technology. We focus on innovation, and most of all, we focus on our customers. And because of that, we're always looking forward, and we built kind of a culture of innovation and the next generation solutions. So because of that, we're always thinking about how do we do something different, how do we do it better? How do we better meet the needs of our customers? And that just leads us into new, exciting areas. And the industry tends to recognize folks that innovate. So we're thrilled. You're innovating and from your heart with your customers' needs in mind the whole time, and I can tell that from each one of your team members. And it's really, it's amazing. So tell us a little bit about some exciting projects that you might be working on. So my favorite project right now is that within a month, we'll be moving into the new home for Light River software. So our software product, Netflix, which brings together over 300 different products from, I think, 19 or 20 different vendors over the whole history of transport. It was a product that was actually invented in Bell Labs and spun out as part of Light River a number of years ago. And so we're actually moving back home to the Bell Works facility in Homedale, which was the original Bell Works facility where so many of the technologies that we all take for granted today were actually invented. So within a month we'll be there, we'll be back home in a very exciting new location for us and a great future home of Light River software. You are just turning that building back on a step back in time, but you're also pushing it forward. You guys are going to have a lab. They are yourself, right? Yeah, absolutely. No, it's all about labs. It's all about bringing together all the technologies, the entire history of transport, frankly, and then everything going forward. So it's all about next generation, but also working with the legacy systems that are out there in everyone's networks today, whether it be carriers, utilities, next generation content providers. So thrilled to be right in the heart of the transport industry. Yeah, and we'll also dig in your neighbors too. Highlands moving in as well. So you guys, yeah, we're going to be there all the time. We're trying to get a desk actually over there. So as we approach the middle of 2019, tell us what is next for the next part of the year for Light River? It's one of those such an exciting time. So because we have the knowledge about the hardware and the next generation technologies, and because we have the professional services wrapped around our very innovative factory built network concept where we pre-build, pre-provision networks in our factory, and then rapidly deploy them in the field. And then we wrap it all together with the software. We're able to offer very unique solutions for our customers and bundle together the hardware, the professional services, and the software that really help customers build, design, maintain state-of-the-art transport networks. So you're going to see more and more of those kinds of bundling kind of activities from us this year. Yeah, and I was just talking to Mike Jonas, your friend there, and you guys were being called the glue to our industry. So I think that speaks volumes to what you guys are doing, how critical it is to our network infrastructure ecosystem. So thank you for that. Thank you. Where can our viewers go to learn more?
