 Welcome to JSA TV and JSA podcast, the newsroom for telecom and data center professionals. I'm Jamie Scott of Kataya, coming to you from Virtual Metro Connect 2021. Joining me today is my good friend, Steve Higgins. He's the president of Mobile Wear. Steve, welcome back to JSA TV. Hi, Jamie, thanks for having me, great to be here. It's great to have you and for our viewers who don't already know, can you tell us a little bit about Mobile Wear? Absolutely. Mobile Wear is a leading IoT data connectivity provider for companies and industries around the globe. Fairly unique in our solution and our approach with a single SIM solution. Found out of the company in 2004 and feel very fortunate we've been able to have a lot of success and growth in this industry. Yeah, wonderful. 2004, that's 22 years, 15, 16, 17 years. 17 years, yeah. I was getting it. But unbelievable run and of course you guys are having success with a very cutting edge end-to-end connectivity and IoT solution connecting customers, like you said, around the world. Tell us a little bit more, especially about IoT, it's such a buzzword. So one of the things that we really see in the IoT space is customers want a solution that's out of the box and gives them the connectivity they need. They've got sensors in almost every part of their operations now and Gartner projects by 2024, 50% of all manufacturing will be using IoT platform of some type. So we look forward as well and said, yo, let's be at the forefront providing a solution now so they can get it fully implemented into their operations and really utilize that data. The biggest trend that we see is clients want just that. They need usable, digestible data that's going to allow them to understand and analyze that data in real time. And that's exactly what our single SIM card does it allows them to connect any of their sensors anywhere around the world and be able to manage that in one platform. Can you mention clients, which industries and businesses do you think would be an ideal fit for mobile wear single SIM? Yeah, and I love that question. So we are having tremendous success in QSR. So quick serve restaurants, manufacturing and that spans across multiple industries but if you think any kind of a manufacturing process where they're really looking to automate more and more and be able to make some shifts on the fly with real time data. We also have security video surveillance is a large area that we're finding more and more expertise in with those clients and allowing them to really have that real time surveillance from anywhere in the world and be able to monitor that from their knocks. Oh, I love that. Yes, that makes so much sense. And being this unique perspective into these industries and ours, do you have any industry trend that you think will be popping in 2021? Any industry trends. I think you were seeing in the quick serve restaurant vertical through this pandemic many of those companies have heavily stepped back and looked at their operations. You're seeing, you know, some of them change what the drive through experiences like for those clients. Many are going with a curbside or a car side solution where, you know, employees can go right out to the car with a tablet of some type and we're actually providing the connectivity in those tablets allowing those, you know, organizations and clients to fulfill those orders at a lower cost more efficiently and just continuing to improve the customer experience in that as well. Yeah, I've definitely just this weekend had that experience and I was thinking this day make it move so much faster and it's a lot more pandemic. Yeah. Oh, conscious, if you will. So now I know who's powering those tablets. I think the benefit that we bring is, you know, clients don't have to go out and confirm what carriers have the best coverage in the location for each of their stores with our solution. They can just send out one SIM and it's going to automatically pick up and ride on whichever network has the best connectivity in that area no matter where they are in the globe with our connectivity on over 600 carriers around the globe on one SIM card. It certainly solves all their needs. Makes total sense, particularly in this crazy world we're living in currently. So where can our viewers go to learn more about mobile wear? Absolutely. So best place first and foremost is our website mobilewareus.com and also on LinkedIn under mobile wear.
